Great news! Now English clubs will be able to buy more quality players, and be more competitive.
Meanwhile, La Liga has sanctioned a ban on how much money the first two teams in La Liga (in other words, Real Madrid and Barcelona) can earn after a season from TV rights. Madrid/Barca can't earn more than 4 times the money of the bottom place team in La Liga from now on.
Previously, Granada reeled in 12 million Euros last season, while Real Madrid reeled in a staggering 140 million Euros. This will make sure that the money evens out to something like,
Last Place team: 31 Million
First Place team: 122 Million
Okay, so it's still not at the level it should be, but it's an improvement from before, that's for sure. The 1st place EPL team will earn, according to AlexBatak's data, 1.56 times the money that the bottom-place team will earn. It is policies like these which keep the EPL the most competitive and evenly distributed (in terms of both cash and talent) league in the world.
A domestic rights deal will see the table-toppers scoop a huge sum from the start of the 2013-14 season.
PREMIER LEAGUE WINNERS WILL GET £97.1 MILLION WINDFALL THIS SEASON
The winners of the Premier League this season will receive a staggering £97.1 million in TV income, according to projected figures compiled by the governing body.
All 20 Premier League clubs are in line for a huge hike in revenues for the three seasons from 2013-14 when the new global and domestic TV rights deals kick in.
A paper circulated to the clubs at the Premier League shareholders meeting last month, details estimated that sales from the UK rights were £3.291 billion, an increase of 57 per cent from the current figure of £2.102 bn.
This will be topped up by revenues from the overseas broadcasters, with the total package worth an incredible £5.213 bn, an increase of 46 per cent from the current £3.562 bn.
Premier League chiefs were told at the meeting on November 15 that, although the sales process had not finished, the estimated figures “were a considered and informed forecast based on sales and expressions of interest to date”.
The 2013-14 title holders will be the first beneficiaries of the bonanza, with the annual distribution to the highest-placed club rising from £64.5m to £97.1m.
By contrast, the distribution to the bottom club in the league next season will rise from £42.5m to £61.9m.
Overseas income is shared out on an equal basis between all 20 clubs, while income from domestic rights is allocated according to a sliding scale based on league position and the number of appearances on TV.
This will only make the EPL much bigger, stronger and more interesting than it is. The results of this year’s matches showed how big of an impact this does on strengthen every club each year.
