That's absolute nonsense, £70m is well over over half of our entire revenue for the whole season. That figure is alice in wonderland mathematics. Last season our revenue was around £120m, in our champions league winning season before that our revenue was £123m. The season before that in 03/04 our revenue was £92m. Therefore the extra OVERALL revenue is about £30m.

Winning the Champions league earns you nothing remotely close to the figure suggested by that loony mathematician.

Fair enough, but the stats speak for themselves, I've read the report from Deloitte. The revenue figures are the real stats I've given you.

ATHENS (Reuters) - The winner of Wednesday's Champions League final between AC Milan and Liverpool could earn as much as 100 million euros in rising sponsorship and TV deals, increased players' values and higher ticket sales, an international survey showed on Tuesday.

The survey, commissioned by MasterCard, one of the sponsors of the Champions League, also showed the victorious club's home city could expect a significant cash injection.

The city of Liverpool made an estimated 70 million euros following the club's 2005 win against AC Milan, while Portugal's Porto enjoyed an estimated 12 million boost after the team's 2004 victory.

"The experts found that the winning club is likely to enjoy increased sponsorship, TV revenue, gate receipts and player value - although the estimated reward of up to 100 million (euros) is less than many of Europe's top clubs have spent on transfers and wages in the past few seasons," the company said in a statement.

The study conducted by KRC Research polled 12 leading European football and business experts including economists, academics and football commentators.


Almost as much as Dawson will make from all his overtime

Well the stats showed an increase in £30m of revenue after our Istanbul victory. If it jumps by £70m this time I'd be very very surprised, and very happy, as that is well over half of our entire revenue for the whole of last season.
