West Ham and Soton in the top 20?
Okay, Soton get an additional annual income from Liverpool but how are West Ham in it?!
Broadcast revenue mainly I guess. Large stadium too.
Be interesting to see what the new TV deal looks like (announcement in the next few weeks I think)
The way things are going, PL clubs will make up 15 or 16 of the top 20 in 6 years' time
Not forgetting the 17 mill we are paying to rent Wembley. Makes a bit of a dentShould hit £400m this season with Wembley gates and CL run Nike deal new shirt sponsor deal. Will certainly be a bumper year. Probably enough to cushion a season out of CL worst case scenario.

Our commercial revenue is about 70m and Bayern Munich has commercial revenue of almost 300m
How is there such a massive difference?
I know there a pretty big club but bloody hell that is some difference!
Cheers for that
So Munich’s huge commercial revenue is due in large part to:
'Long standing investment agreements'
Whatever the fuck that is!?!?
True, but if it can get us up to Arsenal's area in match day revenue (which is the most obvious comparison), that's an extra £60m that could be spent on wages which actually is the thing that could "propel us further".Don't know why it's called "the richest clubs", since it's really only about the highest revenue. However, interesting that Chelsea and Liverpool has double our commercial revenue. United fetches almost our entire revenue in commercial revenue alone.
Clearly, it's not the match day capacity of the new stadium that will propel us further. Even with the new stadium, it's highly likely that we will still be the 6th PL club in terms of revenue.

Bayern Munich ARE Germany, the most influential and successful footballing nation in Europe. They’re effectively Barca/Real rolled into one.
They’ve won the Bundesliga the last five years running, German cup 3 out of 5 (losing in final other two times), CL once in last five with 3 semi finals and a quarter final (they’ve made at least the knockout stage 9 out of the last 10 years, getting to Europa semi the one they didn’t).
They get first dibs on all the good German talent every year. They play to a 75k capacity now, have played to at least 66k for 50 years straight. Historically they’ve won the European Cup 5 times, the league 27 times and the German cup 18 times. Tourists literally buy Bayern shirts as mementos of going to Germany, let alone Munich.
We’re the 6th biggest club in England, getting 6th dibs on the best English talent. We’ve won the league twice, ever, and the last time was in black and white. We’ve won the cup 8 times but the last time was nearly 30 years ago. We’ve never won the European Cup and consider just qualifying a huge success. Our capacity till recently was 36k and had been for best part of 25 years, Tourists buy Utd shirts as mementos of going to England, and Arsenal/Chelsea shirts of going to London.
Let’s be honest, it’s only the ridiculous TV deal that puts us anywhere vaguely near them. They are a superclub
Pretty depressing when you put it like that but absolutely bang on the money.
