Biggest English Football Clubs Ranked by Annual Turnover - 2004/05 to 2007/08

Note 1: Figures are in £ million. Note jump between 06/07 and 07/08 for Premier League clubs as money  from the new TV contract came online.

Note 2: Manchester United plc was de-listed from stock exchange in 2005 after the Glazer takeover. We have only used the football club's limited company turnover figures in the above table so it is missing certain marketing and ancillary revenues also accruing to the club. Deloitte had this figure at £166.4 million for 2004/05 and in January 2008 the club announced turnover at £245m. So total turnover at United is approx £60m larger than we are showing. Similarly, Deloitte estimated Chelsea's total turnover in 04/05 at £149.1 million - approx £40m more than we show.
