Untold riches

A reminder of just how much money is available in the Barclays Premier League next season and what is at stake for clubs who are relegated.  

Clubs will receive an average of £120m compared with £80m this season.   The top club will receive £150m and even the bottom club will be paid £100m.   This is, of course, before revenue streams from ticket sales, sponsorship and merchandise.

When the Premier League started it earned around £50m a year or just over £2m a club.   It has been a steady rise in income since then, the only exception being the 2004-7 period.
