[Albion] 9th place finish anyone?......

[Swansman]

Are we doing this again...

No, the schedule is too tough and Brighton wont come 9th. Probably not even 11th.

Generally lots of teams - arguably all twenty - are involved in how the league table will look, better just to look at the win+points total and hope the season will be record breaking in that sense.

9th place? Show some ambitiion man!

After yesterday, I've got my map of Europe spread out on the dining room table again.

Champions League as all we have to do is arrive at the AMEX on time to get 6 points from Bumley and Villa...

I dare to dream about punching the air when we surpass or equal our highest ever all time finish of 13th.

Yes we can finish 9th in the Top league.

I hope you are punching the air.

Wow what a day.

Love it.

I hope someone asks him on air soon.

Unbelievable to think that the only teams to finish above us are the established Big Six plus 2 others.

Massively punched above our weight this season - and the most ridiculous thing is I'm sitting here thinking that after 38 games we were only a few stodgy performances away from a 6th place finish that really wouldn't have flattered us.

 

[Eeyore]

17th will leave me content.

I'd love to know what's going on there right now then

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Good stuff.

Finishing 9th is the best result in BHAFC history.

Love it.

Used to be football fans would dream when things went well, however unlikely the dream was. Now it seems curmudgeons are waiting in the wings to mock, even after a fabulous win, quite sad.

Most of us know our place, some seem to like to constantly remind us of it ,even in the good times.

Curmudgeons lost 1-0 - sweet

So officially 9th best English team - that’s wonderful and I’m delighted. But let’s be honest we were better than that weren’t we?

The difference in prize money is eye opening, no wonder the gap at the top is always wide.
Finishing 9th instead of 15th has paid for Undav and his wages!!

Considering we were 13th at one point today and to end up 9th has also gained us £8.8m in the course of the afternoon.

Position Prize money
1st £44 million
2nd £41.8 million
3rd £39.6 million
4th £37.4 million
5th £35.2 million
6th £33 million
7th £30.8 million
8th £28.6 million
9th £26.4 million
10th £24.2 million
11th £22 million
12th £19.8 million

16th £11 million
17th £8.8 million
18th £6.6 million

As you may have spotted in the table of prize money, Premier League clubs receive an extra £2.2m for each position higher up the table.

Aside from sporting prestige, the greatest incentive for clubs to reach for and stay in the Premier League remains the vast TV money on offer.

Half of the TV jackpot is split evenly between the clubs, which gave each side around £84m during the 2020/21 Premier League season.

A quarter is used as prize money — officially called merit payments — and a quarter is divided up according to various factors, including how often clubs have appeared in televised games.
