Fans to protest over ticket prices

[Brovion]

The collective profit last season for the PL is (according to my chums at Deloitte) about £180 million. This is before the new TV deal kicks in. TV money and commercial deals have meant that PL football is now very attractive to owners.

The Glazers, who are completely odious in so many respects, have probably played a complete blinder in relation to their takeover of Manchester United. They bought the club for £790 million ten years ago, but the adidas kit deal is worth the same sum, Chevrolet have spent another £357 million to have their grotesque insignia on United's shirts, and AON have splashed £160 million on the naming rights for the training ground and training kit. That's BEFORE the TV money and gate receipts are taken into account.

Thanks. So money coming INTO the prem clubs isn't the problem.

Nope, three years ago only 8 out of the 20 PL clubs made a profit, two years ago it was up to 12 clubs, last season's results are not fully published yet, but from Deloitte's comments I would expect a few more to be in the black.
