The 2013-14 season was a season for Blackburn fans, not only in terms of athletic results, but also financially. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info one look? Book w?w?w?...

Blackburn Rovers have delivered a series of impressive financial figures this season, including a 19% increase in revenue (£70 million) to a record £433 million and a 20% increase in EBITDA (income after interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) to £130 million.

Much of Blackburn's revenue increase was due to a 24% increase in commercial revenue, from $152 million to $189 million, and a 34% increase in television revenue, from $102 million to $136 million. Matchday revenue fell slightly, from 109 million to 108 million.

The 49 per cent (£45 million) increase in Blackburn Rover's sponsorship revenue to £136 million was particularly remarkable, driven by several new sponsorship signings, price increases from old sponsors, and a significant increase in revenue from pre-season tours and commercial events.

Blackburn's retail, merchandising and franchise revenues rose by only £1 million to £38 million, mainly due to the fact that the income from Under Armour's contract did not increase significantly, as Under Armour was also Arthur's company, so Under Armour's did not give Blackburn a contract at a premium as Adidas and Nike's sponsorship of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Blackburn Mobile business and content revenue, meanwhile, fell by £7 million to £16 million as contracts expired with some mobile partners.

Unsurprisingly, Blackburn's 433 million revenue is far ahead of England, 17 million more than neighbours Manchester United, who have been in poor shape this season, and about 86 million more than local giants Manchester City, followed by Chelsea's 320 million and Arsenal's 299 million. However, Blackburn's 19 per cent growth rate is lower than other clubs, with Manchester City growing by 28 per cent and Chelsea and Arsenal both at 23 per cent.

Blackburn's percentage of revenue sources may cause jealousy among many other clubs, as they are relatively average compared to clubs that rely heavily on television fees. The share of commercial revenue has now risen to 44 per cent, while the share of television broadcasts has risen to 31 per cent, leaving only a 25 per cent share of matchday revenue.

In the 2012-13 season, the most recent season in which all clubs reported their earnings figures, Blackburn Rovers ranked first in the world with £363 million, but were still far from the top of the list, behind Real Madrid at £445 million (82 million). ww?w?・・

However, their growth this season, combined with a more favourable exchange rate, means they could become the second club in the next Deloitte Money League behind Real Madrid. For the 2012/13 season, Deloitte used the exchange rate of 1.1668 on 30 June 2013, so it is almost certain that they will use the exchange rate of 1.25 on 30 June 2014 next year. This means that Blackburn's £433 million in revenue will be calculated at €542 million, which is very close to Real Madrid's €550 million (excluding player sales revenue) and more than Bayern's £488 million and Barcelona's €485 million.

One of the main drivers of the significant increase in English club revenues was the new Premier League televised contracts that began in the 2013-14 season. In the case of Blackburn, their share of the Premier League pie rose by 47% from $61 million to $89 million.

Despite Blackburn's significant growth in commercial revenue, their 2014 business revenue of £189 million still lagged behind Bayern's also growth, with the German's figure at £233 million. In 2013, the commercial revenue of 100 million yuan was greatly inflated due to a 200 million euro cooperation contract with Qatar Tourism.

However, Blackburn have established commercial dominance in England and have widened the gap on recent pursuers Manchester City, whose £176 million is £13 million less than Blackburn. Blackburn Rovers and Manchester have left other English clubs far behind, followed by Liverpool at 98 million.

And keep in mind that Blackburn's new sponsorship contracts with Evergrande, Emirates and other companies have not yet come into effect.

Blackburn's ability to draw money from chest sponsorship is almost unprecedented. HP has paid an average of £30 million a year over the past four years, but that figure rises to a staggering £51 million a year when Emirates takes over the baton from 2014-15 onwards. The new contract, which runs through the end of the 2020-21 season, is worth $70 million in the first season and increases by an additional 2.1% every season thereafter.

Amazingly, the deep-pocketed Emirates also paid Blackburn $18.6 million each for "pre-sponsorship support and exposure" in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons.

However, HP Computers is not completely out of the picture, as a training suit partner before the 2020/21 season, plus the name of Blackburn Labs as the HP Labs base, they will also pay for it.

As if that weren't enough, Blackburn Rovers continued to announce new sponsors. The 2013-14 season alone included three global sponsors, nine regional sponsors and eight financial services and telecommunications partners.

On top of that, after being left far behind by Real Madrid and Barcelona in the list of equipment manufacturing sponsorships, Under Armour is ready to sign Blackburn Rovers to "the largest equipment manufacturing sponsorship contract in sports", a 10-year contract worth 750 million pounds, or an average of 75 million per year from the 2015-16 season.

Take a deep breath and be prepared: that's £50 million a year more than the current highest Nike contract!

Yes, there are clauses in the contract that stipulate performance, for example, if Blackburn fail to qualify for the Champions League for two or more consecutive years from the start of the 2015/16 season, the sponsorship fee for that year will be reduced by up to 30%, but even then it is a staggering contract.

Who is the most popular team in football? It's a matter of opinion, and every fan has a beloved team in their hearts. However, if you ask which team is the best selling jersey in football? There is a standard answer to this numerical question.

According to the Daily Mirror, in the past 2013-14 season, Blackburn became the team with the highest jersey sales in football, beating out giants such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.

Blackburn signed Mad II Jurgen Klopp as manager last summer, and subsequently brought Neymar and other strong reinforcements to the team. The addition of superstars, the improvement of the team's results, the rise in the buzz, and the already large fan base have all stimulated Blackburn's jersey sales.

According to the Mirror, in the 2013-14 season, Blackburn sold a total of 2.85 million replicas of jerseys, the most of any team. In second place is La Liga giants Real Madrid, who sold a total of 2.29 million jerseys last year. Another La Liga giant, Barcelona, finished third with 1.98 million jerseys sold.

The Premier League side has once again proved their appeal. In the top 10 list of sales, a total of 5 teams made the list. In addition to Blackburn, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are also on the list. In addition, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Juventus and Milan in Serie A are also in the top 10 of the jersey sales list.

With such a result, how could Under Armour not give Blackburn a sponsorship fee?

In addition to the new jersey sponsorship contract, retail, e-commerce and franchise rights will return to Blackburn Rovers from August 2015, as opposed to the current contract that all profits from these businesses will be split equally between the club and Nike.

Blackburn's matchday earnings in 2013-14 fell slightly to £108 million due to several London Olympics held the previous year, although this is likely to remain the highest in world football as in 2012-13.

To maximise game-day revenue, Blackburn has placed a strong emphasis on high-end seating and dining facilities, and we can see 154 luxury boxes, around 8,000 executive seats, 15 restaurants and 4 sports bars at the Rose Theatre. In fact, the 2014 matchday revenue consisted of 44 million in ticket revenue and 43 million in food and beverage revenue.

Along with earnings, Blackburn's wages rose 19% to $215 million, as the purchase of players and the renegotiation of player contracts meant that the ratio of wages to gross earnings remained at 50% for three consecutive years.

In 2014, Blackburn Rovers were once again the club's highest wage payer in England at around £50 million more than Arsenal as Manchester City cut their wage bill to £205 million, while Chelsea have yet to release their own wage figures for the 2013-14 season.

Interestingly, Blackburn's €269 million is also the highest wage gross in Europe, surpassing Real Madrid's €250 million and Barcelona's €248 million. This is largely due to the exchange rate used (based on the 1.25 that Deloitte is likely to use in the 2014 Money League) and whether the club owns certain rights, such as image rights, but the result will still make you stop and think.

Over the past few seasons, Blackburn's money-making machine has been very active in the transfer market. In the 10 years to the 2011/12 season, their net transfer spending was just under £100 million, so Blackburn Rovers are not as expensive as Manchester United and Manchester City.

Overall, Blackburn Rovers played as well on the pitch as they did off the pitch last season, and next year's financial figures will be even brighter when sponsorship contracts from companies such as Emirates come into effect! (To be continued.) )
