Having watched Abramovich spending millions as a compensation for a sacked manager and the £100m bid from Manchester City for Kaka, credit crunch doesn't seem to have adverse impact on football clubs. Let's have a look at some analysis on how their financial performance is in the 2007/08 season.
10: Internazionale
Revenue: £136.9m
The revenue reduction was due to the disqualification for the Champions league and sharing the San Siro stadium with AC Milan.
62% of its income was from broadcast.
9: AS Roma
Revenue: £138.9m
The increase was because of the new broadcast and commercial agreements with Kappa and Wind Telecommunications (This contributed £36.7m) and their good performance on the pitch, i.e. winning the Coppa Italia, reaching the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League and finishing second in Serie A (This contributed £22.9m).
8: AC Milan
Revenue: £165.8m
The revenue reduction was owing to their poor perfomance which was finishing fifth in Serie A and failing to qualify for the Champions League and the low matchday revenue of £21.1m although their broadcast revenues was £97m.
7: Liverpool
Revenue: £167m
The increase of revenue was due to the increase of broadcast money to £76.3m as well as the increased commercial revenue to £51.5m from deals with Carlsberg, Paddy Power and Thomas Cook.
6: Arsenal
Revenue: £209.3m
The increase was because of their fairly good perfomance (finishing third in the Premier League, reaching the quarter finals of the UEFA Champions League and the semi-finals of the Carling Cup) which led to an increase in broadcast revenue to £70.4m and the new 60,355 capacity Emirates Stadium which contributed the matchday revenue of £94.6m.
Commercial revenue only accounted for 21% of its total revenue.
5: Chelsea
Revenue: £212.9m
The increased revenue was owing to the increased broadcast revenue of £77.4m and their matchday revenues of 74.5m as well as the commercial deals with Thomas Cook, Samsung, Adidas and Etihad Airways.
4: Bayern Munich
Revenue: £233.8m
The increase was because of the acquisition of the remaining 50% stake of its Allianz Arena home ground previously owned by city neighbours TSV 1860 Munich and the commercial deals with Deutsche Telekom and Adidas which provided £32.5m merchandising revenue.
3: Barcelona
Revenue: £244.4m
The increase was due to the increased broadcasting revenues (£92m) and commercial deals with companies like Nike.
2: Manchester United
Revenue: £257.1m
The increase was owing to their sporting success in the Europe and Premier League which generated the broadcast revenue and the matchday revenues of £101.5m as well as the commercial deals with Nike, Saudi Telecom, Hublot and Budweiser.
1: Real Madrid
Revenue: £289.6m
The increase was because of the commercial deals, the matchday revenues of £80m and the broadcasting rights which was worth £102.1m.

thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Liverpool get much less income than other BIG 3 before. Seems that a new stadium should be built in the near future.
I know, no one should be surprised that Real Madrid is that rich......
You are welcome.
ReplyDeleteWell, Liverpool may even have less revenue in these few years if they go ahead to build a new stadium. But after the new stadium is built, they will receive more income.
Real Madrid may be taken over by Man Utd because of non-Becks effect.
