Chelsea’s Premier League title success earned them
£99million in total prize money according to official
figures - the most ever earned by a single club in one
season from central funds.
The precise eye-watering sum was £98,999,554, made
up of £24.9m ‘merit’ cash for finishing top of the
table, £19.98m ‘facility fees’ for being in so many live
TV games, plus equal shares of the domestic TV deal
(nearly £22m), overseas TV deals (£27.8m) and
commercial income from the leagues sponsors, such
as Barclays (£4.4m).
Manchester City were second in the table and are
second in the cash league with £98.5m, but
Manchester United are the next highest earners
(£96.8m) despite finishing fourth because they were
live on TV more than third-placed Arsenal, who are
fourth in the money table with £96.5m.
The 20 clubs involved in the 2014-15 season will split
£1.6 billion in league cash for the campaign, from
Chelsea at the top down to the lowest earners, QPR,
who take £64.9m for finishing rock bottom. This is the
biggest sum ever earned by a bottom-placed club.
The amounts paid to each club are detailed in the
accompanying table.
The merit money is split depending on finishing
position, with QPR getting £1,244,898 finishing in 20th
place, and the clubs above getting that sum multiplied
by the number of places they finished above QPR, up
to Chelsea’s merit money of £24,897,960 for first
place.
Every club receives at least £8,775,160 in facility fees,
even when they were not shown as many times as
the minimum 10 games they were supposed to be on
live TV during the season. Burnley, Hull and Leicester
were shown only eight teams each live in the UK, for
example, and Stoke only nine times.
For every game above 10 games, clubs get an extra
£746,176 per game. Manchester United were shown
most often in live games, 27 times, and made £21.5m
from facility fees. Manchester City were shown next
most often, 26 times, with Chelsea, Arsenal and
Liverpool being shown 25 times each.
