Promotion on almost the lowest budget in League Two & thriving in League One on definitely the lowest budget, a look at #ASFC finances after the club gave us open access to it's finances. Club has matchday income of less than £2m a year which works out at less than £300 per fan.
League 2 clubs are given relative crumbs in terms of broadcasting money, & thanks to the way the 'Big Six' of MUFC MCFC Arsenal LFC CFC & THFC have sneaked through changes to the distribution method, will earn less from 2019
#ASFC earned just over £1/2m from commercial & other income in 2017/18, mainly from sponsorship via owner @AndyhHolt's WhatMore group. This is a way of owner supporting club without pumping it full of debt.
One cunning item not mentioned by the #EPL in changing the distibution of overseas TV rights is the impact on lower league clubs. Previously they've had a % of the equal share but not the merit share of PL TV income. Under proposals some overseas TV income becomes merit (1/2)
This means any increase in overseas rights will result in clubs in Championship, League 1 and League 2 getting nothing and it is all kept by the PL clubs. For a club such as Accrington in L1 a £1bn annual increase in overseas would have meant an extra £473k a year. now it is FA
So when John Henry talks about being unhappy at Liverpool 'subsidising' other clubs, he means that all 20 PL clubs want share a £1,000,000,000 pa increase so likes of Preston, Stanley, Morecambe etc. do not receive anything. After all, £473,000 out of a billion is a lot isn't it?
