Wimbledon are England's best run club

The Fair Game Index has rated the top 92 clubs in the pyramid through 80 different touchpoints across four criteria: Financial Sustainability, Good Governance, Equality Standards and Good Governance.

At the moment over half of England’s top 92 clubs are technically insolvent, and a majority of Championship clubs are spending more than they earn on players’ wages.

AFC Wimbledon emerge as England’s best run club with an overall score of 73.58 out of 100. The Premier League’s top club are Brentford. 

Championship side Plymouth Argyle boast a perfect score in the Financial Sustainability metric, whilst League One’s Cambridge United set the standard for Good Governance. Exeter City are the highest scorers for Fan Engagement, with Lincoln taking the honours for Equality Standards. In fact, clubs in Sky Bet League’s One and Two scored higher overall across all four criteria than their counterparts in the Sky Bet Championship.

The top three clubs for financial sustainability are  Plymouth Argyle, Forest Green Rovers and Portsmouth.
