bcfc seattle Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 where the New York Yankees head the list with an income equivalent of £162.7m. The Yankees Payroll is almost that much pushing $200 million on player salaries alone. They also hide money well by having their own TV network. Not saying they are bigger than ManUre but they might be underestimating the turnover there. Not to mention they have a marketing deal with ManUre, stupid rich clubs getting richer.

Bristol Boy Posted March 4, 2004 Author Share Posted March 4, 2004 leeds united 16th richest in the world are you having a laugh! i thought they were suspose to be 80 million pounds in the red This is based on income, not debt. For example, someone like Sky Sports-Murdoch-could have an income of £1bn and debts of £2bn. Simple business fact is that debt is fine providing it's affordable managed.That eluded Mr Risdale and that's why Leeds are on the brink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
