Sheffield United finances

• Gross spend on signings (this year)£20m
• Amortisation charge (this year)£16m
• Squad book value (intangibles NBV)£30m
• Book value of disposals (sold registrations)£66m

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

• Wages & salaries£40m
• Social security (employer NI)£5.5m
• Pension contributions£268k
• Key management pay (directors)£160k
• Highest paid director£151k

• Tax & social security owed at year-end£1.5m

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£11m
• Outstanding charges (loans secured against assets)10
