Current Sky Deal/money

[HH_is_back]

Sorry to be a pest but I am curious as to the current deal in place. I was having an argument with a mate in the pub who insists that the Old Firm get the exact same money as Aberdeen, Motherwell etc from Sky. I told him thats a load of Derek Whyte and the Old Farm get a lions share.

 

 

Who is correct and does anyone have any figures in relation to the distribution of the Sky dosh??? All help very appreciated.

don't know exact figured but Old Firm get 80% between them. Other 20% is distributed evenly between 10 clubs so 2% each compared to 40% each for rangers and Celtic.

The OF get close to 40% each and the other 10 split the rest.

Isn't the Sky money distributed based on league finishing position - ie 1st gets approx

[dundee_red]

Think half the money gets equally split at the start of the season, with the other half distributed at the end of the season based on league position.

 

+ How is commercial and broadcasting revenue distributed between SPL clubs?

All revenues generated by the SPL are effectively put into one pot. A support payment to the SFL and parachute payments to recently relegated clubs are then deducted from that pot. All associated costs of running the SPL are also deducted.

 

 

 

The remaining amount is split two ways to the member clubs: 48% is divided equally between all 12 clubs while 52% is distributed to teams dependent upon their final league position. The higher up the table that a club finishes, the more money they will receive.

Very different answers so far and this is what happened last night in the pub!

Cheers Dundee!

[Tord31]

shocked if its as much as 40% each to them.

 

was under impression 1st and 2nd took one third of the pot

[NorthernLights24]

1 - 4% + 13% = 17%

2 - 4% + 11% = 15%

3 - 4% + 5.5% = 9.5%

4 - 4% + 4.5% = 8.5%

5 - 4% + 4.0% = 8.0%

6 - 4% + 3.5% = 7.5%

7 - 4% + 3.0% = 7.0%

8 - 4% + 2.5% = 6.5%

9 - 4% + 2.0% = 6.0%

10 - 4% + 1.5% = 5.5%

11 - 4% + 1.0% = 5.0%

12 - 4% + 0.5% = 4.5%

 

These are the most recent figures I can find.

It works out as about 40% for old firm and 60% for other teams combined.

[slippers]

I'd like to see it completely even! Need to try and improve the overall product and evening out the money will help. The teams finishing in the top 3 or 4 will gain entry to Europe which is where you can earn the real money! In time the league standard will improve along with the money on offer from sky ext.

 

The massive drop from 2nd to 3rd is disgusting and yet again favouring the cunts of our game widening the gap further!

 

Apologies to original poster as this does not answer your question in the slightest!

[LeDandy]

ok so with our blinkers off...the only reason the old firm get a lot more, is because they finish 1st and 2nd?

 

they dont just get more because theyre the old firm!

Whoever agreed to there being 5.5% difference between position 2 & 3 then after that its 0.5% between every other club needs their head examined , so basically positions 1 and 2 take one third of the money and make up one sixth of the league , it was set up to benefit the old firm and the spl chairmen were bullied into agreeing to it , changes are coming though

[ChutneyLove]

I think it's 40 quid for the standard, 50 quid with the sports and an extra tenner for the pornos.

[Dandyesque]

hmm you may have a point re the % differences, fair enough

 

however, motherwell have benefited from that this season and been rewarded for a great season!

 

No. They finished 3rd and got 0.5% more than the team that finished 4th. 3% more than we did for finishing 9th.

 

Of course, this refers to a share, not that they got only 3% more cash- it's more like double what we got- but still only about 2 thirds of what Oldco Rangers got- earned by not paying their NI and PAYE bill, remember.

I have the figures and some calculations I made myself based on different ways of splitting the cash.

 

Once I have time later I'll try and fire them up.

 

Oh and just sounds like another ill informed ignorant OF fan I assume?

[Bluto10]

well, then thats up to us to stop them, isnt it?

 

and anyway, thats the same in other leagues...the higher up you finish the more you get - it rewards success

 

now that i know this is the way its done, then i think its entirely fair

 

i disagree with this.

i think all monies should be evenly distributyed from top to bottom.

 

it is fair enough to reward success but what if that success continues for a decade?

the real reward should be your final league position, not the big fat cheque you get at the end of the season.

I'd say that TV money should be divided equally. Or alternatively, the TV money should be divided up based on how many of your home games are shown in a season.

 

Prize money (available from sponsorship etc) should be separate from tv money and have a sliding scale (an even sliding scale down the league).

[Dandyesque]

I've said it many times before and I'll keep on saying it - they should reverse the allocation of money so that the team finishing last gets the most and the team finishing first the least.

 

As Bluto says, the pride should be reward enough.

 

This would increase competition as well as distributing more money to the lower leagues.

 

As it stands, most of the TV money that comes into the Scottish game is spent on 2 or 3 players and their agents. The OF (or what's left of them) would barely miss it, but an extra

the old firm would lap that deal up.

The Old Firm (or what's left of them) don't get many home games shown on TV.

 

You'd know that if you weren't too busy watching the EPL.

I don't you even get their Saturday 3pm home games live on foreign tv anymore as more and more folk were watching games down the local with the foreign boxes.

 

I'd imagine they may have a similar amount of home games as everyone else actually, but given they are on about 23 times a season each and 19 of them will be away games, on a percentage basis their home games are minimal.

Don't even know where to begin with this

[Dandyesque]

Seems a decent idea in a league with no relegation (Yanks kinda have that idea with draft players), but would it nae make the SPL more of a closed shop? Would end up with the relegated team having a massive advantage over any other first division team.

 

The draft in the US was the original inspiration.

 

The closed shop could be an issue - but then you would still have promotion and relegation - a more competitive top league as well as a trade off.

 

I suspect you'd also see players leave when the team is relegated due to lack of exposure.

 

It's definitely a better idea than what we have at present.

[Dandyesque]

Don't even know where to begin with this

 

Start at the top left, reading from left to right.

 

Finish at the full stop.

fair enough.

 

if you have money per TV game, shouldnt it go to both sides and not the home team only?

 

if there is money floating round teh game from TV it shuld go to everyone, regardless of one teams popularity or success over anothers. even monkey clubs like raith and alloa contribute to the game.

I wasn't being serious with the suggestion, it should be split equally.
