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The last available accounts from the 2022/23 season are now a full year out of date, but they still offer some indications of how well the strategy is working #SAFC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

So Everton have been deducted 10 points by the Premier League for a breach of the Profitability & Sustainability Rules #EFC

I have frequently looked at their case, the last time during an overall review of FFP. The article can be found on my blog here swissramble.substack.com/p/financial-fa…
However, given the importance of this decision, I've attached a series of screen shots from that article that help explain the background #EFC
First, Everton's initial FFP situation over the monitoring period up to 2021/22, where they are a fair way over the maximum allowed loss #EFC Image

Analysis of Rangers' 2022/23 financial results, when pre-tax loss slightly increased to £3m, as revenue fell 4% to £84m and operating expenses rose £11m, partly offset by profit on player sales more than doubling to club record £24m #RangersFC

Image
In terms of profitability, #RangersFC and #CelticFC were at the opposite end of the spectrum with Rangers posting a small £3m pre-tax loss, while Celtic generated a record £41m profit. Image
Given that both clubs qualified for the Champions League, the size of the gap might come as a surprise. Cost bases are very similar, but #CelticFC revenue is substantially higher plus once-off other income, partly offset by #RangersFC better player sales.
