So nearly half our games were on tv?! Wow, it REALLY doesn't seem like we were on anywhere close to that much!

I think the amazing thing is the likes of doncaster and yeovil and clubs like that. Poor and struggling to get by every season and bouncing between leagues. The make a blackpool esq push into the premier league one season and their finances will be absolutely sorted overnight. that's why i tend to root for the smaller teams for promotion rather than the Leicesters and Blackburns

Is this figure solely for games shown within the UK or is it international?

Understand banking and you will understand why "doncaster and yeovil and clubs like that. Poor and struggling to get by every season and bouncing between leagues" will, from now until some 'reset' (revolution?) button is pushed, be in such "struggling" straits.
'Banking' (a.k.a. money creation out of thin air a,k.a. economic counterfeiting) has moved into football. It has already bought every other intrinsically valuable/tangible item (real estate, energy and other mineral resource, taxable infrastructure etc etc). And football?: football is a dalliance to the money enfranchised - a pastime- a hobby.
The post war experimentation with social egalitarianism is well and truly over (since 22/11/1963?).
In summary: the rich will get richer ...and the poor will eat their peas.... and they'd better be grateful for such small mercies!
Thus endeth Socioeconomics 101.

Aye but what i mean is the inflow of cash once recieving promotion for a club like them would really help htings, especially if they steady themselves on little money like stoke did when they came up.
the problem will be when you have a championship full of teams who have been to the top league and back and find the money they depended on is none existent in this league.

'Tough cheese' the money embroidered will say to that. We are already starting to see a financial polarisation in the EPL. I suspect a breakaway of Europe's 'elite' (i.e. rich) clubs into their own competition will occur within half a generation. Hell, never-mind Doncaster and Yeovil, mighty Everton might be lucky to get into the television monied cabal.

You know what , i kind of agree with you on that. I do believe there is a massive gulf between 5 clubs in the premier league and ourselves downwards.

lol don't disagree Tommye...Al Bundy was NEVER highbrow. But this thread is about money/finances so perhaps Al should stay in his shoe storethis thread..............
It's not far off double what we got last season. So yes. It's £25 million more than United got last season, too.

Do you think Howard got a reduction in his saves after this fantastic season. I highly doubt it.
just shows what self promotion and hyperbole does to you, why efc need to be more outspoken on the size of our club etc.

Welcome back Wayne
This. There is no doubt that Sky and BT have us in the 'only show them when they are playing the sky top 6' category.....it's a disgrace
