The Premier League, like Deloitte, may want to focus on the cash rolling in, making top-flight revenues a full 3,000 per cent higher now than they were in 1992. ‘Yes, the Premier League is successful in bringing in money,’ says Maguire, football finance specialist and co-host of The Price of Football podcast. Everton, a catastrophically managed club in recent years, have never finished higher than fourth in the Premier League, yet have amassed £633m in losses. Spurs fans, with two League Cups and a Europa League since ’92, would gladly swap, taking no delight from their club being far more in the black than any other club across the Premier League era.
