West Ham earn £85m for seventh place finish

|

money_in_footballWest Ham earnings from TV rights have topped £85m this season. The Hammers received an equal share of UK TV rights worth £21,968,793 which all twenty Premier League clubs get, next comes an equal share of Overseas TV worth £27,757,371 plus another equal share of £4,932,630 from the commercial  central pool.

The Hammers had 15 games broadcast live on UK TV earning them a further £13,162,740 in facility fees.  Finally, each club earns a merit payment based on their finishing position. The seventh place merit payment gets another £17,428,572.

Add that all up and the seventh place position earns the Hammers £85,250,106. We must now want to see if Manchester United win the FA Cup to keep our European dreams alive.

West Ham picked up £76,339,564 for finishing twelfth last season so it is a significant financial improvement of over £10m.

    Should get us a couple of good forwards that can put the ball in the net,
    And a good defender to play along side ogy

    More to the point how did we manage to lose to that Stoke team, we battered them for most of 90 minutes they have 3 shots on target and score twice… one goal would have been prevented if we had a proper defensive midfielder and the other if Collins was playing instead of Reid who was half asleep in the middle of defence in a position he is not suited too. That being said we can’t be accused of not giving 100% just very unlucky. If we miss out on Europe we should sue the FAPL for cr@p referees that have cost us 15 points and a 2nd place finish this season.
