Newcastle’s revenue is broken down into three different pieces – broadcast revenue which is by far the largest because of the Premier League TV rights deal, commercial revenue and matchday revenue.
In the latest financial results announced this morning the only part of the revenue that went up was matchday revenue – what we get from the games at St. James’ Park, and we brought in revenue of £26.8M which is up from £25.9M last year – a 3.5% rise for that part of the revenue.
Broadcast revenue fell about 1.4% to £77.2M from £78.3M due to us finishing in 15th place rather than in 10th place the previous year.
And commercial revenue fell about 2.7% to £24.9M from £25.6M.
Mike Ashley – Newcastle owner
So here was the breakdown of the revenue for last year compared to those of the previous financial year split into their three components.
If we are relegated next month we expect the Broadcast revenue to shrink to around £45M and rise to about £140M if we stay in the Premier League, because of the new TV rights deal.
As a guide to how we have been doing with revenues and profits here are the figures form what Mike Ashley took over back in 2007.
Note that in 2009-2010 when we were in the Championship the drop in revenues we suffered and in the financial year 2016-2017 if we are relegated we would estimate that revenue will drop to about £95M – £20M from Championship, £25M in parachute payments from the PL and about £50M from commercial and matchday revenues.
If we are not relegated we estimate that revenue to be up to about £190M because we will get an increase of about £60M from Broadcast revenue with the new £5.1B TV rights deal.
And the profits since Mike Ashley bought the club.
Comments welcome.

I agree on those points. I hope Rafa can give a solid fresh look if we stay up and make changes across the board to our players, staff and philosophy. If we drop, I would love SDJ to stay as he is one of the experienced players we would need to have around to have a shot at quickly returning to the Prem.
Who are the sales you think would happen if we do manage to stay up?

sissoko is a player who does’nt really have a position,and has constantly wanted a move,lacks quality of control..very inconsistent,gini has literally disappeared recently,whats to play behind the striker but does’nt get involved enough,taylor,tiote,obertan,goofy,cisse,rivierre all will be gone.

Comment #5The worst part of the policy that has seen the team suffer so badly is that not one of them bar Perez and possibly Sissoko is worth more than we paid for them.

Comment #6I agree on Sissoko – he is a Cisse kind of player. Shows up sometimes, but doesn’t provide any consistency to our attack or defense. Somewhat of an Hba but not as good.
I’d keep Janmaat, but we badly need to find a good up-and-comer for RB. It will be interesting to see if there is a clear-out of deadwood and which players Rafa would keep – I have a feeling a few will surprise us.

Comment #7This is probably a more accurate reflection on the increased profits without negligible increase in Turnover!!

Comment #10Don’t want to put a dampner on things lads, but best if we keep real: chances of relegation: over 90%; chances of Rafa being here next year if (when) relegated: 0, so little point in discussing who he’ll keep/sack, as he won’t be here. I wonder who will be?

Comment #12I would like to see Doumbia get a start, just to see what he’s all about. He’s either very poor in training or there’s some claws in his loan deal.
But basically our board only have themselves to blame. The knew our weaknesses and chose to egnore them and hanging onto Macca. Maybe Macca will be reinstated when we’re in the championship, he certainly has the experience.
Just about the inept decision the club would make.

If you want to see thoughts on who might be kept if we go down, see the last thread. Since that was already discussed, I moved on to the other possibility of if we stay up. Certainly ifs abound, but since nobody can see the future, it’s a relevant hypothetical.

Comment #15i know it wont happen but would like to see rafa match southampton and go 3-5-2….i know it has’nt really worked when tried before but the current formation has’nt worked all season and may surprise them if nowt else….extra defender at the back to help with pelle and a extra striker up top to help mitro…we all know that the odds of getting anything down there is slim,so why not try something different.

it will be darlow as elliot wont be fit and krul will be sold as i think he only has a year left on his deal in the summer

i forgot how long he’ll be out injured….divvy moment there!…..do you think krul will have many after him?…he was poor for a long time before he got injured, so not exactly sure he’ll have many tempting offers.

Comment #19springy
he will get a few offers i am sure
but with only a year left i am sure the club will look to offload
better to get something rather than nothing

Comment #20I think they’ll offload Krul as well. It’s clear that the backups are capable and much younger, leading to potentially better long-term prospects. Since that’s what the management cares about over short- and medium-term success, I’m pretty confident that Krul will be sold and Darlow/Elliott will fight it out for the starting spot once Elliott returns from his injury.

It’s just before the Norwich game, in fact it’s been going on all season by most on here saying that we have a good squad with quality. In fact before the season started most had us in the top eight. MA probably thought the same.
I was one of a few on here that knew we lacked quality, no prolific striker and a terrible defence, (which wasn’t strengthened) I predicted relegation and we will be, unfortunately
