Everton lose ground on Premier League rivals after £169m reveal

Everton have dropped 11 places in the annual Deloitte Money League after seeing revenue decline for the 2022/23 financial year.

The Toffees have not yet published their accounts for the year ending June 2023, but an early hint as to what to expect in terms of revenue has been given through the publishing of the Deloitte report.

Having last year stood at 19th on the list with £181m in revenue, ahead of the likes of Newcastle United, Aston Villa, Brighton & Hove Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers, the 2024 Money League report, which includes the financial year up the 2023 year end, shows Everton to have suffered a drop of a little over 6%, with the report claiming the club will have revenues of £169.4m.

That drop has Everton down in 30th on the list, behind the likes of Fulham, Leeds United and Crystal Palace, with the club posting the 14th highest revenue among Premier League clubs.
