"If you want some accessible but informative insight into football then I suggest you couldn't do better than the Political Economy of Football website, which is not only intelligible but comes with the added bonus of being written by Addicks fan Wyn Grant." Ben Hayes - Charlton Athletic programme

Prize Money is the amount of dosh Premier League Clubs receive based on their final finishing position – it is more usually called the Merit Award and comes from a pool of money derived from the broadcasting income the EPL receives.
With thanks to PEF reader Basil who helped put the 2007/08 season figures together.
Liverpool headed the list of the Top 10 Money Earning Clubs in the 2004/05 running of the UEFA Champions League. They were the champions that year (winning for the 5th time when counting the European Cup as the tournaments predecessor) whilst runners-up AC Milan came third in the table, pushed down by Chelsea who earned more via broadcasting revenues.
Four English clubs were in the top ten table, two German and one each from Italy, Spain, France and Holland.
Clubs received money according to their
position in the league table at the end of the season. This was called the
‘Merit Award‘ and still existed as of 2010.
