I know for whom you make this whole stuff. But it's wrong. It's totally, totally irrelevant.
Money is not the factor, not at all. Easterners do not need money from Uefa. Really.
They can make more money alone, on their own, but for that they have to break free from uefa.
It does not matter how much they receive from uefa, and will they receive more in the future. Totally irrelevant.
They need to work on their own gold mine instead. Yes, they have one, but are not aware of it yet.
CL money is totally irrelevant. Totally.
But they can't dig the gold mine as long as they are tied with uefa.
So, for the purpose you intended it to be, this thread is misleading. Simply wrong. Yeah, numbers are correct (i believe you), but there is so much more in relation to uefa than the minor prize money. Much, much, much more is on stake.
Your tables do not show opportunity costs, i guess you are familiar with the term. And incomplete data is misleading and harmful, worth less than no data.
dzomba, I know it’s not your case, but Wojtekowski for instance, and others too, think that UEFA is “stealing” CL money that should be “theirs”, to give it to the “evil superpowers”.
I decided, based on MY OPINION of what’s fair, to see how UEFA is actually distributing the money, and how they should do it, and see who are the victims and who is stealing.
I don’t know yet what will be the conclusion, but after seeing 5 seasons I already have an idea.
Some teams from some countries, no matter what they do, always get less than they deserve, because of “market pool”.
And some teams from some countries, no matter what they do, always get more than they deserve, also because of “market pool”.
The only exceptions seem to be teams from poor “market pool” countries who lose (almost) every game, and teams from rich “market pool” countries that win (almost) every game.
So, UEFA is doing exactly the opposite of what it is accused of: they’re taking from the strongest (Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona…) to give it to the weakest (0-0-6 teams).
It’s not a “winner takes it all” system, more like a “Market pool rules” system.
