Premier League profit is T.V money really. Not sure what has happened at Swansea as they have received millions in player sales over the last 7 years, yet appear skint ?
Players wages, its always players wages.
If you look at Swansea they only made profit when they had large players sales, all tv money, and other matchday revenue went on players wages.
They hope in the Premier league is that you sign someone for £10m they have a great season and you sell for £50.
Thats the only way to make a profit in football at the moment.
These figures show that the warning bells should have been ringing for Swansea at the end of the 16/17 season. Not sure if the TV income that season was the same as in 17/18, but, if it was, then around 95% of TV revenue was being spent on wages. The jacks were in the top ten of the Premier League wage bill league and that should never be the case for a club of their size (or ours) - Swansea weren't the first club to suffer after they started behaving as if the Premier League was their "natural" level and they won't be the last.

The year Sunderland got relegated, they were the only side not to turn a profit. If we don't make a profit, I'd be absolutely amazed.
A profit may be made for the coming season but relegation would be a blow when players have been contracted on higher wages.
