Real head rich list

Seven Premier League clubs in top 20

Last updated: 12th February 2009



Real Madrid remained at the head of football's richest list beating Manchester United to top spot.

Accounting firm Deloitte produce an annual list of turnover in football and Madrid are again on top of the pile, although the strength of the Euro against Sterling is the main reason they stayed ahead of European champions United.

The list sees seven Premier League clubs included, whilst Scottish giants Celtic drop out of top 20 along with Valencia and Werder Bremen.

"If the exchange rate value of the pound had not depreciated, there would have been nine, rather than seven English clubs in the top 20 and Manchester United would have topped the Money League ahead of Real Madrid," said Dan Jones, partner in the Sports business group at Deloitte.

Real saw their revenues rise by four per cent to £328million, whilst United saw their turnover up 21 per cent to £291million.

The list, which was completely made up of European clubs, with England leading the way with their seven. Germany and Italy have four each, whilst there are just two from Spain and France.

Turkey's Fenerbahce also make the top 20 for the first time.

I didnt know Roma were that rich, i thought Milan and pukey face were dominating in Italy.
That list is the club's turnover, not how much money they have.

Fact is, the company that owns Roma is massively in debt and Inter have Moratti. That is where the difference in their spending power comes from.

Same thing for Liverpool. They've got a huge debt.

Inch'Allah is what I always say. And then I tend to cry Allah Akbar 23 times or so. Makes me feel pretty damn good about myself.

Even as "champions" of Italy, and with CL, the difference between us and Inter is only €5.4m. Were going to rise next season, and once the stadium is done, rise even more.
