http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 have been handed a lifeline as the Canebiere side will have a good part of the TV rights distribution thanks to their notoriety
For every club, the distribution of TV rights is a major headache as the budget for next year and the allocation can’t be finalised before this. However, there are rules for each team to pocket its income.
A fixed portion of an amount should be allocated to the transfer and should breakeven with the revenues of last season. Then, a chart of financial progress of the last five years also needs to be made keeping in view the TV rights distribution of each year.
For Olympique de Marseille, a club that’s embroiled in a serious financial crisis, TV rights offer a respite. In terms of notoriety, Marseille are one of the biggest clubs in France which is why; Les Phoceens will have a lion’s share of the deal.
Ranking of the reputation of clubs varies from one broadcast to another. This year’s ranking has starts from where the teams stood at the start of the 2007/2008 campaign and concludes with the current year.
Despite a woeful and abysmal season, Marseille have won the prize of being the most popular club in France.
With a total of 98 appearances in the last five years, Marseille will pocket Euros 18,276,978 to be precise which is way ahead of the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 and Paris Saint-Germain who will be getting 15,762,101 and 13,611,219 respectively.
However, it should be noted that PSG will be looking to make most of this as they will have a broadcast of 20 games. the rich boys from Paris will be catching up on lost time and courtesy of the millions of euros invested by the Qataris, PSG will become a more sound marketing product than the other sides in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899.
Despite a title in the offing, Montpellier Herault rank ninth in the TV rights list. The Heraultis are on the way of becoming popular. At the bottom, it’s none other than Dijon who pocket a mere 787,929 euros.
However, Marseille president, Vincent Labrune should consider himself fortunate as OM seems to be a safe bet for broadcasters.
