Premier League Broadcast Payments to Premier League clubs The Premier League has announced the value of broadcast payments made to each of the 20 clubs for season 2010/11. Barclays Premier League winners Manchester United received the highest total payment with just over £60.4m while Blackpool's payments, totalling £39.08m, were the lowest for 2010/11. The Founder Members' Agreement of the Premier League sees 50 per cent of UK broadcast revenue split equally between the 20 clubs, 25 per cent paid in Merit Payments (depending on where a club finishes in the final League table) and the final 25 per cent paid in Facility Fees each time a club's matches appear on TV in the UK during the season. All international broadcast revenue is split equally amongst the 20 clubs. most equitable Premier League Chief Executive Richard Scudamore said: "We believe that our income distribution mechanism, the most equitable of Europe's major football leagues, rewards sporting success while also guaranteeing a significant amount of broadcast revenue to each club in order that they can plan from one season to the next. "Many have commented on the competitive nature of this season's Barclays Premier League. The clubs deserve huge credit for putting on a fantastic competition. We believe the way we distribute broadcast income plays a part in allowing each club to compete at the highest level."

SKY ....Manchester United have become the first club to top the £60million mark in earnings from Premier League prize money and TV cash. United earned £60.4million as the new record overseas TV deals saw top-flight clubs bring in up to £7million more than last season. Blackpool were the lowest earners of the Premier League but still saw £39.1million go into their coffers, while Chelsea earned £57.7m, Manchester City £55.5m and Arsenal £56.2m. The figures released by the Premier League also show that it has the smallest difference in earnings between the champions and the bottom club in terms of ratio of any major league in Europe. England's top club earned 1.54 times as much as the bottom in TV money - down from 1.66 last season. In Spain, where TV rights are negotiated on a club-by-club basis, Real Madrid and Barcelona earn 12.5 times more than the smallest clubs in La Liga. Distribution mechanism Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said: "We believe that our income distribution mechanism, the most equitable of Europe's major football leagues, rewards sporting success while also guaranteeing a significant amount to each club in order that they can plan from one season to the next. "Many have commented on the competitive nature of this season's Barclays Premier League. "The clubs deserve huge credit for putting on a fantastic competition. We believe the way we distribute broadcast income plays a part in allowing each club to compete at the highest level." The Premier League distributes TV rights money based partly on performance, partly via equal shares of TV income, and partly on the number of times a club's matches are screened live on domestic television. Facility fees This season, each club received £13.8million as the equal share of domestic TV rights and £17.9million as the equal share of overseas TV rights. On top of that, every place in the Premier League table is worth £756,000 - West Ham received that amount and Manchester United £15.1million. Facility fees of £582,000 are paid to a club every time they play in a live TV match - with a minimum income of £5.82million even if a club has been involved in fewer than 10 live games. The Premier League also pay out £15million each in parachute payments to previously relegated clubs Hull, Burnley, Portsmouth and Middlesbrough. The three relegated clubs this season will receive the same amount. www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6950168,00.html |

Deloitte
Reading and Swansea City only 90 minutes from a £90 million ‘winner takes all’ promotion prize 24 May 2011 The Football League Championship Play-off Final on Monday 30 May will again offer the biggest financial prize in world football, worth around £90 million to the winners. Whilst Reading hope to return to the top flight after a three year absence, Swansea City are bidding to become the first Welsh Premier League club. If successful, Swansea City would become the 45th different side to play in the Premier League since its inaugural 1992/93 season. Paul Rawnsley, Director of the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, commented: “The winners at Wembley on 30 May can expect a revenue increase of more than £40m in 2011/12, mainly due to Premier League broadcast income, but also from higher gate receipts and commercial income. In addition, even if a club is relegated after one season in the Premier League, it is entitled to parachute payments over the following four seasons of up to £48m.”Rawnsley added: “In financial terms, the Championship Play-off Final offers the winning club the most substantial prize in world football. Promotion offers an unparalleled, and potentially one off, opportunity to strengthen the foundations of a club for years to come through sound investment in long term infrastructure, in addition to the expected player acquisitions in the short term.”Alex Byars, Senior Consultant in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: “The newly promoted clubs are often the bookies’ favourites to be relegated, but over the past decade more than half (17 out of 30) of those clubs have successfully retained their Premier League status in that crucial first season, so history shows it can be done.”Byars added: “Whilst many newly promoted clubs have managed to maintain some momentum from a successful Championship campaign, survival in the Premier League often ultimately hinges on strategic investment on and off the pitch. Inevitably, the short term priority is usually investment in the playing squad; but clubs need to also have one eye on the medium to long term, by building in protection against the risk of relegation, through the use of variable pay clauses in players’ contracts.”After the end of the current season, the 20th edition of the Deloitte Annual Review of Football Finance will be published, providing analysis of football’s finances in England and around Europe.
