Read from the club's own filing, which lists what it spent by kind. The full split, year by year, is further down the page.

Is the club on solid ground?

The club took in more than it spent 2 years running. Its reserves would cover about 10 months of spending.

Fees rose 128% over that time while the reserve grew. Worth asking what the reserve is for.

Do players move on?

*Revenue from families divided by today's estimated roster (~400), so the column moves with the club's revenue, not its size. Reserves are net assets in months of that year's spending.

Revenue from families rose 128% from FY 2021 to FY 2025.

The club kept a surplus 2 years running; its reserves would cover about 9.7 months of spending. Fees have risen while reserves grew — worth asking the club what the reserve is for.
