Chelsea Earned A Record £99m In Prize Money For Premier League Title Success by lexyzboy: 7:43am On Jun 03, 2015 |
Chelsea’s Premier League title success earned them £99million in total prize money according to official figures - the most ever earned by a single club in one season from central funds. The precise eye-watering sum was £98,999,554, made up of £24.9m ‘merit’ cash for finishing top of the table, £19.98m ‘facility fees’ for being in so many live TV games, plus equal shares of the domestic TV deal (nearly £22m), overseas TV deals (£27.8m) and commercial income from the leagues sponsors, such as Barclays (£4.4m). Manchester City were second in the table and are second in the cash league with £98.5m, but Manchester United are the next highest earners (£96.8m) despite finishing fourth because they were live on TV more than third-placed Arsenal, who are fourth in the money table with £96.5m. The 20 clubs involved in the 2014-15 season will split £1.6 billion in league cash for the campaign, from Chelsea at the top down to the lowest earners, QPR, who take £64.9m for finishing rock bottom. This is the biggest sum ever earned by a bottom-placed club. The amounts paid to each club are detailed in the accompanying table. The merit money is split depending on finishing position, with QPR getting £1,244,898 finishing in 20th place, and the clubs above getting that sum multiplied by the number of places they finished above QPR, up to Chelsea’s merit money of £24,897,960 for first place. Every club receives at least £8,775,160 in facility fees, even when they were not shown as many times as the minimum 10 games they were supposed to be on live TV during the season. Burnley, Hull and Leicester were shown only eight teams each live in the UK, for example, and Stoke only nine times. For every game above 10 games, clubs get an extra £746,176 per game. Manchester United were shown most often in live games, 27 times, and made £21.5m from facility fees. Manchester City were shown next most often, 26 times, with Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool being shown 25 times each. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3108205/Chelsea-earned-record-99m-prize-money-Premier-League-title-success.html
