Who's in the Champions League money?

Manchester City and Real Madrid have earned the most prize money in the Champions Leagueto date with €27.9m apiece. They got €16.8m for winning all six group games (6 x €2.8m), €1.5m for their share of the draws money plus €9.6m for reaching the last 16.

They were followed by Bayern Munich €25.8m, who registered five wins and one draw, Atletico Madrid €23.6m (four wins, two draws) and Arsenal €22.7m (four wins, one draw). Three clubs have trousered €21.8m (four wins), namely Barcelona, Porto and RB Leipzig.

Red Star Belgrade had the lowest prize money of just €0.9m, as they only managed to produce one draw. Interestingly, Celtic earned the same amount as Manchester United with €4.0m, as both clubs had one win and one draw.

The highest TV pool payments are to Paris Saint-Germain €35.1m, followed by Lens €27.5m, which might be a bit of a surprise for some. The reason is that they have benefited from the French TV pool only being divided between two clubs, whereas other countries have to spread this money among many more, e.g. Spain had five representatives in the Champions League this season.

Aston Villa also won their European Conference group to make it through to the last 16, earning €13.8m. This is split between participation fee €2.9m, prize money €3.5m, UEFA coefficient €0.8 and TV pool €6.5m.  This is pretty good for UEFA’s junior competition, though it is largely driven by the high British TV pool.

Spain has once again done well financially, which is fair reward for four clubs reaching the last 16. Real Madrid have earned the most in Spain (to date) with €93m after winning all six games in their group, though Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also coined it with €87m and €81m respectively. However, Sevilla and Real Sociedad were a fair bit behind the “Big Three” with around €51m apiece, albeit for different reasons.

It has been a disappointing, coefficient damaging season for England, as only two clubs got through, following the failures of Manchester United and Newcastle United, one perhaps with more mitigating factors than the other.

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’...

Hull City's 'strange' loan

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

Fulham cost the owner £1.4m a week

Things have changed a lot at Craven Cottage since Tommy Cooper was chairman.  Fulham are arguably London’s poshest club.  As their chief executive has said, Fulham supporters turn left on the plane.   I remember going there some years ago and was placed next to home supporters who were wearing suits.   The club also experimented for a while with having a section for ‘neutral’ fans. The following analysis draws on the latest report from the Swiss Ramble.   The accounts are now a year old, but as the forensic analyst observes from his Zurich lair, the business model remains much the same. i.e, the amount the owner has to shell put would consume all my non-property assets in five days. Under Silva, Fulham have established themselves as a solid Premier League club, losing their tag as a “yo-yo” club. Before the arrival of the Portuguese coach, on the previous two occasions that they were promoted to the top flight they had failed to avoid an immediate ...
