Premier League plans

'Of all the unimportant things in life, football is the most important'- Pope St. John Paul II

With a 17th June resumption, the £340m, rebate owed to broadcasters will fall to £170m should all the matches be completed by August 2nd.   There would be nothing to pay next season with the debt repaid over the two seasons that follow.

The amount each club will have to pay will be equal but the Premier League will pay a subsidy to compensate for clubs receiving less TV revenue.

The BBC will be given the opportunity to broadcast live Premier League matches for the first time while 25 will be available on Sky's free channel, Pick.

The Premier League will not issue a rescue package to the EFL until its plans are in place for next season: https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/football/news/premier-league-chief-efl-package-18331587

Wolves get raw deal from FFP

As football finance guru Kieran Maguire has noted, Wolves continue to be constrained by financial fair play rules.  Radio 4 this morning described them as this year's 'crisis club' and the pessimists have certainly been piling in. Martin Samuel wrote sympathetically in the Sunday Times yesterday, saying that the Premier League drives talent away with regulatory red tape: 'Why could Al-Hilal sign Neves?

No. There is no suggestion that Wolves are in financial trouble, only that they are failing to meet the rigours of FFP. Wolves’ owners appear to have the money to run the club, and invest in the club, and in fact came up with a pow

Gold standard ground boosts Tottenham's income

The gold standard in European football grounds is the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in north London, a £1bn construction project completed in 2019. Its impact on the club’s finances has become increasingly clear as the effects of the pandemic have faded. Previously, the average fan would spend less than £2 inside the ground on a typical match day, but now that figure is about £16, thanks to new facilities including the longest bar in Europe and an on-site microbrewery. Capacity has gone up from 36,000 at the club’s previous home of White Hart Lane to 62,000.  The new stadium — built on land adjacent to White Hart Lane — has opened the door to a broad range of other events that have helped to push commercial income up from €117mn in 2018 to €215mn in 2022. Last year, Tottenham hosted US singer Beyoncé for five nights on her global Renaissance tour, two NFL matches, as well as rugby games and heavyweight boxing bouts.  Money brought in from football has gone up too. Match day income is
