Jimbo 133 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 MANCHESTER UNITED have fallen from second to fourth richest club in the world. Spanish giants Real Madrid hold on to top spot with a revenue of £192million, while fierce rivals Barcelona (£171m) move up four places to second. But the Deloitte Football Money League considers the Premiership the richest league in the world. Eight English clubs make the top 20 with United — who are now owned by Malcolm Glazer and his family — still the top club. United (£167m) are joined by Chelsea (sixth), Arsenal (ninth), Liverpool (10th), Newcastle (13th), Spurs (15th), Manchester City (17th) and West Ham (19th). Deloitte director Paul Rawnsley expects United to bounce back for next season. He said: “United may be in fourth position this year but with the completion of their stadium development, we can expect them to move back up the list in 2006-07.” Deloitte base their figures on financial statements from the 2005-06 season.

sammynb 2934 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 When dealing with facts and figures as provided by any of the big four there is just one word to remember: Enron. (By the way I can hear the 5th best arguement being strengthened in someone's mind!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc-mag 1 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Means very little these league tables I reckon. Manchester United referred to there as 'United' I see in a non-regional press release. Just for a change. Usual bias at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fop 1 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Actually that's higher than I thought we'd be, although it's all a bit relative with our league I think. Still mid-90's we were much higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthumbrian 0 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Being in the top 20 with West Ham and Man City puts things in perspective. If they had a league for clubs in debt I wonder where we would be then. By the way they reckon next season the top 5 will be English teams because of the new TV deal, might be connected to the sudden love of the game in this country from foreign investors.
