Deloitte Money League 08
Finance specialists Deloitte have compiled their fourth annual report on football’s money elite. The 2008 Football Money League holds few surprises, with Real Madrid heading the charts for a third year running, and Manchester united in second, following the completion of another old Trafford expansion project, the Salford club saw it’s match-day profits soar to just under £100million.
Barcelona’s impressive profit margins continue to increase under the stewardship of president Joan Laporta. The Catalan giants rank third in the list, which is again dominated by English teams.
The report makes for depressing reading for those clubs outside of the big hitters, as profits rise exponentially, the gap between the rich and the not-so-rich is expanding year-on-year as the biggest clubs continue to qualify - and profit from - Champions League central broadcasting revenue and sponsorships.
