The Premier League considers the championship decided and the 3 teams will be relegated. Liverpool only need 1 more point to be crowned while Ipswich are preparing to follow Leicester and Southampton back to the Championship.
The remaining remaining race now is looking for a European cup ticket. In addition to participating in the Champions League or the Europa League, each position on the rankings will bring a different amount, sometimes the difference may be equal to the price of a middle -class player in the transfer market.
Each Premier League position has an average bonus value of about 3 million pounds. This amount will be paid at the end of the season and tends to increase every year due to the increasingly expensive cost of TV rights. Last season, champions Man City earned 56.4 million pounds. All 20 clubs received nearly 176 million pounds.
The four teams that have reached the semi-finals of this season's FA Cup are Crystal Palace, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City, who could earn the most of 2.5 million pounds, in addition to the money they earned from the quarter-finals back. This shows how much the Premier League is in money compared to other domestic tournaments such as the FA Cup or League Cup.
Last season, the 8th place of Man United was worth £ 36.7 million. The kicking of the European Cup will help the teams have more money as soon as the tournament has not happened. Therefore, the Top 5 race and the European Cup ice tickets are always very intense. Also last season, the 8th team earned more than the 12th team of 11.3 million pounds. This figure is less than £ 13.9 million of the Aston Villa when this team reaches the semi -finals of the Conference League.
Nottingham Forest will have their biggest improvement in annual revenue compared to last season. The total prize money for the 2023-24 season of the home team at City Ground is 11.3 million pounds out of a total of 123.3 million pounds distributed from the Premier League. According to calculations, Nottingham's lowest position this season, September 7, also recorded an increase of 30 million pounds for Nuno Santo's team.
Last season, Tottenham received 45.1 million pounds for the 5th place. Currently, it is difficult for Angle Postecoglou teachers and students to lower the season at a higher position than 13. Although it is on the journey to conquer the Europa League, if it is not possible to win (with the Champions League ticket), Spurs will feel clearly about the deficit that comes from the amount earned in the Premier League.
The extra money from the Premier League position bonus may not be much for some clubs. However, as financial regulations are increasingly tightened, having a few tens of millions of pounds will help teams expand their spending a lot. For teams that are ambitious but struggling like Man United or Tottenham, this will be a disastrous season if they cannot win the Europa League.
