Clarets Record £36.6m Profit

Burnley Football Club recorded a record net profit of £36.6m during the financial year ending June. 2018.

The figure compares to a profit of £22.2m in the previous season, when the club secured back-to-back top-flight seasons for the first time since 1974.

The new figure beats the previous club record profit of £30.1m, recorded in June 2015.

In a statement to shareholders, Chairman Mike Garlick said: “Following the successful retention of our Premier League status at the third time of asking in 2016/17, I felt it was absolutely essential that we should avoid the dreaded ‘second season‘ syndrome and, as a result, we continued to invest in new playing talent whilst trading players where we felt that they might be at, or close to, the peak of their value.
