The highly priced buyouts within the English Premier League clubs and their earnings
The extravagant buyouts, the big spendings and highly lucrative deals are what we all know English Premier League best for. It is by far the biggest league in terms of capital investment.
At least £37m will be given to each team in the Premier League through TV revenue. This is almost the double of what was generated during the 2007-10 seasons. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Total-c40747 back then was £625m. The price tag is now a hefty £1.2 billion which will be generated
over the next three years. As compared to the other European leagues, EPL generates around 10 times more than Germany's Bundesliga, five times what http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 receives and three times the amount Spain's La Liga earns.
Surprisingly, or may be not so, EPL has the most fair spread of earnings generated from television rights.
It has the smallest difference between receipts of the champions and the lowest ranked team. The top team receives 1.6 times more than the bottom most team gets. The differential is far greater in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011 where TV rights are negotiated on club to club basis.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 earn nineteen times more than the other participating teams in La Liga.
Each position on the table is worth £752,000. The top club receives £15.04 million while the bottom club will at least receive the £752,000. Clubs also generate revenue through facility fees paid out to them every time they play a live TV match. The fee
is £485,000. Therefore, even if a club has played less than 10 live games it will at least earn £4.85 million.
A study carried out before the recently concluded season revealed that the Premier League clubs negotiated a combined deal of almost £100 million. This is a record deal by any standards currently prevailing in the game. The report was submitted by Reporting
Intelligence. The previous record was set by Germany’s Bundesliga for the season 2009/10. The top clubs in EPL with the highest sponsors are Liverpool (£20m per year contract with Standard Chartered), Manchester United (£20m per season with Aon) and Tottenham
Hotspur (£10m per annum with Autonomy). There are at least seven clubs that have deals worth at least £1 million. As per the industry figures, these deals amount to 2%-10% earnings for the clubs.
But http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Miller, who carried out the study, said, “there was an increasing chasm between the haves and the have-nots." He also pointed out that, "It shows how successful the English top flight is when firms will pay such huge sums for their brands to be
seen in stadiums and, crucially, on television around the world."
Some of the biggest grossing deals have been:
1. Manchester United and Nike - £302.9m over 13 years
2. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adidas-c38219 - £100m over 10 years
3. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 and Fly Emirates - £100m over 15 years
4. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bank-c38601 - £81m over four years
5. Manchester United and Aon Corporation - £80m over four years
Since these English clubs generate high revenue they are able to attract the best of players at prices that most other leagues are unable to afford. As pointed earlier, there is huge disparity between the top and bottom earning teams in all other leagues.
The prices between intra English Premier League clubs seem to be higher as compared to buyouts from other leagues. Liverpool’s purchase of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-c22528
Piazon moved to Sao http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 from Chelsea for €7.5 million and Ahmed Elmohamady was bought by Enppi from Sunderland for a meagre €2.5 million.
With the way current trends are and the earnings at stake, the spendings in the English Premier League will only increase.
