Chelsea finances: How English football’s biggest-ever annual loss was recorded

The report does not break down the damage into its components, but there are clues.

UEFA’s figures show Chelsea’s total income is significantly lower than some of their Premier League rivals.

The Blues earned £511 million in revenue, compared to Manchester City’s £746 million and Liverpool’s £744 million.

This difference stems from several key areas.

Chelsea’s revenue from ticket sales was the ninth highest in Europe, but was still £28 million less than Liverpool, one place ahead of them.

Chelsea’s average earnings per matchday were £1.2 million less than Liverpool, who were also one place ahead.

Chelsea’s matchday revenue is limited by the capacity of Stamford Bridge, which holds 41,798, which is 34,000 smaller than Manchester United’s Old Trafford and the 11th largest ground in the Premier League.

The Blues also generated much less commercial revenue than some of their rivals.

They ranked 11th in Europe for trading revenue last year, down £207m – £5m on the previous year.

This means their commercial revenues are £66 million lower than English club Tottenham and £165 million lower than Manchester City, which generates more revenue than anyone else in the Premier League.

Chelsea also generated significantly less revenue from sales and shirt sales than the other five rich Premier League clubs.

They generated £83 million from this revenue stream; There is no improvement compared to the previous year. That’s £46 million less than Spurs and £82 million less than Manchester United.

The only area where Chelsea performed impressively compared to their rivals was broadcast revenue; Participation and victory in the Fifa Club World Cup increased revenue to £192 million, placing them second highest in Europe behind Manchester City.
