In this 42-page report, we have examined in detail the statement of accounts and balance sheets from clubs that have been participants in the English Premier League from the 2008-9 season up to and including the 2015-16 season. With data from over 260 individual balance sheets, we have been able to calculate the economic performance for each club where all taxes and charges including the cost of capital have been considered. The report also introduces the Football Profitability Index (FPI) which illustrates the efficiency of each participant club in turning revenue into economic profit on a like-for-like basis.
