How much did Leicester make this year through staying up?

Premier League money is crazy, great if you are there though... but a struggle if you are in the leagues below

Would imagine we'll be on tv a lot more next season too given our escapades this season

Actually it was £68.7m

Much less than that. All those clappers will have hit the owners hard....

Who ever comes up next season from the championship is gonna have their finances unbelievably transformed. All clubs will know the importance of staying / getting on the gravy train asap.

You can be sure the big 8-10 championship clubs who consider themselves sleeping giants will be praying this is their year!

This is just television money revenue; expenses are another story.

 

BTW do clapper expenses count towards FFP?

they should do!

As the money goes up the threat of relegation grows exponentially.

 

Average players become increasingly expensive (we've already see this will McCulloch valued at £8m) and the pool of clubs able to take expensive flops or raid relegated clubs becomes almost infinticimally small.

 

The calibre of player we'll be able to attract won't actually increase, their price and wage will.

According to this article (http://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-wage-bills-club-by-club/) our wage outlay for 2014-15  was  £36.6m.  Compares favorably against £68.7m in TV revenues alone, not even counting other club sources of income (tickets, concessions, merch, etc).

 

I suspect (and also hope) there is a tidy bit of profit in there somewhere...  I would like to see our current owners stick around for a bit.

I really hope NBC wins the rights again because their coverage is spectacular.

Do you get the same footage, replays that we see on Sky or match of the day?

Also what commentary is it, someone at the ground or just someone talking in a studio, then a couple of pundits before, after the match?

Pretty sure it's always the same footage and replays during the match.

I think the match highlights that we can watch online are the same too. Match of the Day is different though.

 

For the featured match, the commentary is done at the ground by Arlo White and Graeme Le Saux or Lee Dixon, who will talk before and after the match too with the team in the studio.

For the matches on "Live Extra", we get the same during the match, audio commentary as you'd get in England.

 

For in-studio coverage, we have Rebecca Lowe, Kyle Martino, and the 2 Robbies (Robbie Mustoe and Robbie Earle), and sometimes they speak with Gary Lineker.

Half-time for the "Live Extra" matches is interesting. We'll get highlights from last week's matches, highlights from a historical game (often of some rivalry) with recently done commentary to provide background, a little preview for the two team's matches next week, first half stats, and first half highlights.

 

They also put out these "Download" documentary specials every so often.

And, on Monday nights there is the Men in Blazers Show, which is simply the best (but is also crap).

Cheers for that Firefox, always wondered what it was like, I thought the footage would be the same as it's effectively coming through Sky, or the company filming it and shooting it up via those van satellites in the car park.

Half time live extra sounds different.

Likewise, pubs in town etc, I asked someone the other week what it was like when we score, as being at the games you don't experience that. He said the pub goes up, beer everywhere.

looking at that amount it really isn't that much in the premier league. especially with everyone going to be spending to survive next season to be in for the 16/17 season and when the TV money will expand by such a vast amount.

£68m in prize money but how much went on transfer fees/wages/upkeep/promotions etc?

granted ticket sales are going to help there but doesn't seem that much to me.

By my, admittedly, very rough calculations we are looking at least an additional 16mil over the season from ticket sales.

A basic season ticket will equate to £22.50 a game, about £520k per game when you sell 23000 of them. 8000 general admittance tickets a game at 35 quid nets us an extra £280k. So 800k a game over 19 games is 15.2 mil, plus ofcourse extra for cup games and the more expensive season tickets, corporate hospitality etc. so not an insignificant proportion of our wage bill

The NBC coverage we see on streams is very good I have to say.
