Premiership money last season

Absolutely ridiculous numbers. In the Metro and elsewhere if anyone has a link.

Cardiff 62m for coming last, Palace 73m, Man City 96m but Liverpool top with 97m because they were live on TV 28 (!) times.

And these clubs still make losses.

Madness.

    And I guess this is just TV money so doesn't include any other revenue / sponsorship.
  • Anyone know how much money Championship teams get from TV money and prize money. Charlton probably got about a million? So we will have to compete with teams like Cardiff that get £62 + about £10mill parachute payments. Bet when they renegotiate their deal with the football league, if it goes up at all, it won't go up by much. Completely ridiculous...

    FFP surely just makes it harder for teams like us to go up the league?
  • And Cardiff got more money for finishing bottom than United got for winning the league last year.

    Disgusting.

    How can you not sort out grassroots football and want to bring in League 3 when there is such a gulf between the top 2 divisions already? And this gulf is going to further increase. The Premier League and Sky run football in this country, forgetting about the real fans that want to go and see their local team in the Football League, Conference and below.

    It's about 3m. Someone else will doubtless update with the correct figure, but it certainly isnt more than 4m Four million!

    On top of that, whatever the figure is, it was actually reduced in the last agreement with the FAPL.

    And that is why I will keep saying, the FAPL as a separate entity needs to be abolished, and the money controlled by a new entity which looks after English football as a whole, from the national team down to the grass roots. As it is in Germany. Not led by Greg Dyke , obviously.

  • It is plain and simply, killing the game.

    Cardiff received from TV alone this season more than five times out annual turnover.

    Part of me would love to win the Championship and turn around and go 'nah, you're alright. We'll defend it'.
  • Surely with the sums involved for finishing in the bottom three there should no longer be any need for parachute payments. Let the clubs budget properly to take the possibility of relegation into account.

    It really makes you hope that this season's relegated clubs all struggle next year. Bad for football generally, and this is the type of thing that Greg Dyke should be looking at rather than restructuring the lower leagues.

    I think the fact is Dyke and his gang are running scared of the English Premier League(tm). If they rock the boat too much, they're be thrown overboard without a pot to piddle in, so, for the near future at least, they will doth their hats and go along with whatever they're told to do.
