football finance, BANG AVERAGE klaxon

@swissramble has done a lubberly ol' summary today.

He has taken the 44 clubs in the PL & Champ 2019/20 and charted their accounts for a 10-year period.

Here is the City snapshot:

Revenue: 18th highest
Wages: 18th highest
Wage ratio: 30th highest
Profil/Loss: 11th highest
PLayer sales: 16th highest
Operating P/L: 11th highest
Owner financing: 40th

Surprises?
Plucky little Brentford have the WORST wage ratio over the last decade, running at 156% (Forest, Bristol C & Weds get dishonourable mentions).
Villa have the worst losses - around half a billion.
City made more in player sales than Burnley, Leeds & Wolves, but less than Hull.
Arsenal have had less owner financing than Luton.

It's a really interesting set of charts, so go have a look
