Notes

  1. ↑ While the personal wealth of Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan is used here, Manchester City are controlled by Abu Dhabi United Group, which internal documents suggest is ultimately managed by the government of the United Arab Emirates. Therefore, as Manchester City are controlled by companies considered state-controlled, the concept of 'net worth' is purposeless and does not apply. The actual value of the controlling entities are ultimately impossible to even guess at. The figures included are simply included as a reference point, and should therefore be taken at face value at best.
  2. ↑ As Newcastle United are controlled by companies considered state-owned, the concept of 'net worth' is purposeless and does not apply. The actual value of the controlling entities are ultimately impossible to even guess at. The figures included are simply included as a reference point, and should therefore be taken at face value at best.
  3. ↑ The direct parent company of the club was W.W. (1990) Limited, which was acquired by Prestige Century Holdings Limited; Prestige Century was a subsidiary of Fosun Management Holdings Limited; Fosun Management Holdings was a subsidiary of Fosun International; Fosun International, a listed company of Hong Kong, is a subsidiary of Fosun International Holdings, which was majority owned by Guo Guangchang, Liang Xinjun and Wang Qunbin

In the United Kingdom, football clubs sometimes choose to enter administration (sanction) when they are unable to pay off outstanding debts. Under the Insolvency Act 1986, a business will face a winding-up order bringing them to court and if it is shown that a business cannot pay debts as they fall due or cannot repay outstanding debts then the company will be classified as insolvent. Administration puts accountants "in charge of pretty much everything apart from coaching the players and picking the team". For a football club in administration, the "football creditors rule" requires football-related debts such as wages owed to players and staff, and transfer fees owed to other clubs to be paid first.
