    A new TV deal could be worth up to 100 million pounds to LCFC if we stay in the prem next season according to the Merc. We could get a estimated 7 mill per televised game. How we really need to become an established prem side.
    With all that cash we will have no problems strengthening the squad & extending the capacity of the ground.

    There´s alot of ins & outs with SKY & BT having to bid for this that & the other, but it´ll only be good news for us as we´ll get a nice windfall. JUST NEED TO FINISH ABOVE 18th.

    Doesn't really give us any advantage over the other Prem sides who will get the same, and we are't exactly getting much extra from televised fixtures, if anything we are losing out over most other prem teams.

    That may well be true, but it will give any relegated a team a hell of an advantage the following season while chasing promotion.

    You've come up at a good time, you have a good manager, you owners aren't bonkers, your squad has a great continuity, there's a lot of things to be happy about. Above 18th should not be too much trouble.

    Until the maths says so, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

    Your team have done phenomenally well though - when your manager and half your first team left, I have to admit I was one of the majority of people that thought you'd struggle this year.

    Good luck and see you all at the KP later on in the season.

    You're gaining an advantage over every club that isn't already in the Premier League, the gap will become massive and an increase in the TV money from £67 to £100m is massive, the TV money is distributed based on a minimum number of games allocated, whether they are shown or not, it's only over a certain amount of games(I think it's 6), that you actually get any extra money for televised games.
