Football and money

Emirates Marketing Project killed the league and avoid FPP issues.

Can't celebrate them or winning the title.
 
The PL prize money involved in tomorrows games. West Ham, Brighton and Saudi Sportswashing Machine could be up to £14m, £12m and £10 better off if they beat Everton, Liverpool or Chelsea, depending on other result.

These sums are dwarfed by some others. Obviously the costs of relegation for Swansea or Southampton would be far larger, as would be no CL football for Chelsea or Liverpool. The difference between third and fourth for us and Liverpool will be worth about £7m in CL pool payments. So beating Leicester could be worth £9m to us.

Some early high level numbers (my opinion based on facts being published)
TV money for us this season will be £130m which is down on last year...
CL money will be roughly £70m
Gate receipts you would assume would be in the region of £50M minimum
Commercial revenue another £50m minimum
Merchandise was £15m previously
Player sales £20m (complete guess)
Add in other revenue streams and we should be hitting £350m turnover
 
CL money will be around £60m according to the Swiss Rambler. It's not final as City and Liverpool were still alive. I think Liverpool getting to the final will reduce our pool share slightly (my calculation: by 800k because of Liverpool's three extra games).

So these players have multimillion pound wages, but get paid extra for actually doing the job. The best must be Aubameyang’s ‘Champions League bonus’ of £2.26m, which he gets regardless of achieving the target.

With Aubameyang’s and Mkhitaryan’s deals, you have to wonder what beauties were needed to get Ozil to sign a new contact. £50k for each swivel of the eyes?
 
Since Dein left them they are a literal shambles when it comes to negotiating

The ripple-down commercial effects of United’s willingness to dig so deep to sign Sanchez from Arsenal prompted the desperate Gunners to make extraordinary payments of their own to bolster Arsene Wenger’s failing squad with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on deadline day in January.

In a desperately poor negotiating position, they agreed to pay the Gabon international a remarkable £18.2m on top of his £198,000-a-week salary when signing him from Borussia Dortmund.

Aubameyang’s list of extras included a £15.15m loyalty bonus, split into four instalments, to be paid before the end of his contract in 2021, £300,000 for 25 goals and assists in a season (he has 13 so far) and £50,000 for every Premier League match he starts which Arsenal win. They have managed five since his arrival, earning him an extra £250,000.

However, perhaps the most remarkable detail in Aubameyang’s Arsenal deal relates to his ‘Champions League bonus’ of £2.26m — which the striker will receive even though Arsenal failed to qualify for Europe’s elite club competition
 
The funny thing about that is that the clubs see fit to lavish it on players who don’t solve their problem.

Had United paid that to a commanding CB, Liverpool to a keeper or Arsenal to a player happy to actually put some effort in it would make sense.
