Winners and losers of the season
Ironically, Chelsea didn’t finish top of the Premier League’s pay table. The league figures, which incorporate broadcasting revenues, TV appearance money and bonuses for positional finish in the league, show that despite winning the title, the Blues finished second to Manchester United. United netted £52,99 million compared to Chelsea’s eventual pay-out of £52,83 million. Tottenham, who [...]
