Manchester City finances

• Gross spend on signings (this year)£353m
• Amortisation charge (this year)£170m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£654m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£49m

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

• Wages & salaries£355m
• Social security (employer NI)£51m
• Pension contributions£1.4m

• Tax & social security owed at year-end£51m

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.
