West Ham 8th highest PL prize money earners for 2015-16 at £85,765,168
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3606538/Arsenal-Premier-League-prize-money-table-club-make-100m-Aston-Villa-pocket-66m.html

Arsenal top the Premier League prize money table as they become first club to make over £100m... and even Aston Villa pocket £66m!

Leicester City's 5,000-1 miracle Barclays Premier League title win made them globally famous but Arsenal are on top of the 2015-16 prize money table.

Official figures released on Tuesday show the Gunners have pocketed almost £101million - or £100,952,257 to be precise - from the Premier League's central funds.

Manchester City were the second-highest earners, making £96,971,603, followed by Manchester United (£96.5m) and Tottenham (£95.2m), with Leicester in fifth place on £93.2m. The lowest earning club, Aston Villa, earned £66.6m, the biggest sum ever for a bottom-placed club.

http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/05/24/11/349079B900000578-0-image-a-22_1464087305529.jpg

Our table breaks down the component parts for each club from official figures released on Tuesday showing the pay-outs to teams

The money comes primarily from the Premier League's huge TV deals but also includes a share of the league's central commercial income for each club.

Our accompanying table breaks down the component parts for each club.

Arsenal's money was made up of £23,605,000 'merit' cash for finishing second in the table, £21,496,762 in 'facility fees' for being in so many live TV games, plus equal shares of the domestic TV deal, overseas TV deals and commercial income from the league's sponsors, such as Barclays.

Every club then receives £1,242,405 per finishing place in the table, from that sum for bottom-placed Aston Villa to £24,848,100 to winners Leicester.

Each club also gets a variable amount depending on how many times they were shown live on Sky or BT. Every club got a minimum of £8,782,088 from this pot, even if they were shown as rarely as Watford and Bournemouth (just eight live televised games each), or Norwich City and Stoke City (nine times each).

Arsenal were shown live in the UK most, 27 times, followed by Manchester United (26) then Manchester City (25), Liverpool (23) and Chelsea (22).

Sky and BT Sport paid £3.018billion between them to show Premier League matches live in the UK across three seasons from 2013-2016

For 2015-16 every club gets an 'equal' share of £55,849,800 derived from domestic TV income, overseas income and commercial income combined, with specifics in our graphic.

Clubs have three main revenue streams: match day income (from tickets, corporate dining etc), media income (of which the payments announced on Tuesday are the largest but not the only part) and commercial income (from kit deals, sponsorship, merchandise, tours and so on).

Sky and BT Sport paid £3.018billion between them to show Premier League matches live in the UK across three seasons from 2013 to 2016 inclusive. Foreign broadcasters around the world paid another £2.23bn combined, on top, for the same period.

The prize cash will get bigger in future. The domestic deals will rise from £3.018bn to £5.136bn in the three-year period from 2016-17, and the foreign deals will climb from £2.23bn to £3bn-plus.

The ratio in Premier League earnings between highest earners Arsenal at the top and Villa at the bottom in 2015-16 is 1.52 to one. This is the lowest ratio in the history of the Premier League since 1992-93 and a much lower ratio – and therefore 'fairer' split of TV money – than occurs in Europe's other major leagues.

In Spain's top division, where Barcelona and Real Madrid take the lion's share of the TV cash because they do their own deals and don't sell rights collectively (yet), the equivalent ratio is around eight to one.

In Italy's Serie A, the ratio is about five to one, in France's Ligue 1 it is about 3.5 to one, and in the German Bundesliga it is two to one.

Ten former Premier League clubs have received 'parachute' payments this season, so-called because they are meant to help with a soft 'landing' in the lower divisions after relegation. The details are in a separate table and range from £25.9m to least season's relegated clubs Burnley, Hull City and QPR to £10.5m to the clubs relegated three and four years ago and yet to return: Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers, Reading, Wigan Athletic and Wolves.

In the Premier League's first season, 1992-93, the total prize pot including parachute payments was £37.5m. Manchester United were top earners back then, making £2,413,660. Middlesbrough, the lowest earners, made £1,063,135.

This season, £1.81bn has been given in prize money (£1.64bn) and parachute payments (£172m) combined.

Next year with the new TV deals kicking in, the club finishing bottom of the Premier League will make about the same as this season's highest earners Arsenal.

just thought i'd even it out. A bit unfair, if they reduce the price of some seats and not others.
is £168 a hospitality seat?
If so , someone will pay it, if the owner doesn't want it.
It's called capitalism baby

So 10m on top of last year is 130

Including the extra ticket sales (Europa league no KFAQ) extra sponsorship is prob 140m

Easily above Everton and Newcastle now by ourselves behind Spurs in the revenue table!!!

So we earned £86m in prize money this season and will receive £100m odd from TV from etc PLUS the savings from not having to run a football stadium anymore and we're still charging up to £168 for a SINGLE Juventus ticket.

Not sure how we got 'screwed over'. We finished 7th and we're 8th in the prize money, big deal.

As for Goon, it's hardly surprising. They were top of the league over the busiest domestic period of the season and were also involved in European competition meaning they're more amenable to Sunday kick offs.

I don't think there's any great conspiracy there

Or there are more people out there interested in liverpool and Man Utd games than West Ham's because of their history.

By the same token, there are more people interested in WH games than Swansea and Stoke....

Football is big business these days, and as sad as it is to say it if someone else's product is deemed better then they will get more attention. I think this could be one of the reasons why G&S were keen to get away from Sam's style of football and bring a manager in who knows how to play good attacking football.

So we get screwed over as they don't want to put us or Leicester on the TV.

So it is down to the people in charge of the TV that control who gets the money .. So they are always going to favour the big boys.

NETBET RATE WEST HAM AS PUNTERS MOST PROFITABLE PREMIER LEAGUE SIDE

Online gambling firm NetBet cast an inquisitive eye on the 2015/16 Premier League season and came to the conclusion that West Ham were the punters best friend.

The 2015/16 English Premier League (EPL) season was a fairytale. It was the great seducer of those who had forgotten what is was like for the underdog to end the season chewing on a piece of steak.

Leicester City, the 5,000-1 outsiders, were the EPL Champions. Jamie Vardy exchanged a bone for the Football Writer’s Player of the Year award. Hollywood script writers are turning the biggest upset in sporting history into a fricking movie.

But can history repeat itself?

According to the bookmakers, that answer is a big fat no. Leicester is not likely to be the 5,000-1 outsiders they once were ever again, but at 25/1, nobody thinks they have a camel in hell’s chance of defending their title.

But we can dream.

Let’s push aside our love for Leicester a moment and consider who could step into their Nike Mercurial’s should they find the fight on the Champions League front a tad difficult?

I fancy West Ham.

They are 100/1 for the title.

I like those odds.

If they can keep hold of Dmitri Payet, Manuel Lanzini, Cheikhou Kouyate, and add to the squad. They will be a force next season.

Why do I rate West Ham so highly?

They know how to beat the big boys and I will let online gambling outfit NetBet to explain why that’s so important.

West Ham – Every Punters Favourite

Football is a religion. Players are Gods. The Saturday morning stroll to the bookies is akin to Sunday morning prayers. NetBet data crunchers wondered if a punter placed a £10 winning bet on their favourite EPL team each week throughout the 2015/16 EPL season, who would have netted you the most profit?

I kind of gave it away with the title, right?

It’s not Leicester.

It’s West Ham.

A £10 weekly bet on Leicester would have netted you a £246 profit by the end of the season, but West Ham fans would have beaten that with a £364 profit. West Ham managed it by beating the big boys in their own backyards in some of the greatest upsets of the season.

Arsenal (13/1), Man City (11/1), and Liverpool (9/1) were some of the reasons West Ham were the best bet for loyal punters.

At the other end of the table, Aston Villa fans would have been £270 out of pocket. Chelsea (£145.90) and Everton (£124.80) were also shocking value. All three clubs dealt with that anger with an axe blow to the back of the head of their managers (Villa lopped off two heads).

Only nine teams would have netted you a profit. Runners-up Arsenal would have netted you a £59.50 loss because of their performances against the weaker sides. It’s the biggest reason they finished the season empty handed.

Here is NetBet’s profit and loss league

Top Club Profit/Loss (£)
1 West Ham 364.50
