Bristol City's operational losses last year further emphasised the amount of work still required to further make the football club more sustainable as Championship sides continue to chase the Premier League dream.
The Robins' accounts showed they faced losses £532,000-a-week in the previous financial year, with only five other clubs topping that figure in Fulham, Bournemouth, Nottingham Forest, Birmingham and Stoke City, as past and present league rivals continue to post their figures.
City have worked tirelessly to address their financial woes, which were inflated by the Covid pandemic including the collapse of the transfer market and the loss of revenue. In their latest accounts which were posted in November, it confirmed a pre-tax loss of £28.5million for the 2021/22 financial year which was £10m better off than the year prior.
