In essence, qualify for the UEFA League group stages and it appears we get: Starting fee: 4.31m Euros. Every teams gets this, so not split with anyone. (Conf League: 3.17m) Performance-related fees: 450k for a win, 150k for a draw. Also not split with anyone. (Conf League: 400k/133k) League ranking bonus: minimum 75k for 36th place, and 75k for every place we finish above that. On top of that, places 1-8 get an additional 600k bonus, and 9-16 an additional 300k. Not split with anyone. (Conf League: 28k per place, 400k/200k bonuses) Value Pillar share: This is the only bit where the presence of other Scottish teams can affect our prize money, and it's still not a straight split. All 36 teams are ranked (again!) but this time first by country ("domestic broadcasters’ contribution to the overall media revenue for the whole cycle in that competition"), then within that country placing by a team coefficient. Except for the "non-european" bit, which is done just by coefficient... Minimum 297k for 36th place, and 297k for every place we finish above that. (Conf League: 86k per place) Celtic or Sevco joining us would each effectively move us down one league placing as they would be higher ranked than us, costing us 297k each. Hibs in Conference League has the same effect as they finished higher than us domestically, for a cost of 86k. TL/DR We get a minimum of about 4.7m euros for UEFA group stage, and Sevco or Celtic dropping into the UEFA league would reduce that by about 300k euros each. Hibs being in Conference League along with us reduces our prize money by about 86k euros, against a minimum of about 3.3m euros. That's my read at least, but I may have misinterpreted the payment rules as they are rather labyrinthine - you can read them for yourself here: https://editorial.uefa.com/resources/029a-1e0b5460b86d-31e6cad26358-1000/20250616_circular_2025_32_en.pdf As a footnote, if Celtic/Sevco lose the UCL playoffs, they get an additional compensation payment that is almost as high as the reward we get for being in the UEFA group stages (4.29m euros). Go figure. Reading this should perfectly illustrate to everyone how pathetic and contrived European football has become. Fucking embarrassing. 1 Quote

Jute Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 If anyone is still needing a football fix there is Argentine and Brazilian football on Premier Sports just now. I am currently watching Rosario Central v Newells Old Boys. Lad up front for Newells looks like he moonlights as an enforcer for the Sinaloa Cartel. Angel Di Maria playing for Rosario. Quote
Jute Posted August 23 Report Posted August 23 Fantastic free kick from Di Maria to put Rosario 1-0 up. Quote

Really enjoyable game to watch. Atmosphere in the ground sounded brilliant as well. Boca v Banfield is on tonight so will be watching that. Quote

That’s funny as the highlights really didn’t seem to imply it was a great game at all the atmosphere came through though. Quote

Panda Posted August 24 Report Posted August 24 Russell Martin still unbeaten in the Scottish Premiership. Very positive start from him and Rangers, this could be their year. Quote
BigAl Posted August 24 Report Posted August 24 Leaving Bojan out of the squad doesn't really seem to have worked for Girona this evening 4-0 down at half time away to Villarreal Quote

BigAl Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Sick of hearing how far The Victims have had to travel to play this game. Made me think, when Kairat are playing their games away from home, do they have some magical shortcut across the European continent Quote
BigAl Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Half time and frankly both teams have been absolutely keich Quote
Jute Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Celtic again with absolutely no goal threat. They will have enough to win our league at a canter again but they will really struggle in Europe without a proper striker. Quote
BigAl Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 Please please just go to penalties The thought of an extra thirty minutes of this pish Quote
Jute Posted August 26 Report Posted August 26 3 penalties missed. Including by £9m Idah. Wonder if they would be interested in Yengi to solve their striking problems. Quote
