Premier League: Chelsea announce record-breaking profits


Chelsea have announced a profit of £18.4m and a record turnover of £319.8m for the year ending 30 June 2014.

Figures released on Thursday, showed the west London club recorded their second profit in three years and the largest since Roman Abramovich took over the club in 2003.



The club state the figures demonstrate they have satisfied UEFA’s break-even criteria under the financial Fair Play regulations (FFP).
In a statement on the club’s website, details of the record-breaking performance off the field were outlined, including a special reference to their success despite failing to win a trophy last season.
“The £18.4 million profit follows the £1.4 million generated two years ago with strong revenue increases during the 12-month period contributing to the figures,” the statement read.
“The turnover figure demonstrates that business growth continues in seasons without trophy success as well as in years when silverware is won. The new FAPL broadcasting deal contributed significantly as did commercial income."
“There was a small rise in matchday income but with Stamford Bridge filled to capacity year after year there was no scope for significant financial growth in this area."
“The latest financial results combined with those from the previous two years mean that for the second monitoring period for FFP we will fall comfortably within the limits set by UEFA.” ...SkySports
