ian1964 10,514 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) A team that competed in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season is likely to receive a minimum amount of €7.1m according to the revenue distribution system in place for the 2009/10 campaign. Group-stage dividends Each of the 32 clubs in the group stage will receive a participation bonus of €3.8m plus a match bonus of €550,000 per group game played. On top of this, performance bonuses will be paid: €800,000 for every win and €400,000 for every draw in the group stage. Knockout rewards From there, the 16 teams that reached the first knockout round will each collect €3m, the eight quarter-finalists €3.3m apiece, and the four semi-finalists €4m each. The winners of the final in Madrid on 22 May will pocket €9m and the runners-up €5.2m. It follows, then, that any side winning all six group-stage games would be entitled to €11.9m, a figure that would rise immediately to €14.9m because that side would be qualified for the last 16. Distribution model This season a fixed amount of €413.1m has been destined for clubs in the UEFA Champions League from the group stage onwards and in the UEFA Super Cup. FC Barcelona, as winners of the 2009 UEFA Super Cup, picked up €2.5m and runners-up FC Shakhtar Donetsk €2m. UEFA's distribution system is based on a projected figure for the gross commercial revenue created by the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League and the 2009 UEFA Super Club. UEFA encourages all clubs to adopt a prudent approach in budgeting anticipated income. Solidarity payments Some €55m has been allocated exclusively to the UEFA Champions League play-off round, meaning each of the 20 clubs participating in the play-offs could expect a fixed amount of €2.1m. As in the 2006-09 cycle, €10.3m will also have been reserved for solidarity payments to teams eliminated in the qualifying phase of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. Media and commercial Seventy-five per cent of the total revenue from media rights and commercial contracts concluded by UEFA, up to a maximum of €530m, will go to the clubs. The remaining 25 per cent will be reserved for European football and remain with UEFA to cover organisational and administrative costs and solidarity payments to associations, clubs and leagues. Sharing of additional revenue Eighty-two per cent of any revenue in excess of €530m will go to the clubs, with the remaining 18 per cent benefiting UEFA and European football as explained above. Furthermore, 6.5 per cent will be deducted from the gross share of participating clubs for distribution to clubs not participating in the UEFA Champions League or UEFA Europa League but from leagues with one representative or more in the UEFA Champions League play-offs or group stage. Market pool The estimated available amount for the television market pool – €337.8m – will be distributed according to the proportional value of each TV market represented by the clubs taking part from the group stage onwards. A given national association's share will be split between its participating clubs according to these clubs' performances in the previous domestic league season and also in proportion to the number of matches that each of the teams plays in the 2009/10 UEFA Champions League.

ian1964 10,514 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 So according to this Rangers earned about €21m ?. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Does that mean we should make a 7 figure profit? Say 10M? So split that evenly between the debt and new players... Shows how much we need to win the league again to get the last automatic qualification to the CL for a Scottish team for a long time. If 3 Belgian teams still in Europe do well, we could be looking at one team in the CL qualifyers the season after next, and at the 2nd qualifying round. If they get knocked out then we retain two teams - one that the 3rd qualifying round and one at the 1st non champions round. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian1964 10,514 Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Borrowed from another forum: Gers Cash Boost Rangers, the financially struggling champions of the Scottish Premier League, received more than €30 million from participation in this season's Champions League, despite exiting the competition after the group stage. Rangers, who benefited from the fact that rivals Celtic failed to qualify for the competition's group round, received €7.9 million in prize money for group stage matches - despite failing to win a single match. Rangers recorded just two draws in the group, and suffered a humiliating loss against Unirea Urziceni at Ibrox. The team secured a point in the return fixture, as well as away in Stuttgart, but did not win a single one of their three matches in Glasgow. The €7.9 million is far from the only financial gain Rangers will receive from the competition. According to a study commissioned by MasterCard, Uefa will make additional payments to group stage teams dependent on the commercial success of the tournament, which the report suggests could amount to approximately €12 million per club. The study also suggests ticket revenues have generated an average of €8.55 million in income from the group stage, with commercial and marketing revenues accounting for a further €6 million on average. All told, Rangers have collected well over €30 million from participation in the competition. That money could prove vital to the club's future, after a season so far dominated by headlines of financial woe. Rangers are far from alone in the Scottish top flight in facing such problems - the collapse of Irish broadcaster Setanta last summer left a huge hole in the league's revenues - but their dificulties have been more publicised than most. Manager Walter Smith will work without a contract from next month as the club's majority shareholder, Sir David Murray, tries to sell his stake in the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
