Premier League of debt
1. Man Utd
Owners: Glazer family
Debt: £666m
"Comfortably serviced by strong cash flows" says a spokesman, citing large annual pre-tax profits.
2. Chelsea
Owner: R Abramovich
Debt: £578m
The club is dependent for survival on its owner's cash, both in loans and capital.
3. Liverpool
Owners: T Hicks, G Gillett
Debt: £350m+
Bought club with borrowed money. Now the Americans cannot fund a new stadium.
4. Arsenal
Main shareholders: D Fiszman, A Usmanov (24 per cent each)
Debt: £318m
Have accrued debt to fund an asset - the Emirates Stadium - that will be profitable in the long term.
5. Fulham
Owner: Mohamed al-Fayed
Debt: c£180m
Wholly reliant for survival on Fayed, who would sell if he could recoup losses.
6. Man City
Owner: Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed al Nahyan
Debt: £170m (imminently or already cleared)
City are now the plaything of one of the world's richest men. What is debt?
7. Wigan
Owner: Dave Whelan
Debt: £54m
Whelan remains one of the last of old-school, local businessman-benefactors - for now.
8. Middlesborough
Owner: Steve Gibson
Debt: c£50m
Gibson will remain a long-term financial supporter via his profitable parent company.
9. Bolton
Owner: Eddie Davies
Debt: £37m+
Owes cash to parent company that cannot sustain indefinite losses. Davies would sell.
10. Aston Villa
Owner: Randy Lerner
Debt: £37m
Unlike others, Lerner has not followed a "leveraged" buyout and has spent his own money, mostly.
11. Sunderland
Owner: Drumaville Consortium
Debt: £35m
Irish owners have speculated to accumulate Premier League stability.
12. Portsmouth
Owner: Alexandre Gaydamak
Debt: £31m
Millionaire owner who would happily sell to a billionaire.
13. Everton
Owners: B Kenwright (37.2 per cent), R Earl (34.6)
Debt: £26.4m
The latest club to ask sell-off expert Keith Harris to find them a billionaire buyer.
14. West Ham
Owner: Björgolfur Gudmundsson
Debt: c£25m
Gudmundsson's troubled Landsbanki initially took on £20m of Hammers' debt.
15. Blackburn
Owner: The Walker Trust
Debt: £20m
The Trust would happily offload the club but will fund it moderately in the meantime.
16. Tottenham
Owner: ENIC
Debt: £17m
As a listed company, needs to be more transparent and prudent than most.
17. Stoke City
Owner: Peter Coates
Debt: c£5m
Premier League income will comfortably cover low-level borrowing for now.
18. West Bromwich
Owner: Jeremy Peace.
Debt: c£3m
Another club that can boost its coffers in the top flight, if restrained with its spending.
19. Newcastle
Owner: Mike Ashley
Debt: Negligible (almost cleared from £110m+)
Ashley paid £110m to reduce debt, but now wants that back in £300m price tag.
20. Hull City
Owner: Paul Duffen (main shareholder)
Debt: Negligible
Premier League status means financial dreamland, if (and it is a big 'if') the club can control their spending.
Hope that answers your question Brian.
