Financial track record of Premiership clubs

Leading football journalist David Conn has provided an analysis of the accounts of Premier League clubs for 2015-16. Manchester United come out top with revenues of £515m and a profit of £49m.

The two years extension to Arsene Wenger’s contract has received a rather unenthusiastic response from the club’s fans and Conn suggests that any under performance is within Wenger’s football operation. Football journalists in general seem to be rather critical of Wenger.
