AsgAarD_xxx schreef:A new Deloitte's Money League says that Ajax earned almost 75 mln euro last season, what means that we are just after the first 20. of the richests clubs from Europe.

EDIT: and we know the official players' wages. The richest Ajacied is Wesley Sneijder, who earns 2.6 mln euro (this is just a wage, without commercials etc.). The second on the list is Klaas-Jan Huntelaar, with 2.1 mln. The last Ajacied, who earns more than 1 mln is Johny Heitinga. Stam and Davids were not include, because they didn't play in Ajax for the whole season (but both earned over 3 mln).

Muisje Andersom schreef:Forbes is a company that deals with stocks.

Above that, there is no way that Ajax had revenues of 196 mio dollars in one season. Also, the column '1-year value change', strongly suggest that the list is dealing with the value of the stocks of the mentioned clubs, and thet this value in this column is compared with last years stockvalue.

Revenues and operating income are for the 2005-2006 season and converted into U.S. dollars based on June 30, 2006 exchange rates.
1 Forbes estimates based on past transactions, enterprise values (market value plus debt) of publicly traded teams and current stadium deal (unless a new stadium is pending).

The most amazing thing which I found was that ManUre's dedt as a percentage of value is 84%.

Can someone shed some light on this?

If you would have only read the page a little more carefully, you could have seen that it is an estimate, based on "past transactions, enterprise values (market value plus debt) of publicly traded teams and current stadium deal (unless a new stadium is pending)."

Revenues and EBIT operating income are mentioned as well... (Ajax obviously wouldn't make it into the top20 on revenues)

Ajax Profits Rise After Big-Money Sales

Largely thanks to selling some of their top players last summer, Ajax announced today making a net profit of no less than 21 million euros during the first half of the 2007-’08 financial year.

With depreciations reaching the heights of 7.3 million, the Ajax balance of transfer fees is an impressive 30.2 million, even though they did spend quite a lot on buying footballers such as Albert Luque, Dennis Rommedahl and Kennedy Bakircioglü.

Vast improvement

It has to be noted that during the same period last season the Amsterdam giants had announced a loss of 5.6 million. That practically translates into an overwhelming improvement, despite a significant drop of turnover after their failures in Europe this season.

After being knocked out of the European Champions League against Sparta Prague in the third qualifying round, the Godenzonen were also eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb in the first round of the UEFA Cup. Missing out on Europe altogether resulted to a 6.7 % decrease of net turnover to 31.6 million.

40,000 season tickets

Nonetheless, the Amsterdam giants managed to sell more season tickets, in total 39,447 compared to the 38,628 of the ’06-’07 season. Underachieving on the field meant that the club paid 600,000 euros less to both players and technical staff as bonuses, even though salaries actually increased by 1.9 million to 19.6 million.

More sales to come

Ajax’s total business cost from July 1 to December 31 rose to 34.5 million, while the group asset is 78.9 million euros, a 65.2% of the balance total. The club have publicly stated they expect an operational loss throughout the whole fiscal year, even though they expect to raise their net profits by selling more players. Hedwiges Maduro was transferred to Valencia on January 18 for a reported 2.5-million-euros fee.

“Ajax have sufficiently liquidated resources without appealing to the capital market or to a credit supply to finance our activities,” reads an official announcement made to the Amsterdam stock exchange.

SaddlerIan schreef: The other question to be asked is how do the clubs below Ajax in the financil league table manage to provide their players with incentives to both produce the goods and, indeed, stay at their clubs? Players coming to Ajax do not seem to have the same incentives as others to "produce the goods", especially, if it's true, they are GIVEN a €25-30,000 Audi... just for signing on the dotted line!
