Club Finance Explorer is built around progressive disclosure: start with the simple answer, then drill into the driver, evidence and accounting context only when you need it.
Pin the clubs you follow and the app will prioritise them on your home screen. Your pins, default club and compare basket are saved to your signed-in profile.
Open the Saved Workspaces drawer lower on the page to store the selected club, comparison basket, evidence mode and analysis state. Reopen it later from another signed-in device.
Clickable labels, chips and breadcrumbs show when a number has a deeper level beneath it.
If a deal is known but its value is undisclosed, the chart shows the active contract period rather than inventing a number. The Evidence Ledger shows the point-level provenance used for each historical year.
During beta there is no Basic/Premium split, trial or payment requirement. Sign in to use the full FY16–FY25 history, evidence filters, four-club Compare Intelligence, Saved Workspaces, point-level provenance, full Explorer drilldowns, Rules Intelligence and all Labs.
Compare Intelligence includes Trend, FY25 Snapshot, Indexed Growth and Ratios views, with league rank, period movement and evidence quality shown alongside the selected clubs.
League Scan ranks the full club universe. Scenario Lab stress-tests revenue and costs. Progress Studio measures trajectory rather than scale. Squad Economics moves into player-level cost detail where coverage exists. Peer Benchmark Matrix compares league percentiles and a selected rival. Trading Strategy Lab analyses player-sale profit and amortisation. Source Desk audits sourced, estimated and linked evidence. Intelligence Brief produces a concise executive read. Report Studio builds custom multi-club reports for copy or print.
The rebuilt Rules workspace starts with a single club's public cost-pressure position, illustrative headroom and evidence quality. Club Compare then applies the same public proxy to up to four clubs using your existing Compare basket, showing decade trends, league position, PL/UEFA headroom and the filed inputs behind the proxy.
Filed = statutory/regulatory account. Official = club, league or sponsor disclosure. Reported = credible press/business reporting. Estimate = clearly stated analytical estimate.
All 20 clubs have FY16–FY25 points for the core graphable series: revenue streams, staff costs, player amortisation, pre-tax result and player-sale result. Where a historical filing does not disclose a comparable value, the app uses an explicitly labelled modelled point in All points mode. Choose Sourced only to remove those estimates.
Transfer cash, player-registration book value, annual amortisation, wages and profit on player sales are different concepts. The Explorer keeps them separate.
No. The public proxy does not use UEFA’s exact numerator, denominator or monitoring period.
Many partnership terms are confidential. The product shows the verified partner and active period rather than manufacturing a precise contract value.
Yes. Signed-in users can save named workspaces in addition to their pinned clubs, compare basket and default club.
