Premier League club accounts: Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham and Everton assessed | Football News happymamay

A number of Premier League clubs recently published their annual accounts.

Aston Villa announced that it had a loss of 85.4 million pounds, and Everton published a loss of 53.2 million pounds, Tottenham, a loss of 26.2 million pounds, and Chelsea, a rare profit of 128.4 million pounds. But what do these numbers mean regarding the rules of profit and sustainability in the English Premier League (PSR), and which clubs are in a more healthy financial position for significant spending in the transfer window for this summer?

Sky Sports News The first correspondent Rob Dorsette obscured the numbers.

What clubs are at risk of violating PSR rules, facing points deduction?

The truth is that we do not know, but it seems unlikely to face any clubs for this season. Each club is allowed to lose 105 million pounds over a period of three years, and all of those clubs that were at risk of violation more than that under the league rules to provide their PSR accounts early, by the end of December. The identities of these clubs are confidential. This rule was introduced in 2023 to try to ensure that there is enough time for any club that breaks the rules to get points in the same season.

The Premier League announced in January that all clubs that provided their PSR accounts in December were compatible. However, the remaining clubs had to submit PSR requests by March 31, and thus all their numbers are examined by the Premier League auditors at the present time. It may seem unlikely that any club is considered “not at risk” to breach of Christmas has led to the mobing of spending now, but this is possible.

What is the difference between the club’s accounts that we see and the PSR accounts that are sent PL?

This is the main question. It is completely understood that the fans see that their club spreads their annual accounts and to be confused about the reason – despite some huge losses – they do not outperform the PSR rules. Look at Aston Villa, for example. They lost 204.7 million pounds during the past three years, however – as we have already created – are only allowed to lose 105 million pounds as a maximum to avoid the breach of PSR rules. It is important, there are a lot of expenses listed in the company’s accounts that are exempt from PSR spending. Any money that the club spends on installations or infrastructure, and its women’s team, society, academy and depreciation is not included in the PSR account. There is no suggestion that has violated the villa of financial rules, and therefore we can assume that they must have spent at least 99.7 million pounds over the past three years on these “additions”. For example, the public Villa accounts stipulate that they spent 29.7 million pounds to renew the stadium and a new retail store in the past two years – all of these funds are exempt from PSR because they are considered in the interest of the club and football in general. The financial accounts that the club in the public through the home companies every year differ from the secret PSR accounts, which the Premier League officials only see.

Manchester United recorded greater losses than any other PL club, according to their accounts. How can they bear the huge new stadium planning for construction?

This is where we have to distinguish again between the club’s (company) accounts that have been publicly published, and the PSR accounts that are secretly presented. The last United accounts, which were released in September, show that it has lost more than a quarter of a billion pounds in the past three years. A deficit of 257.4 million pounds since 2021. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has admitted that it is a big and unbearable problem, and it is proceeding with a comprehensive review at the club level, which is expected to provide up to 35 million pounds during the next two years. This included hundreds of job losses, and it included a controversial rise in ticket prices to enhance revenues, which were condemned by the supporters of supporters. Repeated performance on the field was hunted in the financing club, while it became a vicious circle. However, if the owners are satisfied with the costs of “New Trafford” at a value of 2 billion pounds, it will have no effect on their PSR mode, because – again – the infrastructure spending exempt from these rules. If United continues their stadium plans, it is expected that public accounts will appear a major deficit for many years to come, hoping that the improved capacity, facilities and commercial opportunities will pay for long -term profits.

Mikel Artita said it would be “a great summer” for Arsenal in the transportation market. Does their financial situation make this possible?

In short, yes he does. Arsenal was wise in their spending, and was interested in their commercial, which indicates only a modest loss of 17.7 million pounds in their latest public accounts that were published in February. This, in addition to record revenues of 616.6 million pounds in the UAE until the summer of 2024, means that there is a great war box at the disposal of Arteta to strengthen his team – and it is considered exactly that. “We are very excited about it,” he says, for a good reason. The new sports director Andrea berta was specially brought to make prominent deals to occur, with an attacker in the center, a wing and average in the required list. It is now realistic for Arsenal to consider the elite talent in Alexander Isac in Newcastle, Benjamin Cisco at RB Leipzig and VikTor Gyokeres from Sporting, with his position at a disgusting distance from Niko Williams from athlete before he is supposed to have a real goal. Its PSR account is given to Arsenal to have a large spending in the next window, and to install a renewed batch for the Premier League title.

Liverpool was the dominant PL team this season – how did their money look?

The Premier League champions are in good condition on and outside the stadium – with more than 150 million pounds because of their way if they can raise the cup. Their general accounts show that they are comfortably within the PSR borders (with relatively small losses less than millions of pounds during the first two years of the session for a period of three years). This may indicate that Slot Arne can give a healthy budget to strengthen his team in the summer if he and the club decide to be necessary.

Chelsea recorded a great profit until the end of the fiscal year 2024. How is that?

The largest individual factor was the sale of the Chelsea Women’s team to the club’s parent company, Blueco, which recorded less than 200 million pounds. Such deals are allowed once under the Premier League rules, as long as they are made in the “fair market value”. This has turned into what could have been a deficit of 71.6 million pounds to a rare profit of 128.4 million pounds for the last fiscal year, and it does that its public budget seems healthier. This may mean that Chelsea has flexibility in investing in the team this summer, if the club presidents feel that this is the way they want to go.

Man City is independent in registering three consecutive years of club profit. How did they manage it?

In fact, Manchester City has now registered a profit every season since 2014-15, with the exception of the 2019-20 campaign that Covid affects. This is unusual, compared to their competitors. Of course, they achieved unprecedented success on the field under Pep Guardiola, with huge rewards as a result – they set record revenues in the English Premier League worth 715 million pounds to 2024. In theory, they give them a great spending option for players in the summer, without fear of PSR rules. However, the city, of course, is awaiting the outcome of the distinguished 100+ charge imposed by PL against them because of the historical violations of the financial rules – allegations that the city strongly denies.

Tottenham had to strengthen some great losses in recent years – should they be worried?

It is true that Tottenham club accounts show that they have lost more than 160 million pounds in the past three years, but again – there is no suggestion that they are close to PSR breach. They have a huge balance at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which cost them amazing 1.2 billion pounds in 2019. Their revenues were more than 50 million pounds this year through the loss of European football, and there will be concern that their money in its prizes will receive another blow to move forward, with the fourteenth team in the Premier League. Of course, they are still chasing the European League, and they can still qualify for the Champions League next season by winning that tournament.

What about Everton? They have faced points deduction in the past to violate PSR rules. What is their situation?

Again, it is important to point out that there is no suggestion of the Everton exhibition at risk of breach. Their general accounts, which were released on Monday, show a significant loss of 180.4 million pounds over the three years until May 2024, but we know a great deal of this spending regarding building their new stadium in Bramley-Mor Dock, which is estimated at 750 million pounds. Again, under the rules, this spending is exempt from PSR because in order to improve the club and the game and is not designed to give Everton an unfair advantage on the field.
