Premier League club accounts: how in debt are they?

Manchester United won the Premier League in 2010-11, and also finished top of the money-making table with a turnover of £331m, more than £100m more than any other English club. Photograph: John Peters/Man Utd via Getty Images

The Premier League's 20 clubs made a record income of £2.3bn in 2010-11, yet still made a collective loss of £361m. 
Eight of the 20 clubs made a profit while Manchester City, whose lavish funding by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan has just won them the league title, reported the greatest financial loss in the history of football: £197m.

Manchester City were also the only Premier League club whose wage bill (£174m) exceeded their turnover (£153m).
The smallest wage bill in the 2010-11 season was perhaps unsurprisingly to be found at Blackpool (£25m), but West Bromwich managed to avoid relegation with the second smallest spend on wages, of £40m.
