    Cardiff earn more TV cash than champions did in 2013

    Bottom club Cardiff City earned more television cash in the 2013-14 season than Manchester United did for winning the Premier League a year earlier.

    A three-year broadcasting deal in place from the start of the season saw each Premier League club's revenue increase.
    Premier League's TV bonanza

    £3.018bn over three seasons from 2013-14 to 2015-16
    An increase from £1.773bn for the previous three-year deal

    United earned £89.1m in 2013-14, but the £60.8m they picked up as champions 12 months prior was beaten by Cardiff, who received £62.1m.

    Champions Manchester City earned £96.6m behind top-earners Liverpool (£97.5m).

    Liverpool picked up 1.57 times more than bottom earners Cardiff but the ratio is the smallest in any of Europe's top leagues - Premier League television revenue is distributed in a more competitive manner than in other major leagues on the continent

    Sadly that's where the equality ends - the enormous amount of money swilling around in the PL just doesn't get fairly distributed (in my opinion) down the leagues where there are teams going to the wall for the lack of £300,000 - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26627401
