Brighton & Hove Albion finances

• Gross spend on signings (this year)£210m
• Amortisation charge (this year)£82m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£289m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£7.3m

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

• Wages & salaries£139m
• Social security (employer NI)£19m
• Pension contributions£456k
• Key management pay (directors)£3.5m
• Highest paid director£2.7m

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.
