The way the whole money thing works with the premier league table is actually kinda wild. So, where your team finishes on the table at the end decides a chunk of the cash they get. I’ve looked it up before when arguing with my mates – basically, each spot higher in the league is worth more money, about £2.8 million per place! First place gets over £56 million, and even the bottom club grabs about £2.8 million.

But there’s more to it. Every team gets a base payment from TV rights – around £95 million each, which is nuts. Then they get extra TV money based on how many times their matches are shown live. Liverpool made around £26 million just from being picked the most for UK TV. So, the bigger clubs sorta get richer because they’re always on TV, but everyone gets a slice.

The table is a huge deal because dropping even a place can cost or win you millions, which can help buy players or just keep the club running. It’s basic maths, but it’s a massive deal if you care about your club’s future!
