There are concerns about the global economy at the moment,but football is continuing to coin it in as this year's Forbes rich list shows - By Lucas Brown



Manchester United have retained their position as the world's richest football club ahead of Real Madrid and join nine other Premier League teams in the top 25. The Red Devils' are considered to be worth €1.42 billion by Forbes,well ahead of los Merengues,who are reported to be worth a figure of €1.03b.



Arsenal are,somewhat surprisingly,in third position,while Barcelona are in seventh place,despite their overall wealth increasing by 22 per cent from last year's summary. Madrid and the Blaugrana are the only two Spanish representatives on the list. There are also four Italian sides,five teams from the Bundesliga,two French sides and the Old Firm representing Scotland.



The show of strength from the Premier League is highlighted by Tottenham Hotspur's position of 11th,which places them above Inter,Roma and Olympique Lyonnais.



Spurs have only won two League Cups in the last ten seasons and never qualified for the Champions League. Chelsea's value only sees them make it into eighth place while Manchester City are back in 17th with a value of just €236 million,less than both Hamburg and Borussia Dortmund.



Top 25 clubs: (€,000,000's)

1 Manchester United 1,423

the author forgot about the little matter of the glazer family owing about 700M sterling.... hence why they have to sell ronaldo at the end of the season just to offset the interest accrued this financial year alone!

Selling Ronaldo will have nothing to do with the Glazer family debt but rather his slump in form this season though I still believe he will not be sold!!!

If it was about the debt by the Glazer family they would have sold him last season,also Man Utd wouldn't have paid more tha $ 30M for Berba!!!.....

Pondi you forgetting that the Glazer family has owned Man Utd for more than 3 seasons now and that Forbes is much better placed as compared to you in determining the world's richest club!!!!

If you have money that you expect to start using in five years,it now belongs in stocks.

@mcreggae ... you are right,forbes is better able to determine the financial health of the clubs. my info comes from the Manchester United fans' pressure groups who have uncovered startling detail in accounts published this week by the club and its holding companies. The Glazers will have to repay £75m in 2013,£150m in 2014,£150m in 2015,£150m in 2016 and a final payment of £600m in 2017. now get this,For 2007-08 season,the club's turnover increased to a record £256m to generate club profits of £66m - but these were wiped out by interest repayments on debts of £68.8m. this the season they practically won everything in world football,got all those bonuses for winning etc etc.

Does a high revenue mean that you are rich? Those fellas have to raise £150m every year for the next 6 years. Debt stands at £1.1 trillion. The long term loans were used to buy the claim. The americans have to sell. We are all richer than ManUs



Fundamentals + Sentiments = Position

Fundam....

That's by your definition,but sorry we got the universally agreed method/definition which puts Man Utd at the top!!!

Guys forget that all the big 4 in England are servicing loans in one way or the other!!!!
