The Orange Ledger puts football finance under the accounts
An independent football-finance publication reconstructs club finances, transfer credit, wages, debt, and squad-cost rules from filed accounts.
Field notes
The site builds club-finance stories from filed accounts, registered charges, transfer instalments, and rule definitions rather than relying only on published transfer totals. Its current investigations use different evidence windows: the Palace piece covers five years and disclosed player wages, while the Brentford piece uses four years of accounts and nine charge registrations. The publication also presents uncertainty directly, including cases where an unpublished rule produces multiple plausible squad-cost ratios.
