Football Finance expert Kieran Maguire has heaped praise on Leeds United's owners after their Companies House reveal last week. The Whites posted revenue of £171million when they filed their annual results on Wednesday April 6th, ranking them 23rd in Deloitte's Global Money League, posted on Twitter by Swiss Ramble.
The 2020/21 accounts put the Whites just behind six time Europa League winners Sevilla with £177m revenue, but ahead of Italian giants AS Roma £169m and Atalanta £166m. The statistics are made even more impressive when you take into account a 16 year absence from the Premier League.
The Whites made a £26million profit for just the second time in ten years, an incredible feat given much of the season was played in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. Leeds posted a £62 million loss from their final season in the Championship, despite winning the title under Marcelo Bielsa.
