Clubs in the money

Now that all the Premier League club accounts for last season are available, the authoritative Swiss Ramble blog has been able to make an overall analysis.

Eight clubs made a profit, which is more than I expected, with Swansea City leading the pack at £21m. QPR, who were relegated, made by far the biggest losses.   Arsenal had the biggest cash balances at £153m, followed by Manchester United at £94m.
