Getty Images | "The only thing we know for sure is that existing player contracts look like they'll be OK. But what affects us more with Brexit is some of the things we would like to do on the continent with another club, such as a partnership agreement," said a CEO of a Championship club contacted by offthepitch.com.

Arsenal are concerned by impact on ticket revenues and value of broadcasting/sponsorship rights.

Wolves have undertaken a hedging strategy, while one Championship club put all "long-term strategic stuff on ice."

Annual reports reveal most common risks are currency changes and player eligibility.

Leicester City identify a "failure of Government and Football authorities on admission process."
