And the icing on the cake? We've cost the rags £m's tonight

But it can't be true, they are the biggest club in the world so they say.

They could have a whip-round of all their worldwide "loyal lifelong fans" or all else failing a bucket collection at Tesco Stretford ha ha ha.

The demise continues off the field now as well. Its fantastic.

By winning tonight and getting through to the semi-final, we've increased our share of the Market Pool as we now get 12/34ths of the English clubs' share instead of 10/32nds. But they lose out as their share goes down from 6/32nds to 6/34ths of the same pot. As a minimum, that's got to be around £5m.

The perfect end to a perfect day.

So how much does our increase bring in for us?

A slight downside is that apparently we now owe Liverpool an additional £300k as a consequence of the Sterling deal

Well it's only one additional game so our share would be 13/35ths and theirs would be 6/35. If we assume that part of the market pool is £60m, at the end of the group stage we'd all played 6 games meaning there was an equal share of £15m at that stage in theory. However with 3 English teams in R16, that gave those 3 £16m each and the rags £12m.

When Arsenal & Chelsea went out our share went up to £18.75m, those two back to £15m and the rags back to £11.25m. By winning this week we go up to about £21m, Arsenal & Chelsea to £13.7m and the rags to £10.5m. If we get to the final, we'd be on £22.5m, Arsenal & Chelsea on £13.7m and the rags on just over £10m.

That assumes that part of the market pool is £60m. If that is the case then Chelsea would get an additional £24m for finishing as champions last season, us £18m, Arsenal £12m and rags £6m.

So that's something like £40m for us from the market pool and that's not including the fixed prize money, which is now a minimum £30m guaranteed I think.

Cheers PB for the work put into that.

The numbers involved are mind blowing they really are.

Excuse my ignorance Prestwich_Blue & apologies if you already posted the answers elsewhere. Why does the 2nd figure in the fractions change ie 32nds to 34ths to 35ths please? If so wouldn't that mean we earnt less as more pie pieces means less value per pie piece. I did get my Maths CSE grade 1 i promise. ;-)

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.

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
