Last week Deloitte's updated the Football Money League* and the richest clubs in World Football were revealed. It contained a record number of Premiership teams - due in the main to a current three-year TV deal worth around £5.2 billion. With a new deal, estimated to be worth £8 billion, set to boost their income further.
Real Madrid remain top, with Barcelona second, followed by Manchester United in third. Man City are 6th, Arsenal 7th, Chelsea 8th and Liverpool 9th.
Tottenham lie in 12th, Newcastle 17th, Everton 18th and West Ham make the top 20. With Southampton, Aston Villa, Leicester, Sunderland, Swansea, Stoke, Crystal Palace and West Brom all in the top 30. That's every current Premiership club, bar the three teams promoted last season - Bournemouth, Norwich and Watford. No wonder teams are desperate to stay in the division.
Incredible ! The likes of Swansea and Crystal Palace as one of the top richest clubs in the world.
*The list only looks at revenues accrued and does not take into account club debts.
As we get to 15 matches remaining in the Premiership and the month of February - next games are on Feb 2nd - Leicester are still top. They don't look like they are going away and are currently 10 points clear of Man Utd, the best placed team to deny them a Champions League spot. Incredible !
Leicester's final game of the season, away to Chelsea…!
Finally today, no mention of sending offs, penalties, fouls or off-sides. Just a team shirt (right).
