Wow. It turns out those were some pretty expensive trophies...
...Manchester City, in the third year since Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi bought the club and began to pour in money to acquire a team capable of winning the Premier League, lost £197m, the greatest financial loss in the history of football.
Chelsea lost the next highest amount, £68m, bankrolled by their owner, the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich, who loaned £94m into the club during 2010-11. Liverpool, documenting the first eight months of ownership by John Henry's Fenway Sports Group, lost £49m.
Shame Liverpool didn't get any return on their 50 million...

And in conjunction:
Manchester City have increased season-ticket prices by an average 9% for next season. The hike, which follows a 6% rise 12 months ago, means that some City supporters will have to pay £60 more to renew their seat at the Etihad Stadium to watch the Premier League champions defend their title in 2012-13.
