Will the SFA be given some kind of qualification prize money which could be split or? The prize money for qualifying for the Euros is €9.25m.There's €1.5m for each win and €0.75m for each draw in the groups, and €2m if you get through to the last 16.There will also be tons of commercial deals for the SFA you'd imagine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 The SFA are skint. Didn't they recently take out a loan? Can't see any cash going to the clubs. Think they'll use it for debts and for various programmes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'd think all the money will go to filling the massive Covid hole and keeping grassroots football from falling apart. It couldn't have come at a better time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they didn't have this money to pay those debts then it would have to come from the clubs, so that still makes it a windfall. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably going to be used to plug a hole in the loss of revenue though. 2019-20 Scottish Cup Semis & Final played BCD, all the Internationals BCD and whatever else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see grants being made for non league clubs achieving licensing and driving standards up from the bottom. This is only the beginning.

GordonS Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 There's also going to be a big pay-out for the players. Am I right in remembering that they haven't been getting match fees for a long, long time, on the basis they would get a good pay day if they qualified for something? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HibeeJibee Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 SFA took £5M government loan in June and recently started consulting on 18 redundancies. Prizemoney for qualifying is just over £8M - but they may ultimately make approaching double that between hopefully getting some points in groupstage, additional sponsors, merchandise sales, TV rights for warmup games, taking cut of home ticket allocations (if fans are allowed) etc. From that deduct tournament costs; plus bonuses to players, coaches, directors. Should still leave enough to balance books, sustain or even enhance payments to senior clubs, and prop-up "grassroots football" IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kebab Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Time to invest in the floating stadium as a replacement for HampdenAre you actually talking about using the dosh in bringing other grounds up to spec so that they can comfortably be used for international fixtures or building one of those heli-carrier things that Samuel L.

HibeeJibee Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The Times reports squad receive £3,000,000 for qualifying (interestingly that's treble what it was for WC 2014) and bonus doubles Clarke's salary. So quite a big dent in that money. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably quite a boring question here but how does that £3M get split up, we had a squad of 23-25 players that won us the game that took us through - is it just them that receive an even split of that money or is there some sort of pro-rata system that gives more money to players who played more minutes? Is any money given to players who were maybe involved in earlier Nations League matches but weren't called up for the final qualifier?

gannonball Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Im sure its the same for the Euros but at the world cup the players club gets compensated for every day they are at the tournament. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is any money given to players who were maybe involved in earlier Nations League matches but weren't called up for the final qualifier? I'd assume there will be pro rata scale for those who featured in qualifying though it could be quite complex now given Nations League factor, playoffs, extra subs, etc. Hanlon and Considine presumably don't pocket the same as Robertson and McGinn! Also it's presumably not limited only to those who happened to appear in the knockout playoffs. Presumably then a flat payment follows to 23 players in tournament squad. Maybe extras for playing, scoring, clean sheets while there. Unless all to be worked out on top of existing £3M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 That money could be the equivalent of 6-9 months salary for someone like O'Donnell, who has pretty much been in every squad and played most games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
