Leeds United finances

• Gross spend on signings (this year)£45m
• Amortisation charge (this year)£46m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£61m

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

• Wages & salaries£91m
• Social security (employer NI)£12m
• Pension contributions£269k
• Key management pay (directors)£465k
• Highest paid director£465k

• Tax & social security owed at year-end£4.9m

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.

• Group / owner loans£22m
