Manchester United are the richest club for 2016-17 beating Real Madrid by 1.5 Mn pounds
That is pretty damn impressive considering we didn't even have Champions League and Real actually won the Champions League.

Manchester United have retained their position as world football's top earners just ahead of Real Madrid, according to the latest annual "Money League" report by accountancy firm Deloitte.
United made £581m during the 2016-17 season, pipping Real Madrid to the top spot by just £1.5m, the closest margin in the rich list's 21 years.
In a statement, Deloitte Sports Business Group partner Dan Jones said: "United's ability to retain first position is all the more impressive against the backdrop of the weakened pound against the euro.
"With both Real Madrid and Barcelona forecasting further revenue growth in 2017-18, the battle at the top will likely come down to on-pitch performance again next year.
"With all three clubs through to the round of 16 of the Champions League, it may be as simple as the club that goes furthest in the competition will have the best chance of topping the Money League next year."
