In stark contrast to the poor financial results from QPR reported below, Burnley recorded a record profit of £30.1m in the financial year to June 2015.   Only Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United had a bigger profit in the Premier League.

The profit contrasts with a £7.6m loss in the preceding season.   Turnover was just under £79m.  The club has paid off all loans and invested £10m in the Gartmore training ground.   Work is also being undertaken at Turf Moor.

The club’s claim that it is a role model of how to run a club in a modern era is well justified.   All this is achieved in a not particularly highly populated or prosperous area.
