The IFR added that interest and investment from around the world continues to grow within English football, but the underlying foundations of the pyramid are under intense strain and require urgent reform. Despite over £9bn generated in revenue, 94 per cent of clubs are loss-making, with long-term security being put at risk through excessive short-term spending to keep up with rivals. This, the IFR says, has led to a "dangerous cocktail of rising debt and an over-reliance on owner funding, leaving clubs and their fans at risk". 00:00 Data telling 00:54 Loss making 01:15 EFL and Nationa
