Money

[Cochise]

I read an interesting little article earlier today which highlighted the amount of extra money we made on the last day of the season by jumping Liverpool. What was more interesting however was that Liverpool made more money overall from the league this season due to the amount of matches they had on TV.

There is actually quite a disproportionate amount of cash given to the Sky 4 + Emirates Marketing Project when compared to the average and whilst we are above most in the league, the difference between those 5 clubs and the rest is massive.

Don't think the gap is as big as you make it .. Barcodes finished just above relegation and made about 10M less than us ... not horrendous

it's really the combination of tv money, sponsorship, CL/Europe money, gates & merchandising that creates the gap

Whilst as a fan I feel we as a club somewhat ignored in favour of the Sky favourites, they do have a recent history of success since the creation of the Premier League and due to that the TV ratings will know doubt reflect this.

That extra £1.3m will help nicely with Joe's yacht makeover.

I agree, that kind of money is a rounding error to a PL club

Plus all the clubs get an extra million each because Norwich got promoted back in so won't need the two parachute payments they would have had.

Be nice if they subsidised away travel and tickets next year with the extra cash.

A couple years back.. maybe Bales last year, we were up there in terms of times shown on TV, more than Liverpool.

I blame Stevie Me. They couldn't show him enough and bleat on about what a great player he was at every opportunity. In saying that the semi final of the cup and his last match we're fantastic viewing. Well worth the money.

I was wondering about what happens to those payments no longer required - where a relegated team goes straight back in the following season. If for instance all three relegated clubs return the following season, that's a fair amount of cash to be giving back to the PL...

Small problem with your comment! £10m doesn't sound like much but clubs aren't that profitable. Say club A makes £5m profit and club B is identical but makes that £10m extra - then B's profit is 200% higher!

My point was the gap on that item of income only didn't highlight the real differentiator within the PL

The 200% is also useless, it would be more along the lines of would 10M allow you to x players on 40K more per week, or 1 more 10M player per year?

The money from live matches is way down on last year. From £18.9 to £13.5m

this is the thing

i'd say these days 10m doesn't get you much in the PL

40k a week is 2m a year, but again, how many decent players are not on at least double
that, 10m is either the fee for one decent player or annual wages for two
