Interesting how this tale of finances is ‘spun’ after their “most successful season”
The profit is purely from player sales and compensation for Graham Potter which totalled over £155m
The club as a day-to-day entity loses almost £30m a season in the PL.
Now there is nothing wrong with making sales and a profit that way, it’s how clubs of that size (and ours) exist.
It will also be a significant reason why our owners are so heavily invested.
The PL isn’t a place to make money unless player recruitment is spot on.
Sunderland lost £200m in their PL spell for example. It’s a great place to be until it isn’t! |  | | |

And that’s why people still invest in football clubs. Trouble is most owners at our level sink significant funds into their clubs (think Marcus Evans and the £90M debts he wrote off) but for various reasons never get close to a return on their investment. It’s the very definition of high risk/high reward. I reckon you need to be super rich and willing to lose £100-200M to even think of it. Too many owners aren’t rich enough and end up imposing austerity on their clubs and then it all goes to crap. |  |

Brighton owner had a loan of £400m+ in the club, so he's sunk a fair bit of cash in!! |  |

Nuts isn’t it? He’ll get 1/4 of that back this year but there’s no guarantee he’ll see anything like the same return next. | |

What else is he going to do with his spare £400M?
You can't take it with you when you go!
Whilst the pension fund clearly are looking for a return on an investment, the vast majority of owners of clubs will not view their input as investment likely to give a return. |  |

They’ve said he’ll only get back £30m this year, although he never intended for it to be repaid apparently | | | |

Leicester lost £215m in last 3 years. And that was before relegation.
It’s easy to lose a lot of money in the PL too and you can guarantee as we are owned by investment funds and now 40% by Private Equity, we won’t be losing cash like that. | | | |
