The Premier League champions announced record first quarter revenue of 98.5 million pounds, a 39.3 percent increase in commercial revenue thanks to 12 new sponsorship deals which have been signed since September.

The effect of the new TV Premier League deal has begun to benefit the club as well, with a 40.9 percent increase in broadcasting money from the same time last year, and with a new contract with BT for the Champions League just signed, that figure will continue to be healthy.
