What does the WSL financial breakdown show for Everton Women?
The Guardian reported that the 2024-25 season accounts reveal a growing financial divide across the Women’s Super League, with Everton Women not among the clubs publishing detailed figures. While Arsenal, Brighton and Chelsea released their turnover, wage bills and profits, Everton’s data was not included in the published breakdown. The report noted Arsenal’s turnover rose to £21.54m with a £22,000 profit, Brighton sustained a £7.29m loss despite owner Tony Bloom’s funding commitment, and Chelsea’s £17.10m loss included £12.08m for purchasing Kingsmeadow. The absence of Everton’s figures means direct comparison is not possible, but the league-wide trend shows matchday and commercial revenue increasingly separating the top clubs from others.
