West Ham can take their Europa League winnings to around €2.5 million with a victory in Belgium tonight (Thurs) which will of course have bought them Craig Dawson LOL.
Should they beat Genk it will of course be their fourth win in the competition and with the earnings for each win in the group paying €630,000 it will have seen them reap a total €2,520.
It’s a great start for the Irons who could also easily become group winners which would see them land another €1,100,000 and two more wins two more wins take their total to around £5.8m.
As group winners which look more than likely right now they would move into the round of 16 and set themselves up for the cash-rich later stages.
From there the prize money is: Quarter-final: €1,800,000. Semi-final: €2,800,000. Runner-up: €4,600,000 and were they to win the competition another €8,600,000 comes our way.
There’s a fair old way to go of course but beyond the prestige involved, the cash available is a huge incentive for Moyes and his men.
