Player sales helped Burnley FC turn a profit despite Premier League relegation

Burnley FC made a profit in the year they were relegated from the Premier League thanks to selling players, the club's delayed accounts show.

The Turf Moor club, who recently won promotion back to the top flight, have been under a transfer embargo since March after submitting their accounts late.

According to the documents filed with Companies House, Burnley posted a profit of £36m for the 12 months to July 31, 2022, compared to a loss of £2.9m in the prior year. Without selling players, the club would have made a £19m loss.
