Deloitte’s football money list for the 2015/16 season has been released, and – as usual – English teams are better represented than those from any other country.
Eight Premier League sides are among the 20 richest in the world when it comes to revenue, with Manchester United leading the way after a third-place finish last season.
Both Manchester clubs are among the five highest-earning clubs in the world, while Newcastle United are the one second-tier outfit from any country to have cracked the top 30.
Here are the top 10 from England – has your club made the list?

‘The number of English clubs in the top 20 has again equalled the record of eight, but the number of English clubs in the top 30 has reduced from a record 17 in the previous edition to 12 owing to impressive revenue growth at other European clubs,’ the report notes.
‘However, given the record domestic broadcast deal coming into effect for the the 2016/17 season, there remains a distinct possibility that a record number of Premier League clubs will feature in the top 30 in the next edition.’
Everton (23rd) and Sunderland (29th) are the other two clubs to crack the top 30, with Aston Villa, Swansea City, Stoke City, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion all dropping out after featuring in the 2014/15 edition.
