So even though we finished 2nd we earned less than Man City and Liverpool because they were televised more

Liverpool televised the most....there's a shock

SlickMongoose · Jun 1, 2017

Only by a little. I'm sure we'll survive on a meagre £145m.

In our 15/16 accounts, we made £95m from TV & Media, so a pretty huge increase for everyone.

It's only a matter of time until English teams are dominating Europe again, the amount of money being generated is insane.

Crazy to think that many of our games are televised.

Its terrible that its that low, to be honest. Its crazy to think England doesnt have all English Premier League games televised/available to stream but the USA do. I think there was only 1 game I had to get through the streaming app because it wasnt on cable.

There's a shock. The only team, again, to challenge and on tv the same amount of times as one with the most poisonous fanbase.

Think these were skewed a bit from the start of the season as well mind, with all the fanfare around Mourinho v Pep. What a crock of shit that was.

This.

It's arguably a bit of a joke that we have to struggle so much to be able to see our team live every week when you consider that in the US, EVERY game for every team across every single sport is televised (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL). My mate is a big NFL fan (as am I) but he's not much of a footy fan and he simply can't understand why I don't get to watch every single game that Spurs play each week.

I was more comparing it to 15-20 years ago when the televised games wouldn't be any where near what it is today, but I see your point.

I find it odd that the TV money isn't shared among all the teams evenly. It's not like the top teams need the extra few million ££.

It's bollocks. It should all go in to a pot to be distributed evenly imo.

Blake Griffin · Jun 2, 2017

why should a team that's shown 10 times get as much as a team shown 30 times?

at least the money is still distributed somewhat evenly, unlike in la liga for example where madrid and barca take the majority while the others share out what's left.

It shouldn't be down to Sky and BT to effectively decide who gets the money IMO.

I think the Premier League should be praised for spreading it as evenly as they are,
it's looked at with envy from clubs outside of the top 2-3 in Spain, Italy etc.

talkshowhost86 · Jun 2, 2017

Anyway the more important question is why haven't we immediately invested this money in three 50m galacticos?

Fucking Levy.

Should it be them that decide who are on TV though, or should they be forced to show Burnley games?
Think we should be grateful that football fans dont decide who get the money cause that would all go to Liverpool and United then

Personally I think there should be an even spread of who gets games on TV.

If you only show the top teams, and they get more money, and that cycle continues, we'll end up with an ever increasing gap between the top few and the rest.

Whilst that might work for Spurs whilst we're in that top few, I don't think it's good for the game.

i think you're overestimating the gap in tv money.

the top team(chelsea) made a total of 150.8m whilst the bottom team(sunderland) made 93.5m. 36m of that 57.3m difference was due to their respective league placings, so the difference in tv money received was 21.3m - hardly enough to swing the respective teams' fortunes given the figures we're currently talking about.

Should we give equal prize money too?

No. The amount of prize money is dictated by the performance of the team throughout the season, not by a TV company.
