Manchester United have dropped down the list of the world's richest clubs.
United have dropped from second to fourth in the list of the world's wealthiest clubs, trailing Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus.
United headed Deloitte's Football Money League for eight years until being deposed by Real Madrid last year.
English clubs fill eight out of the top 20 spots in Deloitte's table, based on revenues generated during 2005/6.
United remain the world's most profitable club, making a £49.7m profit in the year to June 2006.
Deloitte said it believed this fall may only be temporary as further expansion of their Old Trafford ground should significantly boost the club's match day income.
"Manchester United may be in fourth position this year but with the completion of their stadium development we can expect them to move back up the list in 2006/07," said Deloitte's Paul Rawnsley.
With a lucrative new TV contract coming into effect next year, Deloitte said Premiership clubs could fill more than half of the list by 2007/8.
But Deloitte added that Spain's two footballing giants would not give up their positions at the top of the table lightly.
"The two clubs have had contrasting strategies, with Real focusing on driving commercial revenue from recruiting its Galactico players and Barcelona having a more balanced revenue portfolio," said Dan Jones, a partner in the firm's Sports Business Group.
Deloitte's top ten richest for 2005/06:
1) Real Madrid: £202m
2) Barcelona: £179.1m
3) Juventus: £173.7m
4) Man Utd: £167.8m
5) AC Milan: £165m
6) Chelsea: £152.8m
7) Inter Milan: £142.8m
Bayern Munich: £141.5m
9) Arsenal: £133m
10) Liverpool: £121.7m -
I hope LFC rise to the top next season while MUFC go the wrong way.

You add up all the total worth of top 10 clubs, and Roman A can still beat it..
That's why this numbers are not a true reflection lah.
MUFC got 600M debt. Poorest of all clubs..
That should make a lot of people happy.. -
hmm.. and MUFC still has the highest profit margin among all those clubs
and with the significant increase in the capacity of the home stadium and the grand 'prize' of 50m pound purse for Tis seasons EPL champion, i dun think u'll see United slip any further than they have now, most would expect to climb back up again -
Long live liverpool

No disrespect to Spurs . -
Christian Bale joining Spurs this summer? I think he should stay on with Saints if they can return to the big league.Originally posted by iceFatboy:and the proof is that MUFC lost the bid for Bale against Spurs.
