A depressing but predictable outcome at Derby which will result in jobs lost, local businesses unpaid & responsibility for the mess denied by those in charge as they blame everyone but themselves. Expect a crocodile tears performance when they appear in front of the cameras

Despite a full season of Covid, Manchester United's revenue exceeded that of any other EPL club from the previous season. #MUFC
Although almost every match was BCD, Manchester United still generated more money from matchday in 2020/21 than two other clubs did the previous season when Covid only impacted upon the last half dozen matches. Matchday income includes membership fees .
Combination of being in the Champions League and having more PL matches in the period 1 July 2020 to 20 June 2021 meant that broadcast income up by 82% to £255m.
Premier League total income for 2019/20 down £633 million compared to previous season as Covid impact from March onwards. Gap between G6 and Other 14 average narrowed from £345m to £303m, which may 'justify' (in their own minds only) Project Big Powergrab & SuperLeague Franchise
EPL matchday income down 14% due to lockdown impact. Manchester United knocked off their perch for first time in EPL history by Spurs, who went from 4th to 1st. G6 clubs had 73% of matchday income, due to bigger stadia & more matches due to UEFA participation.
EPL broadcast income down £703m. Noticeable that Arsenal earned less than Sheffield United, a sign of a club clinging onto its 'Big Six' status?
Crystal Palace accounts for 2019/20 published, covers 13 months to include whole of season which ended in July:
Highlights #CPFC
Revenue down 8% to £142m
Wages up 11% to £132m (mainly due to 13 months)
Operating loss £60m
Player sale profits £0.5m
Total income includes all matches from 19/20, down a bit but expected due to loss of matchday & broadcast rebate.
Palace matchday down 19%. In bottom six of EPL which reinforces view that stadium expansion & new stand needed. #CPFC
Forest Green Rovers of League Two do publish full accounts for 14 months accounts for 19/20 and made a profit of £800k, although the club did receive over £2.6m of sponsorship from other companies in the group #FGR
FGR cash substantially down and total losses over the years exceed £12.7 million.
FGR income up 30% despite Covid. Matchday income just 11% of total as commercial income from other companies in group substantial. Also had furlough income of £433k & £250k from Bolton after professional wrong ‘un weaselled on Christian Doidge deal
Salford City lost £65,000 a week in their first season in the EFL in 2019/20 and total losses now exceed £9 million. Disappointing that @GNev2 takes advantage of legislation to only show the bare minimum information. Other clubs such as Carlisle in L2 far more transparent.
Salford signed players for £280k in 2019/20. Not possible to determine sales due to lack of transparency
Salford owe owners Project 92 Ltd £5.8 million at 30 June 2020. Owners also put £2.5m into club via a share issue.
