They tend to feel more ambiguous towards it.<br /><br />On the other hand, clubs who win a Cup or are losing the final to Champions League qualifiers, like Swansea, Stoke, Wigan etc see it as a once-in-a-while/generation adventure which their fans would like to enjoy. They can greatly increase their profile across Europe by doing well in the competition, making their clubs a more attractive proposition for european talent.<br /><br />in my opinion, Champions League funding should be frozen at current levels until the Europa League funding is trebled. It has to be a competition which is financially worthwhile for the clubs to compete in. The winners should get as much as teams knocked out at the last 16 stages of the Champions League, whereas semi-finalists should get the same as those knocked out of the Group stages in third place and quarter finalists the same as those finishing last in their Champions League group.<br /><br />It would make the tournament vibrant and stop this never-ending spiral towards winners-take-all.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16009640036433422761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-15146613924125937852013-06-04T16:39:18.370+02:002013-06-04T16:39:18.370+02:00Great article, must have take you ages (the sign o...Great article, must have take you ages (the sign of a good article).<br /><br />With my FM hat on, its amazing to see how this data correlates almost precisely with the in-game finances.<br /><br />They match about 98% I reckon, in which case you could then use the same in-game knowledge to create even more awesome content on here!

The Europa lea...Great article. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />The Europa league gives a measly financial return for most teams considering the amount of extra games. Here are a few changes that I'd like to see:<br /><br />1. Stop Champions League teams parachuting into the Europa League. You lost, hard luck! This just seems like a giveaway to the Champions League elite and reduces the chance of the second tier teams of tasting some glory.<br />2. Reduce the number of games. Financial returns don't support beefing up squads. I'd love to see a return to the straight knockout over two legs. Give me back the UEFA Cup!<br />3. Reduce the prize money disparity between the Champions League and the Europa League. If the Europa League had more prize money, it would encourage teams to round out their squad more to support the extra number of games.

ManU should be very disappointed in this year's CL ... even though they earned more, a 22% increase would have put them on 42.9million, that's actually a 3,5million drop if they would have been equal to last year.<br />:) nice way to show something positive that's actually not really so. :)<br /><br />cheers.bartnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-60597190571399927402013-05-13T22:24:29.888+02:002013-05-13T22:24:29.888+02:00Always happy to see another of your posts pop up. ...Always happy to see another of your posts pop up.

That said, it looks like any reduction in broadcasting revenue is very small, e.g. Arsenal £0.5m down after 6 months, United £1.4m down after 9 months (though currency will also have an impact).<br /><br />If I did take €75m as the TV pool (which would represent a more than "marginal" 13% reduction on 2011/12), then Arsenal and City would still have higher revenue than last season, thanks to the higher prize money, while United would be about the same.<br /><br />In any case, this is good feedback, so I have added a comment in the article to highlight the assumption that the TV pool is unchanged.The Swiss Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423088862174893998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-487486960623783530.post-81865648233103805332013-05-09T02:10:46.652+02:002013-05-09T02:10:46.652+02:00I agree with Steven.
