Read a professional club's numbers the way analysts do. You will work out revenue by stream, wages as a share of revenue, transfer fees spread over contract years, profit on player sales, instalments that arrive years later, and a squad-cost check against a fictional league rule, with every cell checked as you go.

About this course
This course explains professional football club finance with a fictional club and league. You build revenue from matchday, broadcast shares with a merit payment looked up by league position, and commercial income. You work out the wage-to-revenue ratio and a squad cost ratio against a fictional rule, amortise transfer fees over contract years, value player registrations, calculate the profit on player sales and the cash that really arrives, and turn transfer instalments into payables, receivables and present value. Scenarios for promotion and relegation, a quarterly cash plan and a five-season dashboard complete the picture. Illustrative numbers – not investment, accounting or legal advice.
