Nine years after their debt-loading buyout, which has cost United around £700m in interest and fees, the club still bears £342m of the Glazers’ borrowings but the income is spectacular.
The obsessive sale of sponsorships, TV and huge stadium income made United £433m, £86m more than the Premier League’s next highest-earning club, City, which has support from Abu Dhabi sponsors.

City’s income dramatically increased in a title-winning season and the loss included Uefa’s £16m deduction under financial fair play rules for the previous two years’ £151m losses. City reduced their wage bill by £28m, mostly due to 125 staff being moved into the accounts of a parent company, City Football Group, which also services Mansour’s New York City, Melbourne City and his minority stake in Yokohama Marinos.

Arsenal’s modern struggle has been to translate copious earnings from high-paying supporters at the Emirates Stadium into football success, and they are making progress. In 2013-4 they salvaged a summer of grumbles by splashing £42.5m for Mesut Özil, a club record-breaking signing. A huge £54m was put in the bank where Arsenal had £208m on deposit. Hence they bought again last summer, with £30m Alexis Sánchez the stand-out move. Debt from building the Emirates remained £240m but Arsenal, as always planned, are managing it comfortably.

Liverpool
-Turnover: £256m (up from £206m in 2013)
-Gate and matchday income £51m
-TV and broadcasting £101m
