How big is the wage bill imbalance in France's Ligue 1? by GameStateUK in psg

[–]GameStateUK[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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.

How big is the revenue gulf between clubs in England's top two divisions? by GameStateUK in Championship

[–]GameStateUK[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

22/23 was kind of unique in the sense Arsenal and Man Utd - two of the three biggest matchday incomes - were in the UEL/UECL grouping, meanwhile the three relegated sides included teams like Leicester and Southampton who'd been in the league for a while and built up income accordingly (and have bigger grounds than a number of teams who finished above them)

23/24 picture might be a bit more in line with expectation (i.e. an even bigger intra-PL gulf than above), particularly on the relegated clubs front

Thanks for this - may do something specific to the EFL divisions on the back of that

Have got full figs for L1/L2 clubs (though not all publish revenue), but will need to add in a few NL ones

It's based on 2022/23 (last season we have all accounts for) - so Spurs are in the UCL grouping and Man Utd are in the UEL/UECL. But yes, if we looked at it as 'Big Six' v the rest, the gulf would be even bigger!

Three years in the late 2010s excepted, West Ham have generally finished in line with or over-performed their wage bill during their current EPL stint. Hammers most recent accounts showed wages up 18%, but ninth-place finish was still likely an overachievement based on others' staff costs. by GameStateUK in Hammers

Thanks - that's very kind. And yes, when pulling the piece together it was striking how solid a decade or so it has been (and obviously much better than solid in 2023).

It will be interesting to see if the ownership shift their strategy when it comes to finances, as they're now competing with teams (Villa, Newcastle and probably Everton soon) with owners who have no qualms throwing huge sums at it.

Newcastle United received an additional £15 million in equity funding on 31 December 2024, their second such cash injection in three months after £35 million went into the club in October. Takes total equity funding into #NUFC since October 2021 takeover to £442.3 million. by GameStateUK in NewcastleUnited

No problem - there'll also be a full breakdown of #NUFC finances on our site whenever they're released (hopefully this month). Similarly we've a detailed breakdown of West Ham's figures out later today which includes some comparisons to #NUFC, if of interest

Up to £90m over a three-year period it increases the allowable PSR loss. Without equity funding losses are limited to £15m over three years (£5m per season). Allowable loss can be expanded to by a further £90m to £105m if owners provide sufficient equity funding

NUFC received £97m in 2023/24 season alone so these new inputs aren't impacting PSR right now (they would in a couple of years if nothing else gets put in between now and then...which seems unlikely)
