32 English Clubs Now Facing ‘Financial Disaster’ as Worrying Report Emerges

A worrying new report from football’s independent financial regulator has revealed that 32 English clubs are at risk of ‘going bust’ within the next 90 days. The independent football regulator said its ‘State of the Game’ report should serve as a ‘wake-up call’ for English football, after finding that the majority of clubs are operating at a loss. While some clubs - particularly those at the top end of the Premier League - have the resources to weather the storm, many others risk suffering the same fate as Bury and Macclesfield Town, who collapsed in 2019 and 2020 respectively.
