Last season’s Premier League marketing and TV rights revenues were revealed, and unsurprisingly, Liverpool is at the top of the table. It’s no surprise either, the Premier League is a league that generates huge revenues. It is the biggest league in the world.
If Liverpool collect 173 million euros, Manchester City, champions of England last season is second in this ranking with 171 million euros. The surprise is that Manchester United, one of the biggest names in world football, is 5th in this ranking behind Chelsea, Tottenhan. The poor results of the Reds Devils are having a financial and marketing impact on the Manchester club.
The revenues demonstrate the financial power of the TV rights in the Premier League. For example, Huddersfield, bottom of the English Premier League the last year, earned twice as much as Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. The French club earned 56.7 million euros, compared to 109.6 million euros, for the relegated English club at the end of the season. The gap is abysmal.
This year, Jürgen Klopp’s men are making history. No defeats and only one draw in the league so far. There is no doubt that the Reds will keep their top place until the end of the season and remain top of the TV rights chart for the 2019-2020 season.
