Bizarre situation at Manchester United! Income grow but also debts
The executive director of the club, Omar Berrada, said that record income in such a difficult year demonstrates the resistance of the Manchester United brand. He added that Manchester United builds long -term, without specifically mentioning the team's performance, as for Sportal.bg.
The financial report shows that, for the past financial year, the “red devils” registered total losses of 33 million pounds, a significantly smaller amount than in the previous year, when they were up to 113.2 million. The club has announced that it remains within the limits of Fair Play of Premier League and UEFA.
In the last two years, the club has reduced its number of employees from 1100 to 700, which has attracted criticisms, because people who worked at the club have been fired. Total salaries were reduced by 51.5 million pounds. Manchester United had to pay compensation totaling 36.6 million pounds to former coach Erik Ten Hag, interim coach Ruud Van Nistelooy and technical director Dan Ashworth.
The estimated revenues for the next financial year are similar to those of the previous year: between 640 and 660 million pounds. They also consider the lack of income from television rights for European matches, because the team will not participate in European competitions.
Against the background of the optimistic vision of the current leadership, there are still a few questions. The club's debt continues to grow. Manchester United owes another $ 650 million – a debt added in 2005, when the Glazer family became owner. In addition, current debts increased to 165.1 million pounds, compared to 35.6 million a year ago.
In addition, the “red devils” have to pay considerable amounts for the transfers made this summer, because most of the transactions have been paid in installments. The club brought Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and Senne Lamens for a total amount of 156.8 million pounds. The transfer of Matheus Cunha was registered for the previous financial year.
