This website show the importance of finishing as high as possible, if we were to finish 9th then the extra money we get would pay Brady's transfer fee !

and this does not include foreign rights as far as I can see, which is another shared amount!

It does include foreign rights, but wherever we finish we will has received more money than Leicester got for winning the title last season.

Finishing mid table is worth an extra £20m, which basically covers Brady and Westwood if we were to finish there.

Club's finishing in the top 4 get an extra £40m, plus then the minimum £10m which comes from Vhampions League group stages alone. No wonder they go around throwing £40m+ on players.

Regarding Michael Keane as well, Everton will likely Finish 7th or 8th, so will have around £30m more than the bottom club, not Inc normal income streams. They can afford Keane at £25-30m.

It just shows how your club and squad can change from staying up for a season or two. Relating it to our neighbours, if they go down and we stay up then the pendulum would have swung full tilt from the 90's.

How much do you get for finishing 23rd in the championship (asking for a friend)

You get a free bucket of chicken from your local branch of Venkys.

The Championship clubs not in receipt of parachute payments wil receive approximately £5.1m per season in solidarity payments now, up from the previous £2.3m.

So that covers about a 1/4 of Rovers wage bill this season?

Yep. They'll turnover around £12m this season I'd imagine, although we won't see those figures until next year.

It's why we have to keep putting a bit away for a rainy day, because if we were relegated then we'd want to be able to compete at the top end for a few seasons.

To be fair we've seen this chart on several occasions since the new deal came into being from the start of the '16/'17 season. It basically confirms again that each place is worth an extra £2.4m to Burnley.

Looking at the bigger picture, adding in the matchday receipts and commercial income, if we finish 9th, there's a potential total income of £135 million which provides a fantastic base for the overall operating results to Jun'17.

Figures out recently confirmed that our last visit to the PL catapulted the club to a top five profitable situation throughout Europe and yet this season could conceivably see us contesting second or third spot. For a club our size that would be truly remarkable.

In terms of Blackburn Rovers, I think £14 million Turnover will be highly optimistic and they can look forward to a significant loss yet again.

What makes you think they will finish that high!

Its £2M per place, not £2.4M.

Should we stay up for a couple seasons the key to creating a long term sustainable top flight club is to grow our non-TV related revenue through commercial & sponsorship deal, match day revenue and smart transfer dealing.

Great for Burnley but it wasn't that long ago that we had a £6m budget for the Championship. Where would we be without those promotions? I dread to think.

It averages out higher than £2m, but I suspect that is as much down to increased number of TV games when higher up the league than anything else?

Stuff of nightmares

If you look at those distribution figures the single biggest element is the overseas broadcasting payment which is shared equally between all participating clubs - however there are some who have long called for that to be distributed "more fairly" or sold by clubs individually - this has been voted out in the past - but the recent resignation of Ian Ayre at Liverpool has highlighted that some clubs are still hankering for more.

Clubs need to be vigilant as they would be at a significant disadvantage if this desire was too become a reality
