We are the 7th highest revenue club in England

And that's even before we have enough seats for the casual fan to get a ticket for the match now and then.

When you think about it, that's stunning. Go back even just 5 years and you'd be laughed at for writing a list like that, let alone 9 years, when we were at our lowest point.

Very good to hear, I expect the Champions League participation helped a big deal as well as the number of times we've been on TV during the title defence. I imagine we'll drop in the ratings next time out due to having had no Euro competition this year but we've still been on TV quite a bit and are looking likely we'll finish pretty well in the league this year.

£73 million in prize and tv money from the champions league. Plus all the extra gate money, sponsorship, commercial income etc.
We earned more than most from the Champions league because the other English teams did so badly.

Didn't we earn more than anyone else in the competition or was it just the English clubs we beat?

EDIT - it was second highest:

Still pretty crazy we earned more than Real Madrid who won!
