I have been trawling the fine print of the new Deloitte Annual Review of Football Finance (so you don’t have to).
Since football fans like league tables, I have used the data to put together 26 top-threes ranking English Premier League clubs according to different financial parameters.
I wouldn’t read too much into them without scrutinising the big picture.
However, Arsenal supporters, starved of real on-field success, may have mixed feelings about the north London club’s top ranking for most cash, biggest net profit from sale of players and biggest pre-tax profit.
