Its turnover also dipped to £108.8m due to a reduction in its share of the broadcasting money from the Premier League as the club was rooted to the foot of the table when it was relegated compared to its turnover of £115.7m when the club finished 17th in the previous year.

Travellers have left a Birmingham school which had earlier been forced to close to hundreds of students after police and council officers turned up to evict them.
Image source, West Midlands PoliceThe 60-strong group, which included adults, children, dogs and a horse, ignored a 24-hour eviction notice served on them by council bailiffs on Saturday, police said.
The council served an immediate demand on the group today and was supported by more than 20 officers to make sure they left from 08:00.
Sgt Dave Cotter said: "The group ignored a notice to leave, which gave them 24 hours to move on, and in the end we were left with no option but to force them to leave the school grounds."
Officers also said they seized an Audi from the illegal camp on Saturday for having no tax or insurance and said it was suspected the car was involved in a non-stop collision in Northfield High Street earlier that day.
