Does this include the sponsors money?

Do you mean shirt sponsors and sports we've made this season? No, my understanding is that this is the cash given to us by the PL. The PL would have no part in our sponsors payments as far as I'm aware.

Correct, thus is purely money from the PL. For the most part a sliding scale depending on finishing position. However we came out with more money than city, despite finishing below them did to a higher number of tv appearances.
A staggering stat was to show the contrast between Cardiff's winnings versus Bayern Munich. Cardiff got relegated and took home something like £62M, whereas Bayern won the Bundesliga and got only £30M!
Shows the difference in commercial value of the PL

So we could assume that the club has made a huge profit this season, since there's also the shirt sales, ticket sales, sponsor money etc. to consider as well.

I mean we came out with a loss overall as reported a couple months ago, but the way people at the club were speaking, it made it sound like they expect next year to be very good financially. I don't know when we received that money from the PL, if it was all at the end of the season or spread throughout, but all of our sponsorship money coming in as well as CL, more cash from viewing, etc., it sounds like we're in a very good spot financially.
