Portsmouth is close to administration having failed to reach an agreement with the British tax authorities over $11.76 million owed. West Ham's new owners David Gold and David Sullivan face debts of more than $160 million.
Even deep pocketed Man City has lost $150 million since its takeover by Abu Dhabi oil billionaire Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan who has invested the staggering sum of $630 million.
