So will the £16M pa parachute payments that Pompey, Hull, Burnley and the three relegated Premier League teams will qualify for next season

Indeed that will.

However, when looking at an income of say 20m, paying 15 players 10 grand a week only works out at 7.8m call it 10m assuming we will pay the tax man, and that means some reasonable players.

Now add a decent manager to the mix to get the best out of them and that revenue whilst nowhere near that of some others looks OK to me, especially compared to that of Withdean in League 1.

That's madness, £50k for winning the championship!

That won't even cover the players' bonuses I imagine!

Professor Cashmore backs Football League TV cash payout

BBC Sport - Football - Professor Cashmore backs Football League TV cash payout

Midlands Late Kick Off talks football finance with Ellis Cashmore, professor of culture, media and sport at Staffordshire University. Professor Cashmore believes Championship clubs deserve to receive 80% of the Football League's broadcasting cash, leaving League One clubs with 12% and League Two clubs receiving just 8%. And he says that if you created a new game called Association Football in the 21st century, the blueprint would be that England could only sustain 20-25 clubs, rather than 92.

Brilliant. Professor CASHMORE.

True but then there is a huge finiancial reward just for being in the Prem.

 

[Shropshire Seagull]

What about the shop and merchantise - must add to the coffers ....

Very true, apart from the tv revenue and bigger gates what financial benefit does the club gain from promotion from league one??

Anyone fancy taking a stab @ what funds will be available in the summer transfer window? Any guesses as to how much we will be able/willing to spend?

As we have been looking to sign up a £1M striker recently, and given that Gus has talked of strengthening with about 7 new additions, I would hazard a guess at a total spend of around £2.5M - £3.5M.

Too much? Not enough?

I'm sure I heard or read somewhere recently that if promoted, we will have the 5th or 6th highest budget in the championship, using this season as the blueprint.

Might have dreamt it though

 

[armchairclubber]

The prize money for winning the 1st Division would seem to be pretty insignificant (£25,000 has ben quoted).

I may be being optimistic but if we were to sell on average another 4,000 programmes at each home game with a £2 profit on each, that brings in nearly £200,000 extra over the year, just on programmes.

The extra revenue from 20,000 attending the stadium every 2 weeks, particularly with the bar and catering facilities looking like they are going to be quite varied, is going to be colossal.

Fortunately these teams usually "waste" that, paying the wages (or paying up the contracts) of the Premiership contracts they signed in the past. I'm struggling to think of teams that have genuinely used these payments to their advantage.. West Brom possibly ?

Wasn't Pompey's payment spent ages ago ?

It's not as simple as the more we sell the more we make.The more Indians you have means the more chiefs you need to control the Indians.

But we don't have any Indian players?

This season's definitely but relegated teams get a total of £48M parachute payments - £16M for each of the first seasons then £8M for the next two.

I think Blackpool said at the end of last season that they will adopting the same business strategy as West Brom - ie seeking to re-invest some of the SKY money and not spending it all on increased revenue costs.

Isn't the supporters bar open 7 days a week? i'd imagine a large number of students would use it given the proximity to the uni.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

15000 STH @ ave 425 = 6.375m

That's way in excess of the real income from STHs.

For a start, it ignores the fact that Seniors, Under 18s and Under 10s get heavily discounted prices. And, for seconds, it ignores the VAT liability.

The most expensive seats in the ground (Adults in West Stand Lower) are paying £595 a season. That's about £495 after HMRC have taken their cut. The expensive West Stand Upper tickets are about £383 +VAT. The cheaper ones are about £330 +VAT (the same as North Stand adult season tickets). Under 10s in the Family Stand are paying just over £80 +VAT.

My guess is that season ticket income to the Club will be much closer to £4 million a year than £6.375 million.

Paying tax is optional for football clubs isn't it?
