It's eyeball goggling stuff, but goes to show how hugely successful the Premier League has been. One of Britains great success stories.
Are you serious? Practically every club makes a loss and those clubs that compete at the highest level do it on borrowed money.
And look at those "big" clubs chewed up and spat out after their Premier League experience - Leeds Utd, Derby County, Coventry, Bolton Wanderers, Sheffield Wednesday, Blackburn Rovers, Middlesbrough, Charlton Athletic, Birmingham City, Ipswich Town, Portsmouth. 11 team, a combined 108 seasons in the top flight yet none of them in the Championship Top 7 or in serious contention for promotion.
