The Premier League has published details of the TV payments to clubs for the 2021/22 season. These amounted to £2.5 bln, ranging from £153m for champions #MCFC to £101m for 20th placed #NCFC (the first time the bottom club got more than £100m).
The largest increases compared to the previous season came at #BHAFC, up £16m, and #AFC, up £11m. In contrast, three clubs received over £10m less than 2020/21: #LUFC £17m, #EFC £13m and #LCFC £11m.
Each of the 20 Premier League clubs received £87.5m as an equal share, coming from domestic rights £31.8m, overseas rights £48.9m and commercial revenue £6.8m.
Merit payment depends on finishing place in the league, ranging from £41.1m for champions #MCFC to £2.1m for 20th placed #NCFC. There has always been a merit payment for domestic rights, but latest deal also introduced a merit element for overseas rights. Each place worth £2.1m.
Facility fees are paid based on the number of games broadcast live. In 2021/22 the minimum payment was £11.0m for 12 live games, while the maximum was £25.3m for 29 games (for both #AFC and #LFC). Each live game is worth an additional £0.8m.
A club that is frequently broadcast live can actually earn more than a club finishing above it in the league, e.g. in 20221/22 #AFC finished 5th in the league, but received more money than 3rd placed #CFC, as they were shown live 5 more times (29 games vs 24).
The split of TV payments in the Premier League highlights the importance of the equal share, especially for clubs finishing lower, e.g. #NCFC £101m total TV money was very largely driven by the £88m equal share, while this contributed to only 57% of #MCFC £153m.
In total the Premier League £2.5 bln TV money was split as follows: equal share £1.75 bln (69%), merit payments £432m (17%) and facility fees £355m (14%).
The TV money distribution method in the Premier League remains the most equitable of Europe’s major football leagues with the ratio from top to bottom earning club being only 1.5. This is much better than other leagues: Serie A 2.7, Bundesliga 3.1, Ligue 1 3.1 and La Liga 3.5.

While Manchester City have hit some bad form on the pitch recently, their financial results for the 2023/24 season were pretty impressive, featuring a new Premier League revenue record of £715m and a substantial £74m profit #MCFC Image
City's revenue slightly increased to £715m, which means that this has risen by more than a third (£180m) in just five years from the 2019 pre-pandemic level of £535m. Growth has been led by commercial, which now accounts for 48% of total income #MCFC Image
Player trading has become increasingly important to City, having made £122m in 2022/23 and £139m in 2023/24. Up until 2019/20 the club had not generated more than £40m, so they have significantly improved this area of their operations #MCFC Image

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

A deep dive into this summer's transfer window, focusing on the Premier League, but also looking at the other major leagues. Image
Chelsea had the highest gross transfer spend in the Premier League for the third year in a row, i.e. ever since the Clearlake Capital crew arrived, with a hefty £265m.

Lowest gross spends were at Manchester City £25m and Liverpool £43m.
#CFC #MCFC #LFC Image
However, Chelsea once again had the highest player sales of £186m, followed by Aston Villa £172m and Manchester City £168m.

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
