Revenue down 16% to £3.9m
Day to day losses ⬇️ £500k to £2.8m
Wages ⬇️19% to £4.2m. Wages 110% of income
Operating loss ⬇️ £500k to £2.8m
Player purchases £500k

MK Dons Matchday income ⬇️ due to covid. Offset by Premier League distribution and iFollow passes. Furlough income £325k compared to £536k previous year.
MK Dons had £275k of cash at 30 June 2021. Total losses almost £15m and club dependent on group to stay solvent.
MK Dons Matchday income decrease offset by higher league distribution as PL gave £50m in loans and grants to clubs in L1 and L2. Furlough scheme grants lower than previous season. Player sale profits were over £2m
Employee numbers ⬇️ from 124 to 107. Total wage bill down by £1m but still exceeds income.
MK Dons turned a pre-tax loss to a post-tax profit by transferring losses to other parts of the Stadium MK Group via group relief, which is what I originally thought took place on some NSFW websites.
MK Dons signed players for £499k in 2020/21 and total cost of squad was £829k at end of season.
MK Dons owe other group companies over £12.5m at 30 June 2021. Tax creditors substantially down as club started to repay outstanding PAYE/VAT as the government schemes wound down.
MK Dons may have to pay further transfer fee add-ons of £615k if certain conditions are achieved.

West Ham publish financials for year ended 31 May 2021: Key numbers
Revenue up 38% to a record £193m despite Covid.
Wages little change
Day to day losses down from £80m to £26m
Net transfer spend minus £3m
Borrowings down £11m to £109m #WHUFC
Total revenue up as broadcast increase due to more matches in period 1 June 2020-31 May 2021 than previous year. This offset decrease in matchday income. Gap to the Sneaky Six still huge though. #WHUFC
Broadcast income almost doubled due to more matches being played so be cautious when comparing to 2019/20 as many matches postponed due to Covid. Good by standards of 'Other 14' but still some catching up to do on you know who.

Spurs (admirably detailed) publish 2021 accounts: Key numbers are
Revenue down £60m
Wages up £20m
Loss before tax up to £80m
Player purchases £110m
Borrowings £853m
Transfer fees owed to other clubs £170m #THFC
Spurs revenue ⬇️ by £60m mainly due to matches behind closed doors. UEFA money down £27m due to lack of CL participation. EPL 📺 money ⬆️ £89m as played 44 games in year to 30 June 2021 compared to 32
Spurs wage bill up £23m to £204m but still over £100m lower than MCFC, MUFC and LFC. Amortisation (transfer fees spread over contract life) down but may be due to a player impairment (writedown) of £8.5m
I would give @Only1Argyle 6 stars if I could in relation to their 2020/21 accounts. They are out early, they are comprehensive and they are transparent. #PAFC#Plymouth
Revenue was down 19% in 2020/21, mainly due to the season taking place behind closed doors. The main hit was in terms of matchday (down 68%) but broadcast was up and academy/merch/commercial was solid #PAFC
Main costs are wages, Argyle's hardly changed during the year although went up from 69% to 85% of income due to Covid.
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.
