At the end of the 2025-26 season with Southampton, it's time for another annual review of the club's finances.

Achieving a third place in the Premier League, winning the Carabao Cup, and also the UEFA Europa League have seen an improvement in the club's accounts. Prize money rose by 40%, largely thanks to winning the Europa League and the improvement in Premier League finishing position (5th up to 3rd). Yet, oddly match day income and corporate facilities income both fell, despite having more matches at St Mary's.

Another year has come to a close in #FM22 with my Southampton save. Read the thread for a financial update:

Given the qualification to the Champions League achieved in the season prior, there was a growth in gate receipts, season tickets, matchday income, and prize money. Image Given the increase in fixture numbers, with games against Real Madrid, Sporting Lisbon, and Olympique Lyon, this comes as no surprise. The double-digit growth in cash inflow across all of these areas and corporate facilities income helped mitigate the decline in 'other' income.
