Spanish giants Real Madrid and
Bayern Munich remain in the top
two places in the latest Deloitte
Money League, published on
Thursday.
The top six places in the table
remain unchanged with Real and
Barca followed by Manchester
United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal
and Chelsea. Real have revenues
of £373 million ( €438.6m)
compared with £338.6 million
( €398.1m) at Barca and £297.5
million (€349.8m) at Old Trafford.
Real's revenues are up 9.3%,
Barca by 8.8% and United 7%.
The financial study ranks clubs
purely based upon the revenue
they bring in rather than the
wealth of their owners or profit
and loss from 2009-10 accounts.
The earning-power of the
Premier League means seven of
the 20 clubs are from England.
The big movers are Manchester
City, who entered in 20th place a
year ago but have now shot up
to 11th with revenues of £152.8
million - up 49.5% on 12 months
ago. They look certain to climb
even further if they begin to
enjoy the riches of the Champions
League in future seasons.
AS Roma suffer the biggest drop,
with the Serie A side falling six
places to 18th with a 16%
reduction in revenue. Liverpool
fall one place to eighth with
Spurs up three to 12th.
Vfb Stuttgart and Aston Villa are
new clubs in this year's list.
Juventus (10th) get 65% of their
revenue from broadcasting deals,
compared to Bundesliga side
Hamburg with 23% (10th).
Arsenal enjoy the largest
matchday revenue of 42% as
they reap the rewards of moving
from Highbury to Emirates
Stadium, with Juve bringing in
just 8% from their Stadio Olimpico
games.
Schalke are most reliant on
commercial business as that
brings in 57% of their revenue,
with 20th place Aston Villa just
15%.
