Arsenal finances

• Gross spend on signings (this year)£123m
• Amortisation charge (this year)£171m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£397m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£80m

In football accounting, "intangible assets" = player registrations. Amortisation is the contract cost spread over the years remaining.

• Wages & salaries£289m
• Social security (employer NI)£40m
• Pension contributions£1.9m
• Key management pay (directors)£6.4m
• Highest paid director£2.0m

• Tax & social security owed at year-end£22m

Unusually large HMRC balances at year-end can signal cash pressure. Most clubs file PAYE monthly, so a multi-million sum sitting unpaid is a flag.
