I had a couple of requests for new financial fact sheets for Stoke City and Hull City. To be clear, this is not new data, but a summarised presentation of old figures. The usual detailed analysis is available on my timeline #SCFC #HCAFC
Despite relegation, #SCFC cut loss from £30m to £15m, as revenue dropped £57m to £71m, but lower wages £38m and impairment £28m. Steep operating losses offset by high player sales. 2nd highest revenue and wages in Championship. Debt to owner up to £141m and transfer debt to £67m. ImageImage
#HCAFC made profits in 5 of last 6 seasons, though fell from £24m to £3m in 2019, due to lower player sales. Lowest wages to turnover ratio in Championship of 51%. Repaid £50m of debt in last 3 years. Only £2m spent on players in 2019. 83% of revenue from TV (parachute payments). ImageImage

Review of Rangers' financial results for the 2023/24 season, when when they finished as runners-up in the SPFL Premiership for the third year in a row, were defeated in the Scottish Cup Final, but did win the League Cup. Also reached the Europa League last 16 #RangersFC Image
After two years of small losses, when they very nearly broke-even, Rangers lost £17m before tax, mainly because profit from player sales dropped from £24m to £6m #RangersFC Image
Image
Rangers' revenue rose £4.5m (5%) from £83.8m to a club record £88.3m, which means that this has grown by an impressive £35.1m (66%) in the last five years from £53.2m #RangersFC Image

Review of Manchester United's financial results for the 2023/24 season. As always, #MUFC are the first Premier League club to publish their accounts.

The period included official confirmation of the deal whereby Sir Jim Ratcliffe acquired a 27.7% stake in United. Image
On the plus side, revenue rose £14m (2%) from £648m to a new club record of £662m, while profit from player sales increased from £20m to £37m, United's best result for 15 years #MUFC
Image
Image
However, the pre-tax loss quadrupled, widening by £98m from £33m to £131m, the second worst in United’s history. Club has posted a loss 5 years in a row, compared to healthy profits in five of the six years up to 2018/19 #MUFC Image

Lowest gross spends were at Manchester City £25m and Liverpool £43m.

As Sunderland prepare for the new season, I took a look at the club's focus on sustainability. How close are they to achieving this and what are the implications for the performance on the pitch? #SAFC Image
The last available accounts from the 2022/23 season are now a full year out of date, but they still offer some indications of how well the strategy is working #SAFC
The bad news is that Sunderland have reported losses 17 years in a row, adding up to a hefty £272m. However, more positively, the club has drastically reduced the size of its losses, averaging less than £7m in the last four years, compared to £20m in the preceding decade #SAFC Image

A review of Ipswich Town's finances, as they return to the Premier League after 22 long years away. Focus is on the latest available accounts from 2022/23, but also has comparisons with Championship clubs and some estimates for the top flight #ITFC Image
Losses have been growing under the new owners, as they invested in the squad and infrastructure in an attempt to return Ipswich to former glories - which has clearly worked #ITFC Image
Even though they were in League One, 2022/23 was the first time that the club broke through the £20m revenue barrier since the last time that they were in the Premier League back in 2001/02 #ITFC Image
