European prize money for English clubs

All four of England’s clubs in the Champions League got to the last 16 at least. Manchester City have gone all the way to the final, so lead the way with €127m, which is also the highest in Europe, followed by Chelsea, who earned €94m after making the quarter-finals.

Despite being eliminated in the last 16, Liverpool and Tottenham received €82m and €64m respectively.

Manchester City have earned the highest prize money to date of €62.2m, including €14.0m from the group stage, €9.6m for reaching the last 16, €10.6m for the quarter-final, €12.5m for the semi-final and €15.5m for the final.

Liverpool’s prize money was boosted by winning five games in the group, which was worth €14.0m (€2.8m for each win), plus €1.1m for their share of money left on the table after draws in the group stage.

The coefficient payment is based on performances in UEFA tournaments over the past 10 years, including a bonus for winning a European trophy. Chelsea were the highest ranked English club, as the Blues won both the Champions League and Europa League twice in that period.   As a result, Chelsea had the highest UEFA coefficient payment of €32m, followed by Manchester City €28m, Liverpool €27m and Tottenham €19m.

If Manchester City manage to win the Champions League, that would be worth another €4.5m in prize money, i.e. the difference in prize money between €20m for the winners and €15.5m for the finalists. That would bring their total TV money up to €131m.

Manchester United have earned €31m from the Europa League, despite their elimination by Sevilla in the quarter-final. In contrast to the Champions League, the largest payment here was the TV pool (€15.7m), followed by prize money €7.4m, UEFA coefficient €4.2m and participation fee €3.6m. Arsenal received €26m after only reaching the last 16.

West Ham have earned €21m after reaching the Europa Conference final, split between prize money €10.6m, TV pool €6.5m, participation fee €2.9m and UEFA coefficient €1.0m.  Winning the Europa Conference would be worth another €2m in prize money, i.e. the difference in prize money between €5m for winners and €3m for finalists. That would bring their total TV money up to €23m.

It's no deal say Spurs insiders over Taiwanese takeover

Senior figures at Tottenham Hotspur insisted on Friday that they had not been informed of any deal to sell Daniel Levy’s stake in the club. A business group, Eight Sports Capital — which is said to include a billionaire Taiwanese financier — claimed that it had an agreement in place to buy a 24.99 per cent stake in ENIC, the club’s majority owners, from Levy, who owns 29.88 per cent. The Times has been told Ng Wing Fai and Brooklyn Earick form part of the group, having both been linked previously to potential takeovers of the Premier League club. The Taiwanese businessman, Richard Tsai, is also said to be part of the consortium. He is reportedly worth £7 billion.  Last year Earick, the former DJ and tech entrepreneur, was part of an attempted £4.5 billion takeover, which was “unequivocally rejected” by Spurs.  An ENIC spokesperson said: “We can confirm that neither ENIC nor THFC are aware of any sale by Daniel Levy’s Family Trust of its minority stake in ENIC, THFC’...

Reports about Charlton sale exaggerated

Reports have appeared in The Guardian and elsewhere that Charlton has been put up for sale. Richard Cawley is an authoritative local journalist who runs a South London Sport substack site.  He reached out to the club yesterday evening to ask for comment on The Guardian’s article. Early indications from the club have been that nothing has changed since the story about them seeking investment, except that it is now a different company doing it. Charlton have since managed to consolidate their place in the Championship, avoiding an instant return to League One, with their women’s side promoted to the WSL, returning to the top flight for the first time since 2007, although staying there is likely to be costly. It would be counter-intuitive for owners Global Football Partners not to progress the club when looking for investment, that the focus remains on driving it forward, that their spend this summer is in line with long-term planning and will see an increase in wages spent on players...

Hull City's 'strange' loan

When football finance guru Kieran Maguire seems flashing lights in a club's loan deal, I become concerned.  He is the leading football finance expert in the UK. Hull City have borrowed £55m against their stadium and training ground yet they should get £30m from the Premier League before long.  What is going on? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpwel48y51do
