Arsenal Claims Loss Of $65M, Citing COVID-19 Impact 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Fri Mar 5, 2021 8:26 pm

Arsenal has announced a post-tax loss of £47.8 million ($65 million) for the year ending May 31, 2020. The club cited the \"material impact\" of COVID-19.

The club claim the pandemic cost them £35m during this period as a result of lost matchday revenue, the deferral of broadcasting revenues into the next financial year following the three-month hiatus in games and a shortfall in commercial income.

The accounts also show exceptional costs totalling £10.4m, essentially the cost of sacking Unai Emery in November 2019 and replacing him with Mikel Arteta.
