Financial Results

That is total wages for the club. The new rules only regard wages for the first team. Not just that but also amortisation and agents fees.

Also worth noting that those figures are 2020/1. Some clubs have significantly increased squad sizes in that time, most notably Chelsea, Saudi Sportswashing Machine and Man U
Both correct observations. We need to factor in amortized transfer fees and any other transfer related fees (e.g. sign-on bonuses, agent fees). I'm not sure how much that would affect these percentages.

Pity swissramble made his stuff for paying members only as he used to give an estimate for clubs. Chelsea were at around 92% before sacking potter. They won't be effected by uefa rules next season though as they aren't in europe. Not really sure about other clubs.

You have to pay for Swiss Ramble now?

Is there any alignment or tweaking of the PL rules on the horizon?
 
So 47% is back to normal then? Still not sure what to make of it.
.
Yes. Back to normal (2020).. percentage wise but more spent in monetary terms

What to make of it?. Depends what answers you're looking for?

We spend a certain percentage of our income on wages. The bigger our income the more we have to spend.
Is there some headroom to increase the %. Yes. But that might be affected by the new rules. Plus if we run a different structure/strategy that % might even go down. Academy, young talent from Europe etc.

There are obviously other outlays to be considered as well, transfer fees, agent and manager costs being the obvious.
 
Interesting views of looking at finances, internal cash generated (Spurs 2nd), debt, owner input. Could have been a little more detailed but worth the read

How Premier League clubs make their money – steady Eddies, debt giants and owner-led vehicles - The Athletic (Paywall)

Where is all this cash coming from? Accounting idiosyncrasies and technicalities aside, who’s ultimately paying for these transfers and new stadiums and how are clubs generating cash for all this spending?

Paste it in then! Or give us the answer :)

It all goes on the yacht
 
I see tv rights ovners are losing money now, Viaplay that have the rights in Skandinavia and poland are losing brick loads.
Here in Norway I have to pay 60£ a month to see PL and another 30£ to see CL.
What do others that pay for the service have to pay? I feel its too expensive now.

Why are they losing money though? If it is because they are expanding their portfolio it might just be a part of the plan. Netflix did so for years. Sacrificing profit for increased market share.

There's a few groups that the various competitions (Norwegian league, Premier League and CL being the most popular) alternate between. The benefit to the consumer is that it's become ridiculously expensive to follow even one of them, let alone have access to everything you want to watch (if one channel shows the PL, someone else has the domestic cups). You also need change your subscriptions regularly because whoever has the rights changes every two or three years.
