Finance for the sports industry

Professionalising performance off the pitch

The latest Premier League TV deal provided $8.3 billion for the Premier League clubs. The new English Football League deal has increased by 36% on the previous deal to $600 million for 5 years, as from 2019. At Republic Trust Bank, we recognise that whilst there has never been so much money going into football, it has had an inflationary impact on the market for players, and the contractual payments structure from TV requires astute financial management. In a fast-paced transfer market, where the cost of players is ever-increasing, clubs need to move quickly, and we can help make that happen.
