Fulham have announced losses of more than £73million.
Club accounts filed with Companies House yesterday reveal that the newly-relegated Cottagers made the huge loss in the financial year of 2019/20.
That covered a campaign when Fulham eventually reached the Premier League, in a season elongated due to the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Income from player sales did reduce the losses somewhat, with £25m raised. The sale of Ryan Sessegnon to Tottenham Hotspur helped in this regard.
But the accounts detail that Fulham’s income dropped by around £80m following their 2018/2019 relegation from the Premier League and that the average wage paid out in the Championship was £34,000-per-week - above the divisional average.
The figures continue a worrying trend among clubs in the EFL.
Only yesterday Sheffield Wednesday posted losses of £23million, whilst in May Stoke City posted a mammoth loss of more than £90million.
