Remember when UEFA introduced their 10-year coefficient, which is used to determine part of the CL revenue distribution?
It was clearly a sop to the "history clubs", to ensure they got revenue even if they hadn't performed well in the competition. The main points came from winning the CL (or EL), meaning the clubs who'd won it a few times in the previous ten years got the most points. Because of that, united and particularly Liverpool, were ahead of us in that coefficient. Well, having finally won it ourselves, we've jumped up the table and are now fourth behind Real, Bayern and Barcelona, meaning even more money from UEFA. That worked out well for the history boys didn't it?
For comparison, Chelsea are 6th, Liverpool are 8th and united are 11th.
