Are we on course for having a record turnover this season ?

Looking back at our figures and trying to come up with an estimate.

Gate receipts, last non-covid affected year was 18/19. That included 7 home European sell-outs, totaling £32m. We have so far played 7 home games with at least 1 more, most sell-outs. Also, prices are quite significantly higher than 18/19, especially in the later stages. 19/20 we played 9 European games at home, our total gate receipts were just under £36m. (For context last season, £18.2m). I think a number close to £40m is not far off when you consider increased prices, the Real friendly and increased hospitality capacity.

Commercial, Bisgrove has already said we are on track to more than double last years number, which stood at £13m. His projection is we will take in almost £28m.

Players/Manager Sales, £9m upfront for Patterson according to sources on here and £4.5m in for Gerrard and his staff. I don't know how that will be reflected in the accounts though. £13.5m in tranfers revenue.

Those three alone total an increase of £32.5m on last year £47.7m, which would take us to £80.2m.

The Gerrard & Patterson money won’t be classed as turnover, as Gecko said. However the profit will be shown below the line.

Remember here, on Patterson it’s the unconditional element of the fee, whether it’s received or not yet, so it’s 12m.
