EFL Championship outfit Stoke City have suffered huge losses since their relegation from the Premier League in 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite chairman John Coates injecting hundreds of millions into the club, the Staffordshire side have continued to lose vast amounts of money.<\/p>\n

According to football finance expert Kieran Maguire, the Potters have been losing an average of \u00a3676,000 per week since dropping to the second tier in 2018.<\/p>\n

The club made a \u00a330m loss for the year up to March 2024, as revealed by their accounts.<\/p>\n

There has been a massive gulf between investment and performance for Stoke City<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Narcis Pelach’s side are 19th in the Championship table after 26 games.<\/p>\n

Sitting just four points above the danger zone, a further relegation to League One could be catastrophic.<\/p>\n

It’s not uncommon for Championship clubs to lose money as they bid to reach the riches of the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Stoke have not finished in the top half of the second tier since being relegated back to it seven years ago.<\/p>\n

Stoke City Losses Paint A Worrying Picture<\/h2>\n

Speaking to the Stoke Sentine<\/em>l, Kieran Maguire explained where the Potters have gone wrong.<\/p>\n

He said:\u00a0\u201cI think there is a big difference between spending money and spending it well.<\/p>\n

“Nobody can doubt the degree of support that the Coates family have given Stoke City Football Club.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve calculated that since Stoke City were relegated, on average they have lost \u00a3676,000 a week. That\u2019s from 2018 onwards, which is an incredible amount of money and I think a lot has been wasted.\u201d<\/p>\n

Championship clubs can post losses of up to \u00a341.5m over a three-year rolling period. Anything above this will incur sanctions from the EFL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, Stoke’s \u00a330m investment to upgrade the stadium and training ground does not count towards PSR rules. The women’s team and academy are also exempt.<\/p>\n

But despite these write-offs – and the sale of the stadium – Stoke’s losses are still deeply concerning.<\/p>\n

Maguire added:\u00a0\u201c[Despite the write-offs] these losses are spectacular.<\/p>\n

“To lose more than \u00a330m when you\u2019ve only got \u00a323m or \u00a324m coming into the club \u2013 in any other business you\u2019d say let\u2019s call the whole thing off.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
