Chelsea's win to cost us Millions !!!

Will Arsenal have to go through the play-off round seeing as technically they finished 4th (now that Chelsea won it)?!

Apparently on Guardian's "Football Weekly" podcast it was said that they both are going straight to the group stages though I've heard many times that Chelsea are going to group stage while Arsenal have to play qualifier.

what a fucking joke

they are the lowest placed team in their domestic league, the basis for the splitting of the money, and yet the rules can be re-written within three fucking days of winning it

and we lose out 10% of the moneys whereas the scum only lose out on 5% as do the Arse, now that seems fair!

That's it then; we're fucked. Next stop, administration and a 10 pt deduction. Probable relegation, ADUG will pull out andall the star players will jump ship. Liquidation will follow and MCFC will cease to exist. It was nice getting to know you lot.

:(

Speak for yourself, jim.

Damocles claimed Chelsea winning would benefit us financially. I asked how. I ask again.

we'll still get more than we did last season.

At least the rags have another fall in revenue. Silver lining!

I thought the share out was based on the league tables from the season before (2010-11) rather than the one just finished?

why the fuck are city getting a 10% loss when utd and arsenal are only taking a 5% hit for chelsea to make up there money. After all we actually won something to qualify same with chelsea so utd and arsenal should be the ones taking the hit on this one imo

makes no sense to me either mate....

I don't see how this can be accurate. When Liverpool qualified as Champions they were treated as the 4th placed English team and had to play in the qualifying rounds. I am sure the same logic was applied to the TV money.

UEFA can't change their position having set the precedence then.

Sounds like another Daily Fail to me.

...and these were my recollection of the Liverpool scenario too.

Seems that Platini is just as pissed off about us winning the title as that senile old scotched up scot in Trafford. F*ck'em all's what I say.
