The #LUFC Breakfast Debate (Tuesday 24th January)

A possibility too I don’t have access to your inside info though Doc. Don’t think anyone has

 

He played a strong team against Cardiff in the replay because he needed a win. The money is neither here nor there at this point of the cup. Its around 100 grand for 3rd round winners.

It was an easy home win and one he needed for the team to build a bit of momentum. Winning this Saturday is a must too as winning is a habit.

 

If we are that desperate for money, then I don't think the total prize money of winning the fa cup for any team that starts at the 3rd round proper of approx £4 mil, is going to make much of a difference to any premier League club.

Add in whatever you get from gate receipts and TV appearances then you are probably looking at around £15 mil in total, so surely this should be considered a bonus as opposed to the basis of the clubs financial model

The team that wins this year's FA Cup will be given £2m for winning the final alone, up £200,000 on what Liverpool were awarded for doing so last year.

In total, adding up the prize money they'll receive at each stage, the victors will pocket around £3.9m assuming they entered in the third round.

That sum would be slightly higher if the winner plays outside the top two divisions and thus competed in the first two rounds as well.

 

What about the gate money i read accringtons and they made under £3 because they have to pay visiting teams hotel fees if wanting an overnight stay. Luckily they won and survived to play Boreham. So the winners prize money is a lifeline for them.

 

The cups a great financial lifeline for clubs outside the pl but a pittance for pl clubs compared to their other earnings

 

And I agree, it's a lifeline to any league 1 club and below and even some championship clubs, but if we as a premier League club are so desperate for income that we need to have a good cup run, then something fundamentally is wrong

 

Hope Accrington win tonight and Leeds ask for no fees Saturday. Plus our supporters would not have to travel to that cesspit darn sarf.

 

Winners are grinners mate.

 

I know the away team get a good chunck of the gate money too but not sure if that's after expenses.
This being on the TV will bring them more revenue, no idea what they get though.

 

Don't be upsetting Essex

 

Get either of these over the line, then its been a great window

 

At least another £20m looks like being spent well done Radz and Co getting on for £70m this window

 

The Harrison to Leicester rumours seem to be gathering pace

 

So that's why his performances were improving

 

Still no left back though

 

I’m nowhere near Boredom Wood Shaks and Forza Towers is a lot nicer than Accrington ffs

 

Wouldn’t be first time that ever happened. Ever notice how some players turn ****e after signing new contracts

 

do you wear orange tan..
