Note 1: Figures are in £ million

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 have this figure at £166.4 million for 2004/05. Similarly, Deloitte estimated Chelsea's total turnover that year at £149.1 million.
