20 (17) Newcastle United - 101.0 million
(numbers based on 2008/2009 season)
7 English teams, 5 German teams, 4 Italian teams, 2 Spanish teams, 2 French teams
As expected, the English clubs dominate this list. I am surprised to see Arsenal pulls in a ton of revenue, yet runs the cheapest front office in all of Britain. Check the Championship's first place Newcastle bringing in just over 100 million Euros. Manchester City made a jump on to the list this year.
A lot of these teams are in debt...Sure Madrid has made over 400 million Euros in revenue, but how much do they owe their credit line at Santander Bank?
Inter and AC Milan must have some kind of 50/50 deal going on in the fashion capital with exactly the same revenues.
Surprisingly looks like there is a lot of money to be made in Germany. Must be why I see these Jack Wolfskin ads all over the the Volkswagen and Mercedes-Benz Arenas. Werder Bremen also sneaks its way onto the list with 114 million in revenues.
