With the English Premier League season just days away international gaming company TonyBet.com is pleased to release their ‘The Economics of the Premier League’ infographic.
Some of the comparisons are stark. For example:
- The clubs’ total revenue in 2013/2014 season was £3.26 billion – just a little more than Malta’s whole budget in 2013 (£3.11 billion);
- Manchester United’s yearly revenue in 2013/14 (£433 million) was about as much as the budget of San Marino in 2013 (£429 million);
- In season 2013/14, London Arsenal’s yearly revenue (£304 million) equals Lithuania’s defence budget in 2015 (£302 million);
- Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur revenue (£181 million) is the same as Latvia’s defence budget in 2015 (£181 million);
- A. F. C. Bournemouth’s revenue in the season of 2013/14 (£10.1 million) was more than 3 times bigger than the revenue of every Estonian football club playing in their best league during the same season (~£2.9 million);
- London Arsenal club is currently estimated as being more valuable than Bank of Scotland (£836 million vs £825 million).
