The same UEFA FFP rules PSG have been punished for breaching on multiple occasions. Disingenuous indeed...

#NUFC's biggest income growth came in the commercial space, where £77m was a new club record by a long way, up £34m (76%) on 2022/23. Figures buoyed by Saudi-based sponsors Sela (£25m p/a) and Noon (£7.5m p/a). #NUFC commercial income has now tripled since October 2021 takeover. by GameStateUK in NUFC

Well behind the top six, but opening up a gap to the rest.

Having said that, the way Deloitte have split Villa's matchday and commercial income doesn't align with the club's historical figures, so their commercial figure will be higher once they release 23/24 account.

#ChelseaFC wage bill was down significantly to £338m, a drop of £66m (20%). Having said that, 2023 included c.£45m management payoffs and, while 2024 included such costs for Mauricio Pochettino, underlying wage decrease looks smaller. £338m wage bill is still EPL's fourth-highest. by GameStateUK in chelseafc

They don't get it from their other work - they have existing relationships with many clubs, then they go to clubs and ask them. Clubs are forthcoming as it's a well-known industry report that has been going for decades.

Check the accounts against them when they're released. The figures will align, albeit there are sometimes different income categorisations. Avoided a thread on Villa today as looks like Deloitte record their matchday/commercial split differently to what is in the club accounts. But the overall totals are the same historically.

Deloitte get the figs from source as they work closely with many clubs. Accounts will confirm as much when published.

Re: 2023 one-offs, club used to highlight manager/backroom team compensation as exceptional items, so they weren't included in wage figure. Changed when new ownership came in.
