What is the fattest cash cow among the soccer clubs in the world? Having a study of the annual ranking of the Deloitte Football Money League may help to find the answer.
It is the Spanish Real Madrid Soccer Club! It has topped the Deloitte Football Money League ranking for five consecutive years since 2004. From €275.7 million in 2004~2005 to €401.4 million in 2008~2009, its annual revenue of football operations realized an amazing increase of 46% within five years. To better illustrate the change of its annual revenue, I made the following chart with the original figures from Deloitte Football Money League. From the chart we may easily find that Real Madrid keeps on earning higher yearly revenue gradually and continuously, and the global economic crisis seems to make no apparent impact on it!
