Accountancy giant Deloitte revealed in a report that
combined revenues for football clubs playing in England's top division rocketed by 32% to €3.9 billion (£2.87 billion, $4.4 billion) in 2013-2014. That's significantly more than Europe's second wealthiest division, Germany’s Bundesliga, which made €2.3 billion (£1.7 billion, $2.6 billion).
(...)
The English Premier League's operating profits increased by a massive 649% to £532 million ($815 million)
while the league recorded its first overall profit since 1998-99.
15 out of the 20 Premier League clubs made a profit in 2013-14 while overall pre-tax profit stood at £198 million ($303 million).

Com a entrada dos petrodólares, assistir-se-á ao aumento do fosso entre os novo-ricos e os clubes dito 'normais'. Até a Liga Inglesa dá mais prejuízo que lucro:
The Premier League has never been richer, with the most recent combined annual income for the current 20 clubs soaring past £3billion for the first time. But a review of the books by the Mail on Sunday also shows club debts standing at more than £2.5 billion.
Much of that poses no imminent danger to the clubs encumbered with it. Chelsea’s parent company owes Roman Abramovich £958million, for example, and he is showing no sign of demanding it back any time soon.
Manchester United have debts of £342m as a result of the leveraged takeover almost 10 years ago by the Glazers but can service it comfortably, while Arsenal have ‘good debt’ of £241m, borrowed to fund their stadium. Taking their cash pile into consideration they had only £33m of net debt at the end of the last financial year.
But a group of clubs including Aston Villa, Hull, Leicester, Newcastle, Queens Park Rangers and West Ham have each racked up debt of around £100m, much of which is owed to their owners. And in an era when the Premier League has never had so much cash it is bewildering so many clubs remain financially unstable and potentially in peril should they get relegated.

Adição:
Championships clubs are making an alarming collective loss, according to accountants Deloitte.
Teams in England's second tier now have a combined debt of £1.1billion, which is more than twice the annual revenue for the the 24 clubs in the division.
Deloitte believe this loss is 'alarming' - in 2013-14 the 24 teams in the Championship lost £247million between them, which is an average of more than £10millon per club.
To highlight this issue within the league, the only club who could boast of having net funds were Blackpool, who went on to finish bottom of the Championship in 2014-15 and their owners, the Oyston family, have received constant criticism of how they run the club.
(...)
Last year clubs spent more than £500million on salaries for the first time - an increase of 12% from the 2012-13 campaign.
Second-tier clubs were losing money on wages alone, shelling out 105% of their revenue on their talent.
Only three clubs had kept their wage spend below 70% of their overall revenue and the same number of clubs had a profit to show for their endeavours.
Despite this overspend,
2013-14 was the first season in which no club were subject of insolvency events, which Deloitte believe points to that fact that Financial Fair Play rules are having an impact.
(...)
The reason clubs are willing to spend is to gain promotion to the Premier League where the riches are becoming obscene.
A new TV deal right deal starting in 2016-17 will be worth more than £5.3billion to the league.
This will
allow the lowest club in the Premier League to take in around £85million, Deloitte predict.
