Following their incredible exploits this week, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have reached the Champions League final, so we can now update our estimate of how much English clubs will earn from the 2018/19 competition #LFC #THFC #MCFC #MUFC
Due to the significant increase (around 50%) in Champions League revenue in 2018/19, all English clubs will earn much more than prior season (2017/18 comparatives in brackets). As it stands:

#LFC €107m (€81m)
#THFC €102m (€61m)
#MCFC €93m (€64m)
#MUFC €93m (€40m)
#LFC Champions League revenue is €107m for reaching the final, up from €81m last season.

Includes: participation €15m, prize money €56m, UEFA coefficient €23m and TV pool €13m.

If they win the final, they will earn an additional €4m, bringing their total to €111m.
#THFC Champions League revenue is €102m for reaching the final, up from €61m last season.

Includes: participation €15m, prize money €55m, UEFA coefficient €16m and TV pool €16m.

If they win the final, they will earn an additional €4m, bringing their total to €106m.
#MCFC Champions League revenue is €93m for reaching the quarter-finals, up from €64m last season.

Includes: participation €15m, prize money €33m, UEFA coefficient €24m and TV pool €21m.
#MUFC Champions League revenue is €93m for reaching the quarter-finals, up from €40m last season.

Includes: participation €15m, prize money €30m, UEFA coefficient €31m and TV pool €17m.
#MUFC revenue has been boosted by the UEFA coefficient, a new distribution method for 2018/19, based on performances in UEFA tournaments over the past 10 years.

On this basis, English clubs received following payments: #MUFC €31m, #MCFC €24m, #LFC €23m and #THFC €16m.
Also worth noting impact of TV pool: (a) half based on position in previous season’s Premier League; (b) half based on current season’s Champions League progress. So #MCFC 1st place in 2017/18 PL explains why they got more than #LFC and #THFC, even though they progressed further.
It might seem strange that the 2018/19 Champions League revenue for English clubs is relatively even, but this is because of the different elements, eg #LFC and #THFC have highest prize money, #MUFC the highest UEFA coefficient and #MCFC the highest TV pool.
Note that these 2018/19 Champions League revenue numbers are only estimates. Key assumptions: (a) English TV pool increases by 30%, in line with the new BT Sports deal; (b) this has then been split 1/3 TV pool, 2/3 UEFA coefficient, as per total prize money distribution.
However, what is abundantly clear is that the English clubs have really coined it in this season’s Champions League, due to a combination of good progress in the competition and the much higher prize money (plus a good history in Europe in the case of #MUFC).

Brentford’s financial results for 2017/18 covered “yet another season of consolidation and progress”, when the Bees finished 9th in the Championship under head coach Dean Smith, their fourth consecutive top 10 place. Some thoughts in the following thread #BrentfordFC
#BrentfordFC loss widened from £1.0m to £3.9m, due to “increased football related costs”. Revenue was stable at £12.7m, due to ”similar on-pitch performance and attendance year-on-year”, while profit on player sales rose £1.3m to £14.1m.
#BrentfordFC revenue was flat at £12.7m, as ticketing income fell £0.4m (12%) to £3.1m, offset by increases in commercial, up £0.3m (15%) to £2.3m, and broadcasting, up £0.1m (2%) to £7.3m. Other operating income dropped £0.3m to £0.2m.

Swansea City’s 2017/18 financial results covered a “difficult” season when they finished 18th, so were relegated to the Championship after 7 consecutive years in the Premier League. They had 3 managers: Paul Clement, Carlos Carvahal and Graham Potter. Some thoughts follow #Swans
#Swans made a loss before tax of £3.2m, compared to a prior year profit of £13.4m, representing a £16.6m deterioration, as revenue fell £1m from £128m to £127m, though profit on player sales was up £9m to £46m. After tax, the club went from a £13.0m profit to a £2.9m loss.
#Swans £1m revenue fall was very largely driven by broadcasting’s £4.7m (4%) decrease from £109.4m to £104.7m, due to less prize money for a lower league position. In contrast, commercial rose £3.8m (35%) from £10.7m to £14.5m, while match day was flat at £7.4m.

As the Champions League and Europa League reach the semi-final stage, I took a quick look at the latest available revenue and wages data for those clubs still in the competition. Some analysis in the following thread.
The Champions League has the “fairest” financial pairings, as it matches the clubs with the highest and 2nd highest revenues, then 3rd and 4th.

However, the differences are still huge: Barcelona £612m is £150m more than #LFC £455m; while #THFC £379m is nearly 5 times Ajax £81m.
It’s a similar story and nether Champions League with wages. Barcelona’s £431m (excluding other sports such as basketball and handball) is again over £150m higher than #LFC £264m, while #THFC £148m might be low for a leading Premier League club, but it is triple Ajax £47m.

A thread on why Roy Keane is the most underrated footballer in Premier League history, and one of the greatest Midfielders to ever play the game.
Never is Keane spoken of in the same league as Gerrard, Lampard, Viera etc. Despite dominating all of them during his career in most games where he faced them.

Most people see Keane as purely a hard man, who bullied opposition players into submission. Most people are ignorant.
Roy Keane was an outstanding passer of the ball. Not only that his reading of the game was exceptional. He encapsulated everything that defines a winner and a leader. A tenacious dominant force for Manchester United during the club’s most successful spell in its history.

One of the difficulties when you talk to have someone who has a lot to say and speaks so well is fitting it all in (and all the more so these days), so there's a lot that didn't make it. Thought it might be nice to share some of that from Santi Cazorla …
Recently someone asked me if I felt like an example/role model to follow, an inspiration. And I said no. I’m not an example to anyone there are a lot of problems in life much worse than mine. All I have done is battled to keep playing football.
I’m sure there are lot of people in my situation who have fought just the same or more than me but because they don’t play football or because they are not famous, people don’t realise. If this can help, I'm happy.

Lots of people have been asking me to clarify #LFC's financial standing and its position to compete in the transfer market. Is the money really there or is the club leading fans down the garden path?
In the 16/17 season/financial year, the club generated total revenues from broadcast fees, commercial and matchday income of £364m. Its operating expenses were £357m, but sizeable profits from transfer activities meant the total profit was £39m.
Transfer income and expenditure is dealt with on the balance sheet and not in the profit and loss account because players are classed as assets, and the balance sheet is a statement that sets out any company's assets, liabilities and capital.

I have a mug of black tea infront of me. I can feel the juices of creativity flowing. Its time I start Season 5 of my life story Thread.
It took two weeks to clear with my employer. It got heated at one point since the Capetonian wanted to scuttle my agreement with the owner. I had to call him to tell him what was going on. The guy backed off and stuck to the terms of my resignation.
By this time I was talking to everyone I knew about job prospects. Calling, sending emails, texting. Anything. Everything. I spent the Christmas holidays with my folks in the village. It had been years since I did this.
I went back to Dar, packed my stuff and moved to Nairobi
