In their own words · from the filing
Standard payment terms
Standard payment terms are at the end of the week following 30 days from receipt of a valid VAT invoice from the supplier. Significant contracts including those for player transfers and related transactions are subject to specific payment terms as set out in and agreed in the applicable contract. In addition to standard purchase invoice terms, football transfer fees are often paid in instalments over a number of years.
Dispute resolution
Suppliers are advised to contact the member of staff who they dealt with initially, or the Accounts team. Any dispute that cannot be resolved in this way are passed up to the Finance Director and thereafter if still unresolved, a member of the Board.

How UK payment reporting works
What is a Payment Practices Report?
What does "paid outside agreed terms" mean?
How often is this data updated?
Is this official government data?
How this is compiled. Built from official records only: Companies House and the gov.uk payment-practices service. The payment figures are self-reported — companies over the size threshold must file them by law and the board signs them off. No credit-agency data. The numbers are theirs; the plain-English read is ours. This is information compiled from public records under the Open Government Licence v3.0 — not a credit rating and not advice.
The 31-day comparison figure is the median across 6,104 companies with a current statutory report — every sector pooled, not an average of sector medians (how the figure is built).
