Deloitte have published the league table of the World's Richest Football Clubs, headed by Real Madrid with £290 million annual turnover, with Manchester United second with £257 million.
Context is everything in football, as it is in life. In some parts of the world, my height would result in me being worshipped as a God, while on the terraces I am reviled for having a clear view and casting a shadow on those behind me. Context, context, context.
Anyway, I reckon CCFC is probably turning over £6-7 million a year without a good cup run. It may be more, but my instinct tells me not.
Leaves us a million miles, well 250 million miles, away from the largest club in the UK, though they have debts to service that would even make Michael Jackson twitch.
Makes you think a little though doesn't it
