Didcot Saint Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 Look at how much revenue is generated just from Tv money without the other spin offs! http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news/news/broadcast-payments-to-premier-league-clubs/ Premier League announces 2011/12 broadcast payments First Published: Tuesday 15 May 2012 Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City are top earning club with £60.6m The Premier League has announced the value of broadcast payments made to its 20 clubs for the 2011/12 season. Newly crowned Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City received the highest total payment of £60.6m, the highest broadcast payment any winner has received in the Premier League's history. "The differences between teams have become smaller and the quality is higher" - Arsene Wenger Manchester United, who were pipped to the title by City, received over £60.3m - down slightly on last season when they were the top earning club. The Founder Members' Agreement of the Premier League sees the revenue from UK broadcast rights distributed in the following ways: 50% split equally between the 20 clubs 25% paid in merit payments (depending on where a club finishes in the final League table) 25% paid in facility fees each time a club's matches are on TV in the UK. Each club is guaranteed a minimum of 10 facility fee payments, while all international broadcast revenue is split equally amongst the 20 clubs and worth nearly £18.8m each for the 2011/12 season. The Premier League sells broadcast rights in three-season agreements and the current deals cover the 2010/11, 2011/12 and 2012/13 seasons. Over £968m was paid out in total to Premier League clubs this season - an increase of more than £15m on last season. Including payments made to clubs that have dropped out of the top flight the total is over £1.1 billion. Smaller differences Prior to the final weekend of the season, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said he believes the way broadcast payments are distributed helps keep the Barclays Premier League competitive. "I think it has been a very interesting season because it was very unpredictable and every game was difficult," he said. "The way we distribute broadcast income plays a part in allowing each club to compete" - Richard Scudamore "The differences between teams have become smaller and that is why maybe the quality is higher. There are less financial differences apart from two or three teams because the international television rights have gone up tremendously compared to the domestic rights. "They are shared equally in the Premier League and the financial differences are smaller. Therefore the Premier League is more levelled out and there is less difference." Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore added: "The Premier League's income distribution mechanism rewards sporting success in the League while also guaranteeing a significant amount of broadcast revenue to each club in order that they can plan from one season to the next. "It has been a fantastic season, arguably the best of all the 20 Premier League seasons, and the clubs deserve huge credit for the quality of football on show throughout 2011/12. "We believe the way we distribute broadcast income plays a part in allowing each club to compete at the highest level."

S-Clarke Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 That's pretty insane really, look at what Wigan received...! and Norwich, more than we've had in revenue for years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didcot Saint Posted 15 May, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 May, 2012 It just shows what promotion means, I know wages will increase but so will gate receipts, hospitality and merchandise sales. It really shows just how some clubs gamble so much on trying to reach the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really shows just how some clubs gamble so much on trying to reach the Premier League. And in a way you can see why they'd gamble....! £6m on a top striker, and potentially 90m in return. Of course if you fail after spending £6m then you're in the ****, but you can see why some take the gamble - it's an incredible revenue increase if you make it.

Saint_Jonny Posted 15 May, 2012 Share Posted 15 May, 2012 £40 million for being **** and getting relegated. Mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Without a Halo Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 When you see the level of the paracute payments to the likes of POOPEY it makes our and Readings promotion even more of an achievement than they were, given the relative disadvantage we started with compared to 6 key competitors (ignoring Portsmouth as the 7th of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
This Charming Man Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 When you see the level of the paracute payments to the likes of POOPEY it makes our and Readings promotion even more of an achievement than they were, given the relative disadvantage we started with compared to 6 key competitors (ignoring Portsmouth as the 7th of course) It's not £12m straight in the bank and there to splash out with. It's to help clubs cope with all of a sudden losing £40m that's been keeping them going over the last year. If anything for the first couple of season's after relegation, it'll leave you in a worse financial position than most other clubs in the NPC. Or you could just do what the Skates did, spend it all, make no cutbacks, then carry on spending whilst burying your head in the sand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highfield Saint Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 I wonder what this is likely to equate to in terms of total turnover - match day income, cup runs, sponsorship, merchandising etc. £70m - £80m? If that is the case and if we have a wage to income ratio of, say, 70% wages will be around £50m?? Or am I talking out of my arris? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right but it does mean they can keep a large number of premiership players when others cant and in theory that should give them an advantage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 Only a £20m difference between Wolves and Man United. I know lots on here think that Financial Fair Play is going to even things up but I am not so sure. If big clubs can only spend what they earn, then they will look to find ways to earn more. Big clubs pushing back on the current relative "fairness" in the TV deal will be the one way they will be able to realise their worth ahead of the smaller clubs.

smackalec Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 Incredible figures really. £40,000,000 (roughly) domestic tv £18,000,000 international tv Does anyone know how balanced the books were last year? I assume there was a shortfall, but even if you said it was £100,000ish a week (£5million over the year) that should mean that there is at least an extra £50 MILLION for next season. But I suppose you have to budget for relegation and therefore only allow for the parachute payments. So the wage bill should rise by £150,000 a week worst case.

This Charming Man Posted 16 May, 2012 Share Posted 16 May, 2012 You are right but it does mean they can keep a large number of premiership players when others cant and in theory that should give them an advantage But if they're any good they'd leave. Only WHU and Newcastle have kept some of their better players when relegated and that was because they were being financed by someone with a few bob.
