Only three Premier League clubs featured in Forbes' list of the world's most profitable sports teams over the past three years; Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Manchester City.
 
Man Utd have long held the mantle as English football's most popular club but it may come as a surprise to many that Tottenham are a more profitable enterprise.
 
Spurs placed third in the list topped by the Dallas Cowboys (£940.5million) after pocketing £332.5m in the timespan.  
 
United were ranked fifth with a total operating income of £323.6m while City came in at 10th with £264.2m.  
 
Football finance expert Kieran Maguire reveals Tottenham aren't just the most profitable Premier League team over the past three years but of all time.
 
Speaking to Last Word on Spurs, he said:  'I’ve got the records of every single club that’s been in the Premier League since 1992
'Every single set of accounts and Spurs are not just the most profitable club in the history of the Premier League, but they are the most profitable club by a fair distance.'
 
He added: 'Spurs made over £400m worth of profits. I think in terms of strategy, in my view, they have a master plan.
 
'The strategy of the club is there to invest in infrastructure, to keep a really tight lid as far as wages are concerned and then the benefits started to come through.'
