Even without winning a glass cup for over 7years, the two clubs above still dey top 10 in the world. Expecially Arsenal, I now know the reason Arsenal board don't bother themselves about trophies.
Researches proved that the prize money for the winner of the Capital One Cup popularly known as Carling Cup is not up to £3million, the Barclays Premier League's prize money for 1st position as at 2009 is £19million. By 2013, only a few million ll be added to that money which I believed to be between £20-25million. The prize money for last season's UEFA CL was £80million.
-------------------------
Last Bullet: These can't sustain the top clubs in Europe for player transfer alone. If not for earnings from other sources, clubs like Chelsea, Man City, Man Utd, Real Madrid, Zenith St Petersburg, PSG, Anzi Makachkala ll ruin with huge debts if they depend only on prize money for trophies won.
