32/34/35 is the total number of matches played by English teams
It started with four teams playing 6 games each (24 in total) so at this stage the £60m was split equally
Arsenal, Chelsea and us progressed so the number of matches increased to 30 (this equates to £2m per game)
At this point the rags are out of the CL so their £15m is now reduced to £12m as they can only play a maximum of 6
I think:
12/34ths is because City will have played 12 of the 34 (Utd 6, Arsenal 8, Chelsea 8) matches played by English teams - 35% roughly
The final would make it 13/35ths - 37%, so the %age of the pot has increased.
Thanks guys. Appreciate it. There was a mention earlier by Prestwich_Blue of the money for finishing positions in the Premier league too..(from Uefa). Is that seperate?
