City hit the TV rights Jackpot

21 May 2013 17:07
Huge new broadcasting deals mean that, even if Mackay cannot keep the Bluebirds in the top tier, they are in line to scoop a staggering jackpot.

Malky Mackay could net a big windfall from the Premier League broadcasting rights
Cardiff City’s promotion to the Premier League will see them top the £60m TV windfall that Manchester United earned this season – even if they finish bottom of the table.
New figures have revealed champions United pocketed a record £60.8m last season as they romped to another title triumph.
It is a glimpse into the future for the Bluebirds in terms of the kind of finance that will now flood into their coffers following their Championship glory under Malky Mackay.
Huge new broadcasting deals mean that, even if Mackay cannot keep the Bluebirds in the top tier, they are in line to scoop a staggering jackpot.
The Premier League is close to finalising its TV contracts which will see a total of around £5.5billion in broadcasting rights for the 2013-16 period – some £2billion more than the current deals.
The league champions next season can expect to earn close to an eye-watering £100million while the bottom club, which this season was QPR, can expect their earnings to go up from £39.8million to around £63million.
The kind of TV money Cardiff can hope for is also highlighted by the £47.58m banked from broadcasting by rivals Swansea City, taking their TV total to almost £93.5m in just two seasons at the top level.
The Premier League distributes its TV money in a way that sees half of the total cash from the domestic deals divided equally between the member clubs, and all of the overseas broadcasting income also split equally.
A further 25% of domestic TV income is split as merit money depending where each club finishes in the final league table, and the final 25% paid in ‘facility fees’ for each time a club’s matches are shown on television in the UK.
For that reason, Arsenal and Tottenham both earned more than Chelsea despite finishing below their capital city rivals in the table because both the north London sides appeared in more live TV games.
Under the 2010-13 deal, which expired this season, each club received a £13.8million equal share each season plus £18.9million from overseas rights.
Clubs were further guaranteed a minimum of £5.78million for live TV and highlights appearances, a basic 10 games with Swansea one of eight clubs to receive the minimum number of live games.
Manchester United earned the most from these facility fees, totalling £12.9million from 25 live appearances.
Some £88million was paid out in parachute payments to clubs relegated over the last three seasons.

Is it time to get rid of our owner?

I'm assuming you're talking about buying him out, as opposed to bumping him off, so how many millions of pounds will you be able to contribute towards buying him out then?

Not sure, What is he asking?

He hasn't asked, but as you asked your question, I thought you had a sensible plan for once?

I was obviously wrong!

My plan is to secure the clubs existence by getting rid of our flighty owner now. with two years prem payments we could pay our debts and survive.

What is your plan? Buy danny Wellbeck for a year, get relagated, and when our owner gets bored and walks away, will you stand up and take the blame for backing Tans spending?
