Shocking to see that Sunderland can get £16 mil for coming bottom, when Colchester only get £10k for being runners up in League 1, and Southend get £25k for winning it!

I'd say that the TV rights has a huge impact on the earnings.
Plus this is the Premiership after all! :D

Yep , no justice outside of the prem.
The money should be much more equally spread out imo.

Lol I know, but still a huge difference, how much of that would really be prize money, and how much is TV rights. The gap should be a little closer.

It's the same thing; the TV rights are negotiated as a league, therefore the money SKY pay for the TV rights is divvied up between the clubs as prize money.


edit: It really browns me off that Sunderland get 16M for being utterly inept, yet we (Celtic) win the league and qualify for the CL yet barely get 2M. I guess that's modern football, or rather, business.

Worth bearing in mind that the list doesn't include gate receipts, so Manchester United are probably right up there in terms of proper revenue. Their gates are probably around 25,000 higher than Arsenal on average, lets say it costs £30 a ticket, that would be an extra £750,000 per match. With around 30 home matches a season that equates to over £20m more in gate receipts than Arsenal (allowing for the fact Arsenal possibly played a couple of extra home games).

Of course it is , its based on performance through the season.
Without the cup runs taking into account it would be exactly the same as the league.

How much prize money do you get based on your position in the premiership?

Just getting to the Group stage of the CL seems to be worth in the region of £15m. That was an expensive lasagna Spurs had :D

Not sure exactly but it goes up £500,000 each posistion. Liverpool got £8.7m IIRC so you can work it out based on that.
 
Wow, teams in "Those that have good cup runs and finish in a high placing in the premiership earn more shocker!"

;)

Even more amazing is the revelation that "Rubbish teams earn bugger all!".
:o

£500k per position. That's why even midtable teams should keep trying right to the death, rising up 3 places will net you an extra £1.5m to put towards transfers, wages or whatever.
