Premier League clubs are back in the black overall for the first time in 15 years thanks to a rise in TV income and a show of restraint in raising player wages . Figures released by analysts Deloitte show that the 20 clubs ' annual figures combined show a pre-tax profit for the first time since 1998/99 - to the tune of £190m in 2013/14 . Premier League revenues have risen 29 per cent from £2.5billion to £3.3billion due to the increase in the value of the TV deals , but wages have grown by just six per cent in the same period - £1.8billion to £1.9billion overall . Juan Mata scores an audacious goal against Liverpool at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday . Dan Jones , partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte , said : 'Last season was the first in the Premier League 's current three-year broadcast deal , which was a record-breaker when it was struck . 'Combined with strong commercial growth at the highest revenue generating clubs , this has boosted Premier League revenue 29 per cent to a record £3.3bn . However , despite this extra income clubs showed relative restraint in wage costs , which grew by 6 per cent to £1.9bn . 'In the first year of the preceding two broadcast deals , 56 per cent and 81 cent of respective revenue growth was absorbed by wage costs . This time it is less than 20 per cent . ' The figures will provide good news for the 20 club chairmen who meet in London on Thursday - where they will also face a protest organised by the Football Supporters ' Federation calling on the top flight to use the increase in TV income to cut ticket prices and funnel more money to the lower leagues and grass-roots . FA chairman Greg Dyke 's wants to increase home-grown players in club squads from eight to 12 . The protestors are expected to be allowed to send in a letter to the chairmen , who are also expected to take a significant decision on the administration of the Premier League . Richard Scudamore , the current chief executive , may be appointed as executive chairman with a possible re-organisation of the board . FA chairman Greg Dyke 's plans to increase home-grown players in club squads from eight to 12 are not on the agenda but may be discussed . It is understood there is little appetite at the Premier League to change the quotas - not least because it would mean the English clubs being put at a disadvantage compared to the rest of Europe .
