Revenue growth for Top 6 Premier League teams over the past decade
- Thread starter Damien
- Start date
City - 512%!
Arsenal the only club with a sub 100% growth over the last 10 years. How the hell can they let Spurs match them commercially & outperform them on broadcast rights?
Nearly fell off my chair when I saw that one.City - 512%!
We still outdo City on the commercial front despite their fixing.
Cooking the books tends to produce results like that for a company.
City dope so that's an easy discussion.
Arsenal are the real disgrace.
Arsenal are the real disgrace.
1048% commercial revenue increase for City.
Preposterous.
Preposterous.
Excluding City's financial doping, it's good to see that with a 230% increase Spurs have recorded the biggest growth amongst the top 6 by some margin.
I'd expect this to be maintained now that our new stadium is open for business. Surpassing Arsenal's total income is in our sights now, with Chelsea and then Liverpool being the next benchmarks to reach for.
Something has to be done about City tho'.

Hopefully you can add the top commercial revenue trophy to that new cabinet of yours.
It's not hard to 10X when you start from nothing.
Arab crooks.
Seriously. City's results aren't surprising at all, but to see Arsenal perform so poorly on the economic side of things is just... What? How? They're still the third biggest club in the country, have a huge international fanbase, and make more money on a match day than any other club in the world. How the hell are they doing so poorly
And some city fans and their apologists will still pretend that they're somehow fair and anybody who doesn't like them is simply jealous of their success.
They're an ugly joke. They make a mockery of the idea of fair competition, they are the embodiment of everything wrong with modern football.
Crooked, corrupt, false, soulless scumbags who deserve zero credit or recognition for their so called 'success' which is purely down to them buying the best of everything two times over with money they never earned.
If anything was remotely fair that club would be thrown in to the lower leagues, their disgusting owners banned from entering the country, and anything they've ever won written off entirely.
Even despite my hatred of Liverpool I almost want them to win it because at least they're a legitimate club with legitimate revenue who haven't cheated their way up.
Feel sick saying that, thanks City you shit stain on the football world.

As it is a percentage, the scale of that growth is underpinned by how relatively tiny “starting” revenue was. Of that increase over 160m has come from broadcasting rights increases. Something Spurs have little control over. And a number which is greater than their entire revenue number for the starting point of this comparison. They still have the smallest revenue of anyone on this list, although now appear to be competing fairly evenly with Arsenal. Which is both a decent achievement, and also reflect the underperforming of Arsenal as a business model.
The struggle for Spurs will be the over 600m of debt extended by Merril Lynch, and due to be converted into bonds. Which are going to cost 40-50m a season to service, without even being paid down. That will take a bite out of the transfer kitty.
Totally organic growth. No book cooking or cheating involved.City - 512%!
One of those is not legit.
Gazidis was shit at his job.Seriously. City's results aren't surprising at all, but to see Arsenal perform so poorly on the economic side of things is just... What? How?

Maybe our growth is cause we win trophies while you pull a Spurs season after season. 512% because of trophies, 230% is not bad for shitting your pants everytime a big game comes up.
And why do you win trophies? Because you've had a billion + pumped by Arabs into your club. If Saudi Arabia tomorrow decided to buy United and gave us an unlimited budget, we'd win loads of trophies too. Why do PSG have Neymar and Mbappe? Unlimited money. Well done.
That's pretty much the reason why I want Liverpool to win the league, they've outclassed you in head to heads over the last 2 seasons (CL especially), and they've done it naturally. If we had SAF we'd still be up there challenging, but unfortunately we don't. You don't need SAF, you can have Pep, Pellegrini or Bob the builder in charge and you'd still win trophies because your owners wipe their asses with the £250m they give to City to spend in a summer.
Squishy's right, the biggest joke in football is that people laugh at Spurs for building a very good team naturally but not winning anything, but laud a financially-doped stain of a club who win solely because they can buy as many players as they want until they win.
This!
Hear, hear!!
Oh wow yeah that's so impressive. You won trophies after spending over a billion?
How many big games did City win before you sold your souls?
Also, if you genuinely believe all that revenue growth is totally legitimate, you're utterly delusional.
How City earn that much?
Legally i mean...

That’s more or less the ratio of glory hunter fans to their real fans too. I’m curious about how many fans City had before and after Arabs. If you find the numbers from somewhere, I’m sure the ratio of the “fans” who started to support them in the last 10 years to the real ones would be the same.
Was about to use that exact phrase. No way are they a bigger commercial entity than any of the other top 6 clubs barring the possibility of Spurs in terms of how many people are actually interested in them and therefore how much commercial cash they'd command. Yet there they are sitting above Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal with a relatively tiny number of people who actually care about them thanks to their fake sponsorship deals.
I don't really understand the movements on matchday income. Why have United and Arse hardly changed, but the others increased so much?
United's season ticket prices have been frozen for a number of years. Possible reason?
Also includes match day hospitality packages. Prices can be arbitrarily fixed and we all know what the value for the ones city ‘sells’ are
What about Liverpool and Spurs? They have always filled their stadiums, have the prices doubled?
Great being a liverpool fan? 10 years for 1 trophy and a 100% increase in ticket price.
not even you can really believe that.https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...lays-Premier-League-season-ticket-prices.html
According to the mail article, the price range for a Liverpool season ticket in 2008-09 was £650-£750.

The price range for this season was £685-£869.
Just makes my query all the more valid.
Capacity increase for us, & more of the posh boxes.
If Arsenal partnered up with AFTV and got Robbie on board, they'd outdo City.
Still a big increase.
I guess you have had CL recently and gone deep into the competition. It's only a snapshot in a particular year.
Possibly explains United and Arsenal apparently stagnating.
Not sure about Spurs but the Scousers got a stadium expansion.
They expanded their stadium last year
That City achievement is amazing when you consider they have no fans outside of Stockport. Hopefully UEFA and the Premier League do the right thing concerning these con artists.
