That’s how much Wolves and all the other clubs earned when Man City won the title

For many Wolves fans, the real success of this season was staying out of trouble and finding the positives in a season that threatened to be problematic.

Julen Lopetegui’s quick sprint to the exit led to the disappointing appointment of Gary O’Neil, a decision that did not go down well with Wolves’ loyal supporters.

Little did they know that the season would far exceed their expectations as O’Neil brought strength to his team and built a team spirit and work ethic that made them a tough nut to crack and offered fans many positives that gave them hope for the future when the club is out of the current FFP situation.

A 14th place finish would have been worth around £130 million to Wolves, based on last season’s prize money. Revenues are likely to be similar to last season.

Another season full of drama, controversy and unexpected twists came to an end with Manchester City securing their fourth consecutive Premier League title, while the three promoted teams return to the Championship.

However, all 20 teams have earned over £100 million in prize money for their efforts over the past ten months, underlining the Premier League’s status as a financial powerhouse in football.

Even Sheffield United, who endured one of the worst seasons in Premier League history, are expected to receive nine figures despite finishing bottom of the table and conceding over a hundred goals. This is largely due to the Premier League’s unprecedented global television revenue.

Each club will receive almost £80 million equally – essentially a dividend from the billions in revenue from global TV deals – plus a commercial base amount of just under £10 million. The clubs will also receive a facility fee of around £900,000 for each game they broadcast live on British television, the Mirror reports.

The key difference is in the performance bonuses, which are awarded on a sliding scale based on the team’s final league position. Last season each place was worth £3.1 million and it will likely be similar this year, leaving the champions with £62.3 million.

Not to mention the windfall financial gain that comes with reaching the Champions League, which can add another £100 million to a club’s coffers depending on performance in the following season. Performance bonuses also ensure that clubs stuck in mid-table for several weeks don’t have to start dreaming about their summer break.

The Premier League will not reveal exact payouts until early 2025 as part of its annual report. However, the following figures are based on last year’s confirmed prize money and are unlikely to have changed significantly depending on position.

1. Manchester City £176.2m.
