£85,027,727 in premier league payments but only in 7th place.

[bag a yoko]

The champions Manchester City earned £96.5m last season, according to figures published by the Premier League, a sharp rise from the £60.8m Manchester United earned from winning the league a year ago.

In fact, Cardiff earned more from finishing bottom of the Premier League than United earned as champions, the Welsh club receiving £62.08m for finishing 20th this term.

The league's new £5.5bn broadcast deal was behind the increase in payments, with second-placed Liverpool the top earners on £97.5m, a consequence of more of their games being screened live by broadcasters.

Each club's payment is made up of 50% of UK broadcast revenue which is split equally between the 20 clubs; 25% of it depends on where the club finishes in the final league table; and the final 25% comes from fees each time a club's matches are broadcast in the UK.

Extra £33m than last season and with a healthy profit after player trading over Summer/Winter, I'd be very disappointed if Martinez wasn't given the majority of this to improve the team.

Potential turnover approaching £120m if marginal increase in attendances, catering, merchandise sales are taken into account.

Premier League football suddenly becomes an attractive proposition.

& the price the board value us at will also increase like it did before, didn't they up the price based on projected earnings that meant a buyer wouldnt see the increase in profits, a kind of tell you waht give us what we said before plus all that you'll make in the next 2 years.

Between us, them and man city there was the most exciting attacking football being played in the league.

People always want to watch that. That style will bring massive rewards on and off the pitch.

I was initially a big believer that all the extra TV money would piece by piece be swallowed up by wage increases. However the Premier League has wage bill growth restrictions built into its version of FFP.

The 20 club chairmen agreed to two significant controls - to limit players' wage bills from next season, and longer-term measures that will restrict the amount of losses clubs can make to £105million over three years.

Clubs whose total wage bill is more than £52million will only be allowed to increase their wages by £4million per season for the next three years, though that cap does not cover extra money coming in from increases in commercial or matchday income.

The effect of the financial controls should prevent hugely wealthy owners achieving the almost-overnight success of Chelsea and Manchester City.

Any club breaching the rules will face tough sanctions - and Scudamore said they would be pushing for points deductions.

Scudamore told reporters: "As all things in our rulebook you will subject to a disciplinary commission.

"The clubs understand that if people break the £105m we will look for the top-end ultimate sanction range - a points deduction.

"Normally we stay silent on sanctions as the commission has a free range but clearly if there is a material breach of that rule we will be asking the commission to consider top-end sanctions."

Scudamore said there would be an "absolute prohibition" on clubs reporting losses of more than £105million over the next three years with the first sanctions possible in 2016.

Of the 20 clubs in the top flight, only Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool have reported losses of more than £105million over the last three years, according to the most up-to-date published accounts.

Scudamore said that the measures would mean it will take longer for benefactor owners to achieve success - but that it would still be possible.

He said: "The balance we have tried to strike is that a new owner can still invest a decent amount of money to improve their club but they are not going to be throwing hundreds and hundreds of millions in a very short period of time.

"While it has worked for a couple of clubs in the last 10 years, and I am not critical of that, if that's going to be done in the future it's going to have to be over a slightly longer term without the huge losses being made.

"I think at £105million you can still build a very decent club with substantial owner funding but you have to do it over time, you can't do it in a season."

Chelsea won the Premier League two years after Roman Abramovich's takeover, and Manchester City's title success came three years after Sheikh Mansour's takeover."

Any club making any loss of over £5million a year will have to guarantee those losses against the owner's assets.

"In some ways that's the most significant part, this is a three-year rolling system of secure funding - it's one year at the moment," added Scudamore.

The ceiling when the wage increase restrictions kick in will be £52million next season, £56million the following year and £60million in 2015-16. Only seven of the current top-flight clubs would be under that ceiling at the moment.

West Ham's co-owner David Gold said that the proposals for controls had received backing of the majority of chairmen.

He said: "We have all voted and it was overwhelmingly supported, not by all the clubs - some are a little concerned - but the vast majority of the clubs voted in favour.

"It's not a salary cap, it's a restraint on over-spending. If clubs increase their revenues then they can increase their spending.

"We have got restraint, that's the important thing. What's driving the whole thing is we've got to avoid another Portsmouth."

Considering City's average wage is over £5million a year there's not a lot of room for growth from the TV money. Clubs will have to fund any further wage increases once they hit the caps by using matchday, ticket and commercial revenue.
