Audit opinion
Unqualified (clean)
Going concern
Affirmed

“In assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, the Board has prepared detailed cash flow forecasts extending to the end of the 2026/27 season and performed stress testing on these forecasts, with on-pitch performance representing a key underlying driver. These forecasts assume the continued financial support of Fosun International Limited, which has confirmed its commitment to provide the funding required for the Club to meet its obligations. In addition, the Club retains the ability to secure further funding through player sales and cost-reduction measures, if necessary.”

Year-on-year

FY2024 → FY2025 · period ending 2025-06-30 vs 2024-05-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
