This 27th edition follows a similar structure to previous years in outlining the key developments across European football, but the storyline that flows through has changed somewhat. The phenomenal growth of the English Premier League, capped by its financial record breaking 2016/17 season, seems to have at last delivered a consistently profitable picture for top tier clubs and more signs of long-term financial sustainability for those in the Football League.
