The Deloitte Football Money League, the most authoritative guide to where the money goes, shows Barclays Premier League clubs making a mass assault on the top 20 in the rich list.
As of June 2007, Real Madrid head the Money League for the third year in succession after a 20 per cent growth in income to €351 million (about £260 million), but Manchester United are an increasingly close second to make up a vanguard of six English clubs – along with Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United – who make up the single biggest national representation among the top 20.
Arsenal is actually number 5 on the list with a total revenue of $263.9m pounds. All thanks to our new stadium, prudent spending and great foresight.
