visualizing how football (soccer) clubs derive their income

data via Guardian Datablog.

 

Position of each club depends on how the club's revenues are made up : Matchday ("bums on seats"), Commercial (Sponsorship) and Broadcasting rights. Colour of club's dot is in proportion to it's revenue; higher revenue is lighter.

 

Seem to be three noticeable clusters. German teams are mostly Commercial, Italian clubs mostly Broadcasting, and UK and other European clubs tend to be a more balanced mixture.
