Comparison of Traditional and Cash Flow Ratios in Measuring Liquidity and Solvency Performance in Football Clubs: An International Analysis

Öz

This study examines the financial data of 17 football clubs from nine national leagues under the Union of European Football Associations for 2018-2024, analysing liquidity and solvency through traditional ratios and cash flow-based ratios. Descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were employed to compare findings. The analysis indicates weak liquidity performance in both ratio groups, with traditional ratios presenting more optimistic outcomes than cash flow-based ratios. For solvency, the total assets to total debt ratio showed less unfavourable results than the cash flow to debt ratio, while the cash flow-interest coverage ratio outperformed the interest coverage ratio. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test confirmed statistically significant differences between traditional and cash flow-based ratios.
