• Amortisation charge (this year)£54m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£161m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£15m

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

• Social security (employer NI)£18m
• Pension contributions£450k
• Key management pay (directors)£2.8m
