FT: ROTHERHAM UTD 5 - 2 CARDIFF CITY. Match thread

[The Lone Gunman]

There is prize money on a scale according to league position, but it is not a lot!
1st £100k, 2nd £50k, down to £7k for finishing bottom.

That’s right, it’s basically insignificant. I read somewhere recently that the losing play-off finalist will get more in TV revenue from that one game than Leicester will get for winning the league. That makes sense if the prize for becoming champions is just £100,000.

Maybe the EFL should put more money towards merit based payments, and increase payments per finishing position(a few hundred K per position), as it might encourage more effort towards the end of the season.
