Martin Lol Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 That's how much Newcastle got for their Uefa Cup run. Hardly worth the effort. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/sport/football.html?in_article_id=466020&in_page_id=1779&ito=newsnow The four English Champions League qualifiers each got £3,646,272 for being in the group stages, while Tottenham earned £2,917,724 for their 10-game run. Arsenal received the lowest sum due to their fourth-placed Premiership finish in 2006 and their failure to progress beyond the last 16. However, they still received £10million more than Tottenham. The inequality highlights the gulf between the Premier League's top four, who consistently qualify for the Champions League, and the rest. Perhaps the most damning statistic is that Levski Sofia made £3,755,587 from losing all six Champions League group games, around £500,000 less than Sevilla got for winning the UEFA Cup. Champions League prize money AC Milan (winners) £26,721,694 Chelsea £23,394,444 Liverpool £21,744,696 Manchester United £21,282,373 Arsenal £13,008,610 UEFA Cup prize money Sevilla (winners) £4,219,587 Tottenham £2,917,724 Newcastle £303,758 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gazza ladra Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The strange bit about that list is that Chelsea made more than Liverpool, which reached the final. Is this because they finished higher in the Premiership? That really doesn't make sense. Why should league position factor into Champions League prize money?

Guest gggg Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Not in terms of money but in terms of coefficients it's fantastic, if we get in the champions league in the next 2 years we'd be seeded in pot 2 with a great chance of getting to the knockout stage.

Lloydie Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Plus the money on the gates, the marketing etc. I think a homegame is worth about a million? Although the UEFA ones weren't sell outs and the prices were lower, but still, not chump change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 It seems very odd that there is such a large gap in prize money between Spurs and Newcastle when Spurs only progressed one round further ie Quarter finals rather than last 16. I've got doubts whether that information is right, but if it is, I'd be interested to know the reason why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got doubts whether that information is right, but if it is, I'd be interested to know the reason why. my thoughts - it's bollocks if you ask me. It sounds like a load of sh*te. We were on TV (full length live coverage) every round - Spurs were not. We only played in one less round (in fact in the same number of rounds if you take into account Spurs 'bye'). The "prize money' for one extra round cannot be that different either (?) It is just "typical" of the Cockney-based (so called NATIONAL) media to 'just' accept this junk (obviously wrong) and to publish it (obviously wrong) without seeming-question. If the shortfall was about a Cockney club (eg Tottenham 'overhyped' Hotspur) they would have either queried it or just not printed it. For us - they just "accept" it at face value, without bothering their silly Cockney grey-cells. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE ACTUAL REAL "NATIONAL NEWSPAPERS" IN THIS COUNTRY. ANYONE THINK WE WILL EVER GET ANY?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never made an anti-Newcastle comment, never mentioned Spurs. Simply copied and pasted the Mail's article. How you interpret that is your problem. Incidentally, I did look around the Uefa site to see if I could verify the figures, I couldn't find anything, maybe you can. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Does anyone actually give a shit though about how much money we took in? we all knew it was hardly anything worse talking about. Also yeah Spurs may have got more but the difference is they are stupid enough to spend what they earn on ridiculous fees such as the one for Darren Bent.

Also yeah Spurs may have got more but the difference is they are stupid enough to spend what they earn on ridiculous fees such as the one for Darren Bent. That is not the point. The point is (largely) about parochial (non-thinking/automatic) Cockney-based journalism - in a NATIONAL newspaper. (That is my point, anyway). We know the figures are wrong, why were they published without query? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tomi Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 The figures are correct (sadly). Check Page 8 and 9 here In addition to these payments, the quarter-finalists received a sum depending on the value of their national market and whether they qualified for the semi-finals.

DJ_NUFC Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Of course it fucking matters how much we earned. If you don't think it does I suggest you get a look-in into what's gone on in European football for the past fuckin' ten years. Let's hope ManorPark's inquisitiveness brings us some answers. Partisan newspapers is the least of my worries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
