ANOTHER Premier League season has drawn to a close with more than £2.5billion in prize money and broadcast revenue being split between the 20 clubs.

Champions Manchester City received more than £160million for completing the first part of a potential treble while basement boys Southampton pocketed £100m despite their dire campaign.

The Premier League no longer make public the exact figures but each position in the table is worth £2.2m.

The broadcast revenue is pretty much divided equally, with clubs who are shown live in the UK most getting slightly more money.

An equal base payment is received by all clubs from TV rights, which was around £84m last season and is sure to be higher this season, with additional income depending on how often they are shown on domestic TV.

Liverpool and Chelsea are set to be the biggest losers with both missing out on qualification for the Champions League, which can be worth up to £100m for the following season.

Despite banking huge sums through parachute payments Southampton, Leeds and Leicester will have to offload their star players and reduce their wage bills as they adjust to life in the Championship.

Manchester City could earn an additional £4m if they beat Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday.

In comparison, beating Inter Milan in the Champions League final on June 10 would be worth £95m with Pep Guardiola’s side already earning £90m of that for reaching the showpiece event in Istanbul.

Should City go on and complete the treble they will earn almost £270m.

A 12th place finish and missing out on Europe altogether means that Chelsea are set to miss out on a minimum of £70m.

Liverpool are set to miss out on £50m having only qualified for the Europa League with Spurs to miss out on a similar amount after missing out on Europe completely.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Newcastle will be boosted financially for returning to the top four and earning Champions League qualification.
