Spurs look to have expertly avoided any European distractions next season, so they'll look to emulate what Arsenal has done this year - including bottling it at the pointy end!
 
Derby day (Brazilian League). I’ve traveled 400mi to take my kids to the game.

Grêmio won 3-1. The first goal is awesome:

Maybe Ange will finally lead them to the promised land, although like Conti, he might think managing Tottenham would do damage to his reputation.

Luton Town will join Burnley and Sheffield United in the EPL next season after beating Coventry on penalties in the promotion play-off. Tonight's games will decide which two of Everton, Leeds and Leicester will join Southampton in the 'Championship'.

I read the other day that Luton's current home ground isn't compliant with EPL standards. They're in the process of building a new stadium, but that most likely won't be ready by the start of the new season, so they'll have to decide whether to spend some of their new EPL riches on doing a temporary upgrade to their current ground (and less on players), or share another stadium in the interim. I can't see the FA letting them have Wembley though.

Coventry - Luton 1:2

ENGLAND: Championship - Play Offs - Final
www.flashscore.com.au www.flashscore.com.au
 
On Sunday 3rd place Championship Divison team Luton Town played 5th placed team Coventry City for the so called richest game in world sport. It was a 1-1 draw but Luton won 6-5 on penalty shootout at Wembley in front of 85,000 people. Below is the explanation why the English Championship knockout promotion game is considered the richest single game in the world. Luton Town will be playing in the 2023/24 EPL season at their home ground that hosts 10,000 people.

The 1st and 2nd placed teams - Burnley and Sheffield United respectively get this sort of money, but they advance to the EPL without getting involved in a knockout game.

Its 3 v 6 and 4 v 5 over home and away legs, then the 2 winners then advance to the knockout game and the winner takes the 3rd promotion spot.

Merit Payment is based on where you finish on the ladder, the same extra amount for each position higher up the ladder you go, and Facility Fees is based on how many live TV games each club participates in and the minimum is 12 per club. Equal Share is the UK media deal monies and International is international media deal monies earned by the EPL.

Championship play-off final: How much is winning Premier League promotion decider worth? | Goal.com Australia

The Championship play-off final is sometimes dubbed "The Richest Game in Football" - GOAL takes a look at the prize of promotion to the Premier League and how much it is worth
www.goal.com

England's second tier reaches a tense climax when two teams face off for the ultimate goal of reaching the Premier League

The Champions League final may be the showpiece event for European football each season as some of the best sides on the planet lock horns, but it is not necessarily the most lucrative.

Away from the gaze of continental eyes, the Championship play-off final at Wembley is the most financially significant match. It may be the second tier of English football, but the prize awaiting the triumphant team is a place in the Premier League and with that comes all sorts of benefits.

Billions of pounds are distributed among the teams that compete in England's top division, with equal television payments in tandem with merit-based rewards ensuring a relatively fair spread of the wealth.

It is no wonder, then, that the Championship play-off final is sometimes dubbed "The Richest Game in Football". Here, GOAL takes a look at how much winning that fixture is worth.

How much does the Championship play-off winner earn?​

Winning the Championship play-off final and earning promotion to the Premier League is understood to be worth hundreds of millions of pounds, though it varies season by season.

In 2020, Deloitte suggested that victory in the play-off final could see an increase in revenue of between £135 million ($167m) to £265 million ($328m), depending on whether a promoted team can avoid immediate relegation.

Official figures for the 2020-21 season showed that broadcast revenue totalling more than £2.5 billion ($3bn) was distributed among the 20 clubs in the Premier League.

Of that, each club was guaranteed at least £31.4m ($38.9m) in equal share payments, £47.5m ($58.8m) in international TV and £5.9m ($7.3m) in central commercial payments: a base line of roughly £84.8 million ($105m) per team, regardless of position.

As well as that, clubs were given merit payments - ranging from £1.7m ($2.1m) for last-placed Sheffield United to £34.9m ($43.2m) for champions Manchester City - and 'facility fees' which depended upon the number of televised games they were involved in.

Victory in the Championship play-off final means that a team is catapulted into that exclusive money pool, giving them much greater spending power in the transfer market.

How does Premier League 'prize money' work?​

Exactly how much a team receives for competing in the Premier League depends on their success on the pitch as well as how often their games are broadcast live by TV companies.

For example, in 2020-21 Tottenham finished in seventh place but pulled in slightly more money overall than West Ham, who ended the campaign a spot higher in sixth. That is because Spurs were involved in 25 live UK games, compared to the Hammers' 22.

Of course, being a part of the Premier League elite also means that clubs suddenly find themselves a more attractive proposition for sponsors and they are thus able to compete for more potential revenue streams in that regard as well.

What are Parachute Payments?​

Even a thoroughly unsuccessful campaign in the Premier League will still yield plenty of money for the teams involved.

As well as broadcast revenue for competing in the competition, clubs who suffer relegation back to the Championship are given 'Parachute Payments', which are designed to effectively break the fall into the second tier.

These payments are a percentage of the equal share of broadcast revenue, which gradually drops over a period of three years - from 55 per cent to 45 per cent and, if the club was in the Premier League for more than one season, to 20 per cent in the third year.

1983 Libertadores Grand Final

I’m sorry, it’s in Spanish, but the commentary is hilarious!

Note that everything that happens was considered standard at the time. No one is surprised that the ballboys are gone, that players are freely bumping and striking each other, etc.

El Zorro, have you seen this? It’s amazing.

:p It's only funny if you understand the Argentinian commentary! Crazy times!
 
GremioPower I'll be in Sao Paulo for a few days for work in a couple of weeks. I have Sunday off, what should I do while in town?
 
In post # 3344 I show the Premier League's official 2021/22 Payments to clubs. 2022/23 wont be out until end of June - early July but several UK media organisations have done their estimations and this is the most common split. Its why Goal magazine I quoted from in that post above, talked about the knockout game being worth at least £135m, as there was a decent jump in media rights and revenue between 2021/22 and 2022/23, so that bottom team will go from earning £100m to £128m.

Based on last season’s figures, extracted from information published in a number of club’s financial results, and with an extra layer factored in on account of increased TV revenues, here are the estimated totals of what each Premier League team earned in 2022-23.
