The signing of Cristiano Ronaldo will have helped to boost Real's commercial revenues
The top six places in the table remain unchanged with Real and Barca followed by Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Chelsea. Real have revenues of £373 million (€438.6m) compared with £338.6 million (€398.1m) at Barca and £297.5 million (€349.8m) at Old Trafford.

Real's revenues are up 9.3%, Barca by 8.8% and United 7%.

The financial study ranks clubs purely based upon the revenue they bring in rather than the wealth of their owners or profit and loss from 2009-10 accounts. The earning-power of the Premier League means seven of the 20 clubs are from England.

The big movers are Manchester City, who entered in 20th place a year ago but have now shot up to 11th with revenues of £152.8 million - up 49.5% on 12 months ago. They look certain to climb even further if they begin to enjoy the riches of the Champions League in future seasons.

AS Roma suffer the biggest drop, with the Serie A side falling six places to 18th with a 16% reduction in revenue. Liverpool fall one place to eighth with Spurs up three to 12th.

Vfb Stuttgart and Aston Villa are new clubs in this year's list.

Juventus (10th) get 65% of their revenue from broadcasting deals, compared to Bundesliga side Hamburg with 23% (10th).

Arsenal enjoy the largest matchday revenue of 42% as they reap the rewards of moving from Highbury to Emirates Stadium, with Juve bringing in just 8% from their Stadio Olimpico games.

Schalke are most reliant on commercial business as that brings in 57% of their revenue, with 20th place Aston Villa just 15%.

Should increase again next year however if Manchester city's "special" partners continue to add more money to their coffers we should stay 12th. I think with champions league football and our new shirt sponsorship deal we could end up with an extra 20-25m

Oh just realised that would still have us below inter milans wage bill !!!

Just been asked in soccer forum if we can cope without champions league football next year and I thought I'd add it in here we have almost doubled our shirt sponsorship deal this year plus increased commercial revenues with a deal with sporting bet as well as that the players we have brought in are all under our wage cap (Rafa is on about 55k a week).

As well as that we have been trying to shift the likes of Bently and Keane off our books. Gio and Pav are also likely to go this season I think.

I then thought I would take a look at the amortization of our players which was 40m last year!

I think that should drop in the next couple of years pretty significantly. So I think the club is set up pretty well, however I expect that City will remain ahead of us next year in this and I doubt we will catch Juventus on 200m revenues so 12th again next year I think.
