Player trading

  • Amortisation charge (this year)£108m
  • Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£289m

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

  • Pension contributions£3.1m
  • Key management pay (directors)£4.2m

HMRC exposure
