TV Income won't bridge the wages gap, Internet is the future
Finishing positions in the Premier League don't make a huge difference in TV money, 25% is shared depending upon finishing position, 25% is used to pay for televised games and the remaining 50% is split evenly between all clubs.
In addition, 100% of the overseas broadcasting deals and central commercial revenue is distributed evenly between the 20 Premier League clubs. The big difference in revenue figures come from Champions League participation.
In 2013/14 Tottenham finished 6th and Everton 5th but Tottenham picked up more TV revenue for being shown more often on TV, 24 times to 16 for Everton. Liverpool led the way, being shown 28 times, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United were all shown 25 times.
For the remainder it was Aston Villa 16, Newcastle United, West Ham United 14, Swansea City, Sunderland 13, Southampton, Crystal Palace 10, Norwich City, WBA, Hull City 9, Fulham, Cardiff City 8 and bringing up the rear as the team the TV companies least want to show Stoke City 7.
While the Europa League has it's down sides, Spurs playing on a Sunday makes us more likely to appear on TV. The 95 million Tottenham picked up was dwarfed by the four Champions League sides, Chelsea £140 million, Manchester United £136 million, Manchester City £133 million and Arsenal £123 million.

What do Tottenham get by being in the Europa League in revenue terms. Well we earned €5.9 million, add in gate receipts and Tottenham gained £9.2 million for reaching the last 16. Their will be commercial income to add to this figure.
Compare that with the four Champions League clubs, who before match day income received, Manchester United €44.8 million, Chelsea €43.4 million, Manchester City €35.4 million and Arsenal €27.2 million.

30 Stoke City 76 million 77% TV Income
There are some alarming reliance's on TV money among them, our 53% is relatively healthy by comparison but the 5 bigger clubs rely on it even less. That is the gap we must bridge, it won't be done with TV money and to grow commercial income we have to grow the brand, grow the appeal of Tottenham Hotspur.
It has to be remembered that even though TV money is going up, only an extra £4 million can be spent on wages so it doesn't mean we can suddenly afford to pay top wages, we still can't.
What will the future hold for broadcasting income for clubs, well it could go through the roof. The day will come where every Premier League game will be shown live on the Internet, either through a subscription channel for each club or a pay per view basis. Clubs will then be able to tap into their own worldwide audience and earn a greater income from fans abroad.
It is essential to build the Tottenham name for the day that that arrives as those with the largest following will have a huge advantage. Just one more reason why we need to be at the forefront in cracking the American market.
