QPR earn £3million a point for finishing bottom of Premier League

The Hoops reaped £64,886,028 (89.191m) in Premier League payments, and were relegated back to the Championship with a total of 30 points, finishing last.

Champions Chelsea were awarded almost £99m (over 136m) as they claimed the title for the first time in five years. Chelsea’s total share was just over 46million more than QPR. Around a quarter Chelsea’s 136m came from prize money for finishing top of the table but the largest amount came from overseas broadcast rights, with all 20 top-flight clubs receiving over £27.5m from that stream. Manchester United were the biggest earners from facility fees with their 27 live TV appearances bringing in just under 30million.
