West Ham is set to earn almost £121m in TV money this season after finishing in 13th place in the Premier League.
Starting the day off in fifteenth place the Hammers could have lost £4m or gained £10m in merit payments for finishing between 17th and 10th place. They moved up two places this afternoon after the 3-1 win over Everton earning them another £4m in prize money
Every Premier League club gets £84.4m as an equal share made up of domestic rights, overseas rights and central commercial fund.
The Hammers are set to earn £15.4m for finishing in 13th place as a merit payment plus an additional £22.1m for 18 Sky/BT appearances this season as classed as facility fees.
Total £120.9m for 2017/2018 season
According to West Ham Vice-Chairman Karren Brady our wage bill has now reached £105m for the 2017/2018 season.
West Ham earned £119.3m last season for finishing in 11th place and having 15 games televised with a wage bill of £95m for 2016/2017.
So don’t waste it on moyes hugil and evra players wages and fees. Board now asking for season ticket sales I don’t think that will go well until moyes replacement is in and the pot of gold is given to a top coach
The problem is David Sullivan giving out the ridiculous contracts.
Reid -6 years on 75k, Evra 75k, Hernandez 125k , Harte 100k, then you have the better players on small contracts.
Its time to stop wasting the money, also get £1m a year back from Brady.
Its time to get a negotiator like Levy, they average 60k a week and look how many top players they can afford vs us.
The days of spurs paying £60,000 are long gone. Three rod their players earn over £100,000 per week and many are in the seventies, eighties and nineties.
Spurs wage bill was £127m in 2016/2017 and is thought to be in excess of £150m this season.
While they fare better than arsenal with £200m let’s not kid ourselves that can resist the trend to pay players more.
