I’d like PIF to set up an expensive invitational tournament that we get invited too every season. Bring a red top a long so it’s legal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted Wednesday at 15:34 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:34 This is the most annoyed I've been about any of the financial imbalance. I guess it's better than a Super League, but completely ridiculous all the same. Chelsea and City are going to walk away with £50m+ without even trying and very likely quite a bit more. @JacobsBen BREAKING: FIFA confirm the Club World Cup winner will receive $125m. - Participation prize pool is $525m. UEFA entrants to receive the most, and a variable fee based on ranking and revenue. Range is $12.81m-$38.19m. Chelsea, Manchester City, Real and Bayern to get top end. - Conmebol clubs will receive circa $15.21m to enter, Concacaf, CAF and AFC ones $9.55m and OFC teams pocket $3.58m. - There is a further $475m for sporting performance. This covers win bonuses for each game/round, which will be the same for every club. The breakdown of finances is based on sporting performance is: Group Stage: $2.0m per win and $1m per draw. Round of 16 qualification: $7.5m Quarter-Final: $13.125m Semi-Final: $21.0m Finalist: $30.0m Winner: $40.0m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted Wednesday at 15:46 Share Posted Wednesday at 15:46 Honestly think we're justified in running another Sela Cup, except for a £20 million prize for the winner. It's fucking grotesque that Chelsea are going to bailed out by this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i said when it was first announced, because its an invitational competition (rather than something anyone can qualify for) its now open season for clubs/owners to make their own events with mega prize pools.

Haz Posted Wednesday at 17:57 Share Posted Wednesday at 17:57 Would this be the appropriate Thread for someone to explain to me why Amanda Staveley and husband left the club. Did she fall or was she pushed? Please explain it to me like Im five years old? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted Wednesday at 17:58 Share Posted Wednesday at 17:58 It’s a bit of guesswork, some people may know more but I think it is pretty much consensus that they were pushed but not in a super aggressive way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted Wednesday at 18:23 Share Posted Wednesday at 18:23 (edited) Stavely and Merhdad couldn't afford to keep investing at the rate PIF/Reubens were so their stake would have been diluted. They sold up and then the other owner funds were injected. All quite amicable and above board I thought. They made some money out of it and everyone's better off at the end of it I think.

WilliamPS Posted Wednesday at 20:49 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:49 FIFA have always been envious of UEFA basically controlling elite club football through the CL, this is just a greedy attempt to get even more money. Really the European clubs should have shot this down to protect their players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago Hilarious that Inter Miami "qualified as host." Can't see through that one FIFA. The only good news about this is it's going to annoy Liverpool / Man United / Arsenal / Spurs as much as it does us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
