Exactly how much Cardiff City earned in the Premier League this season


How much money the 20 clubs earned has been released

The Premier League have announced how much money each side has earned from broadcast and commercial revenues this season.

Despite finishing second behind Manchester City, Liverpool received the most and collected more than £152million, while reigning Champions City earned just under £2million less.

Manchester United received just over £142m despite not qualifying for the Champions League, which was also more than Arsenal, who finished one place above the in the league table.

While at the opposite end of the table, bottom side Huddersfield received just under £97m, second-bottom Fulham collected just over £101m, and Cardiff earned more than £102m from their season in the top-flight.

The Bluebirds' exact final figure is £102,704,107.

The figures are based on the value of payments of broadcast and central commercial revenues which clubs have received for this season.








How is the money worked out?

Every single year, the Premier League’s prize money is divided equally among its 20 clubs.

Each side takes home an equal share of the £80.4million total - no matter where they finished in the league.

The rest of the prize money is decided on where your team finished and, ultimately, how well they did in comparison to their opponents.

For league positions, each side is awarded an extra £1.9million for every place they finish above the foot of the table.








Cardiff City will receive over £12mill from overseas TV rights :bluebird: :bluebird:

Overseas TV rights are shared out equally between the 20 teams.

However, the domestic TV money is distributed differently. Half of it is shared equally (in the 2016/17 season, that was around £35million per club), a quarter is handed out based on finishing positions and the remaining quarter on what are known as facility fees.

Facility fees are at least £12million and are based on how often a side is shown on live TV. The £12million is on the basis of being selected for broadcast 10 times in a season. For each fixture over 10, an additional £1.2million is added.

A pooled commercial revenue pot pays out £5million per club.

It just goes to show, the board and Tan aren’t stupid. I seriously believe they learned a lot from the last stint under Malky. This go with Warnock was premature and an amazing achievement given the humble squad we got promoted with. I am actually glad that we didn’t throw a massive budget at Warnock last summer. Look at Fulham expenses and the hard choices they’ll be faced with this season. We are in a much better position moving forward. No need to sell assets, a bit of cash injected now and Warnock will have the top Championship class squad to move on for a 9th promotion!

Yes I hope the club and Tan bagged a load of cash to steady the ship. A few choice signings now and we go again :bluescarf:

Last time in the PL we actually made a LOST of £13.6m. Turnover that season was £83m but we spent £96m!

It is hard to believe we spent anything near to £96m this time although if we take that as a ball park measure the club could have made between £40-60m from one season in the PL!

Agree with you that we should have made a fair profit this year. Probably more like your lower figure but still a great springboard along with the parachute payments to allow us to invest at least 20 million in players next season to give us a great chance of getting back at the first attempt. And if we can get rid of a couple of our duff buys maybe a bit more.

Just wondering with all this money flowing about, should we be pushing the boat out to get a striker like
Gayle, or do we stick with looking to sign someone from Portsmouth
for 2 million in the hope he can give us 20 goals in a season,
Something we where lacking all this season was a top quality striker and that's why we where relegated
A lack of goals.
A lot of people said at the start of the season we are not going to pay silly money for a striker
but i think it was a mistake not to and also, to wait in the transfer market whats the rush
you have to pay for quality unless your scouts can spot a bargain on the continent.

we were relegated because we did not posses enough quality throughout the squad. goals contribute along with many other things..but ultimately its points not goals that keep you up or get you promted eleven 1 nil wins and 4 nil-nil draws would have done the trick this season just gone..
iu watched the majority of our games last season and didn't see much in the way of created chances being missed tbh..whoever played up top would have had to work their nuts off the same as the strikers we already have..

DOGFOUND
the so called strikers we had where not doing it be fair patterson's not a striker, madine 6 million,no goals, zohore non descript, the one striker we had b reid, who scored 27 goals before we signed him spent most of the time on the bench
the wingers who we played holliet murphy crossing balls to nobody, so most of the time the wingers where trying to score themselves
So i was hoping this season we get somebody that can put it in the
net when its delivered

i never missed a game this season
And watched lots of times when our quality finish by people in the box was poor and i am adament a quality striker would have put the chances away and also perhaps if we possessed an out and out striker we would have played to his strengths

Hearing our wage bill jumped to about 40 million, if you add gate revenue and all that comes with an average crowd of 30,000 then a healthy season no doubt. We must be almost debt free now. If not, what’s the point?

They will only receive two years of parachute payments as City only stayed up for one season.

£45m for 19/20

£35M for 20/21

Very positive, however will have to wait for the next set of figures that dictate expenditure over the same period. Wouldn't expect there to be much left in the kitty for the forthcoming season.
