Premier League Club accounts: MAN UTD, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Tottenham and Everton Rating | Football news

Many Premier League clubs have recently published their annual accounts.

Aston Villa announced that they had passed a loss of £ 85.4 million, Everton issued a loss of 53.2 million GBP, Tottenham loss of £ 26.2 million and Chelsea rare profit of £ 128.4 million. But what do these data mean about the rules of profit and sustainability of the Premier League (PSR) and which clubs are in the healthiest financial position to spend large in the summer transmission window?

Sky Sports News Senior reporter Rob Dorsett crushed the numbers.

Which clubs are exposed to the risk of violating PSR rules and facing points deduction?

The truth is that we do not know, but it seems unlikely that any clubs are facing punishment this season. Each club is allowed to lose 105 million GBPs during the three -year period, and all those clubs that were exposed to the greatest risk of violating this Mark were submitted by the PSR accounts by the end of December. The identity of these clubs is kept secret. This rule was introduced in 2023 to try to ensure that there is enough time for any club that breaks the rules to give points in the same season.

The Premier League announced in January that all the clubs that presented their PSR accounts in December were in line. However, the remaining clubs had to carry out their submission of PSR until 31, and therefore their data are now checked by the Premier League auditors. It may seem unlikely that any club would consider the “not risk” of violations at Christmas, now excessively performing a sign of expenditure, but it is possible.

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

That’s a key question. It is absolutely understandable that fans will see how their club will publish their annual accounts and will be confused by why – despite some huge losses – the PSR rules are not violated. Take a look at Aston Villa. Over the past three years, they have lost 204.7 million GBP and yet – as we have already set – they can lose only a maximum of 105 million GBP to prevent PSR rules. It is important that there are many expenditures that are exempt from PSR expenses. Any money that the club spends on the facility or infrastructure, their female team, community, academy and depreciation is not included in the calculation of PSR. There is no proposal of a villa that violated the financial rules, so we can assume that they have had to spend at least 99.7 million GBP in these “supplements” over the last three years. As an example, Villa’s public accounts stipulate that they have spent 29.7 million GBP for the last two years to reconstruct the stadium and the new retail – all of this money is exempted from PSR because it is considered to be generally in the wider interest of the club and football. The financial accounts that the club publishes every year via House House House is very different from the PSR confidential accounts, which are seen only by Premier League officials.

Manchester United has noticed more losses than any other PL club, according to their accounts. How can a massive new stadium plan to build?

Here we have to distinguish between the club’s accounts (companies) that are published and PSR accounts that are secretly stored. The latest United accounts, issued in September, show that they have lost over a quarter of a billion in the last three years. The 257.4 million GBP deficit since 2021. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has recognized that this is a big problem and is unsustainable, and starts to check the costs of entire clubs, which is expected to save up to £ 35 million over the next two years. This included hundreds of job losses and controversially included an increase in ticket prices to increase the income that were convicted of groups of supporters. Repeated insufficient performances on the pitch starved the funding club, in what became a vicious circle. However, if the owners are satisfied with the huge cost of 2 billion GBP “New Traffic”, it will not have any impact on their PSR situation, because – again – infrastructure expenses are exempted from these rules. If United continues its plans for the stadium, public accounts are expected to show a large deficit for many more years, with the hope that improved capacity, facilities and business opportunities will pay dividends in the long run.

Mikel Artta said it would be for Arsenal on the “Great Summer” transfer market. Does their financial situation allow this?

In short, yes. Arsenal was cautious in his expenditure and was smart in his commerciality, showing only a modest loss of £ 17.7 million to their latest public accounts published in February. This, combined with record incomes of 616.6 million GBP in Emirates until the summer of 2024, means that there is a significant war chest to strengthen Artete’s destruction – and promises to do that. “We are very excited about it,” he says with a good reason. The new sports director Andrea Berta was brought specifically for the purpose of major shops, with the center of the forward, wing and midfielder on the list of wanted. It is now realistic that Arsenal will consider the elite talent of Alexandra Isak in Newcastle, Benjamin Sesko in RB Leipzig and Sporting’s Viktor Gytores, with athletic Bilba Nico Williams, who assumed he was reportedly closed. The comfortable blanket in terms of their PSR account gives Arsenal influence to spend a large in the next window, and mount the renewed pressure on the Premier League title.

Liverpool was the dominant team PL this season – what do their finances look like?

The election of the Premier League masters are in good shape on and off the pitch – with more than £ 150 million if they can raise the trophy. Their public accounts show that they are conveniently within the PSR limits (with relatively small losses less than 2 million GBP during the first two years of the three -year cycle). This would suggest that the Arne slot could have a healthy budget to strengthen their team in the summer if he and the club decide to be necessary.

Chelsea recorded a lot of profit until the end of the financial year 2024. How?

The biggest factor was the sale of the women’s team Chelsea the parent company of the Blueco club, which joined only $ 200 million. Such one -off trades are permitted according to the Premier League rules if they are carried out as a “real market value”. This changed what would be a deficiency of 71.6 million GBP to rare profit of £ 128.4 million in the last financial year and means that their balance sheet now looks much healthier. This could mean that this might mean that Chelsea has flexibility to invest in the team this summer if club bosses feel that this is the way they want to go.

Man City stands alone in recording three consecutive years of the club’s profit. How did they handle it?

In fact, Manchester City has now recorded a profit since 2014–2015, with the exception of the campaign raised by 2019–2020 COVID. This is extraordinary compared to their competitors. Of course, they enjoyed unprecedented success on the pitch under Pep Guardiola, as a result with huge rewards – recorded income from the Premier League of £ 715 million by 2024. Of course, the city is waiting for the outcome of the outstanding 100+ accusations that PL selected against them for historical violations of financial rules – accusations that the city vehemently denies.

Tottenham had some big losses in recent years – should they be afraid?

It is true that Tottenham’s club accounts show that they have lost over £ 160 million over the last three years, but again – there is no suggestion that they are close to PSR violations. They have huge property at the most modern Tottenham Hotspur stadium, which was a stunning 1.2 billion GBP in 2019. Their incomes were more than £ 50 million this year, and this will be concerned that their money from the prizes will be another hit for the future, with team 14. Of course, they are still in the European League hunting and can still qualify for the Champions League next season by winning this tournament.

What about Everton? In the past, they faced deduction of points for violating the rules of PSR. What is their situation?

Again, it is important to emphasize that there is no proposal that Everton is at risk of violations. Their public accounts, published on Monday, show a very significant loss of £ 180.4 million in three years until May 2024, but we know that a large number of these expenditures were in relation to building their new stadium in Bramley-Moor Dock, which has an estimated cost of 750 million GBP. According to the rules, these expenses are again exempt from PSR, because it is for the improvement of the club and the game and is not designed to give Everton an unfair advantage on the pitch.
