British Football’s Money Lists

Manchester City fat cat Sheikh Mansour, has reclaimed his perch on top of Football's Rich List. The oil magnate has seen his worth soar from £3billion to £20billion. Jealous much Roman?

The figures are staggering in football today and these lists make for some absorbing reading. A few things stand out:

  • Roman Abramovich is at number four on the Richest Owners List, his lowest rank since buying Chelski in 2003. Shame.
  • Ipswich Town’s Roy Keane is worth £6million more than Sir Alex Ferguson. *Scratches head*
  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer features in the Richest Manager List (he manages Manchester United’s reserves). Must be shirt sales following that Champions League Final winner.
  • Sol Campbell features in the Richest Player List. He’s seen more clubs than a baby seal, so you’d imagine he’s had a fair share of transfer slices.
  • Even though Michael Owen is second on the Richest Player List, his wealth is only 40% that of Becks’.

Enjoy.
