10th Richest Club in the World

[AFII]

How are Chelsea and Arsenal ahead of us????

Taking into account whats used to calculate the wealth (i.e. not transfer funds but merchandise, sales and revenue). Its worrying if the Chavs have already overtaken us on these terms, and Arsenal....

Chelsea have much better sponsorship deals and they won the league last season.

Arsenal have a bigger stadium than us and they played in the CL final.

i would have thought that has more to do with the outragous london ticket prices more than anything else.

Chelsea capacity 40,000 x average @ £60 (complete guess!!) is 1.2million more revenue per home game

I hope they "whore" it here in Atlanta so I can buy it without spending $25.00 in shipping for a t-shirt.

I went to Liverpool to buy it meself. I spent €1 for a plane ticket from Treviso (Italy), I'm from Ljubljana (Slovenija) and spent a couple of pounds for tickets v. Pompey, about 50 pounds for beers and the rest was for shirts, scarves, Arctic Monkeys t-shirts etc.

All this accounting stuffs is sooo confusing !! Does that mean that we've managed to bring in income from sales for £ 121 Million ? Not bad for a club which isn't maximizing it's potential.

Maybe Rocket can do something useful for once and explain the finer points...

Here you go (from 2005 accounts). I wouldn't be surprised if the 2006 accounts (due out around June?) showed an increase reflecting the revenue from CL win feeding through

ROW figures are very shocking. How do other clubs compare? The global Liverpool "brand" has got to be much stronger than Arsenal & chelsea's.

Well if you're going to be flippant...

I was merely trying to start a conversation after your borderline-autistic number obsession brought the thread crashing to a halt.

P.S. Why are the MASSIVE "people's club" not on the list 0

Imagine where we'll be in the list when these Yanks start whoring the Liverpool 'brand' around the world and start developing some marketing nouse.

Or have we underestimated how well our merchandise has sold?

The whole things a bit misleading. It's not who's richest, but who had the most income in one year. Doesn't taken account of Chelsea's £480 losses and Man U's even greater debts

It's a reasonable indication of what they can afford etc. though.
