Manchester United's 2020 results have been summarised via a press release, so here's a dip into what we know to date. Total revenue is down 18% due to a combo of Covid and not qualifying for the Champions League, lowest revenue since 2015. #MUFC
Manchester United have had highest revenue in the Premier League for many years. Other clubs have not published 2019/20 figures yet but it will be a battle for top spot, suspect they will maintain their position...just. #MUFC
Matchday income has been very consistent over the last decade. Owners have been criticised over many issues but ST prices have been constant now for many years. Loss of fixtures in front of paying audience & no CL main drivers of £21m fall.
The Boundary Park version of Spot the Difference is out, except it’s with the club accounts after they are republished for 2018. (Still no sign of 2019). The (unaudited) original accounts showed a £5.6m profit, new version shows just a £2m profit #OAFC
The original accounts included £51k of goodwill being written off, new version has no write off.#OAFC
The old version of accounts shows no asset sales, the new version shows property with a cost of £2.9 million being sold. Surely you know whether or not you’ve sold a multimillion pound piece of property? #OAFC Old version says assets in June 2017 cost £2.99m but revised is £3.38m

Reading had an operating loss of £40.6m in 2018/19, which is after taking into account £1.7m of management charge income to another group co & £3m loan fee for Sone Aluko to a club controlled by Reading owners. Without these losses would have been over £45m #Royals
Reading reduced losses to ‘just’ £30m through player disposals & selling training ground to club owners for £13m at a profit of over £8m. The previous season Reading did similar with the Majedski Stadium. #Royals
Reading did not receive any cash for the sale of the training ground, it was offset against the sum due to owners, who put in £28m of shares and increased loans by £6.5m #Royals
