Despite being Premier League Champions, Champions League winners and World Club Championship winners, Manchester United are only the second richest club in the world......due to a weak pound!
Real Madrid remain top of the Deloitte's Football Money League for the fourth year in succession. The information is based on financial information for the 2007/2008 and Manchester United would have been the richest clubs if the pound was still as strong as it was in 2007.
The exchange rate factor also had an effect on the rest of the top 20 - there would have been 9 English clubs instead of 7 if the pound had not depreciated so much.
The top 10 are shown below:
- Real Madrid: £289.6m
- Man Utd: £257.1m
- Barcelona: £244.4m
- Bayern Munich: £233.8m
- Chelsea: £212.9m
- Arsenal: £209.3m
- Liverpool: £167m
- AC Milan: £165.8m
- AS Roma: £138.9m
- Inter Milan: £136.9m

Celtic and Rangers dropped out of the top 20 for much the same reason despite success in Europe
