Today Deloitte released the finance review of football and I thought I would put together the headline stats for the Premier Leagues big teams. The review was based on accounts ending in 2012 so are in effect up to the end of last season.
Arsenal
Turnover: 3rd highest in league, £245m
Wage bill: 4th highest, £143m
Net debt: £98m
Chelsea
Turnover: 2nd in league, £261m
Wage bill: 2nd, £173m
Net debt: £878m
Everton
Turnover: 8th in league, £81m
Wage bill: 10th, £63m
Net debt: £46m
Liverpool
Turnover: 5th in league, £169m
Wage bill: 5th, £119m
Net debt: £87m
United
Turnover: 1st in league, £320m
Wage bill: 3rd, £162m
Net debt: £366m
City
Turnover: 4th in league, £231m
Wage bill: 1st, £202m
Net debt: £58m
Spurs
Turnover: 6th in league, £144m
Wage bill: 6th, £90m
Net debt: £70m
The Premier League generated 2.9 billion euros in revenue (1 billion above second place Bundesliga)
The average wages/revenue ratio for Premier League remained at 70%, ranging from 49% (Norwich City) to 94% (Aston Villa). It has been between 67% and 70% for four seasons in a row.
In 2011/12 Premier League clubs’ total matchday revenue (largely from gate receipts) was £547m (down 1%). Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United together accounted for half of matchday revenue across the Premier League.

Tottenham's new "world class" training facility, opened this year, cost an estimated £40M so I'm guessing Chelsea's would be similar?

I saw you got a new one this year, I have no idea how much ours cost, we bought the land first but that was under Bates, we only got planning permission under Roman and there were clauses, it is on green belt land. The facilities are being added to even now and there is room for growth, the youth facilities were added to the site and a permanent indoor pitch is next we had been using a temporary affair, inflatable, during previous winters. Many of the training pitches have under floor heating and are of Premier league standard. Actual costs I would have to look up.

Dont think Chelsea's has been done up to anywhere near the extent

Not saying it is bad, as it is still very good, but I think we spent a lot more money/time developing our training facilities.

What I was trying to get at here was working out where the balance of £700M of the debt which excludes the £188M owed elsewhere to other clubs, so even allowing £40-£50M for the cap ex for the new training facility, thats still c.£650M.
Can't have all gone on player deals, wages and compensation for sacked managers surely?

Proposed cost was 20 million according to the evening standard, this would have been without the acadamy facilities etc developed since. Again, no idea how much has been spent on it to date.

No offence, but have you been asleep for the last 10 years?

650m is close to the losses reported in the telegraph last year.
