00:00what you can sue for is loss of an opportunity so if you finish fifth in the premier league you
00:06have
00:06lost the opportunity to play in the champions league why is that important is that if you win
00:12the europa league you'd win probably 35 million quid nice bit of prize money not denying that
00:18when the champions league is 150 so an individual claim would be far in excess of the one that
00:24we've seen for burnley and we could be having multiple claims over multiple seasons the actual
00:29number it's got it's got nine figures hasn't it we are talking hundreds of millions as opposed
00:35to
00:36tens of millions is settled i was fortunate enough to be on on the overlap with wayne wayne
00:40rooney
00:40a few months ago and he said and he said this on on air when manchester united were playing
00:47in europe
00:48we got a 25 bonus for champions league qualification so could players in those sides who finish fifth
00:57on an individual basis or a class basis say yep we're entitled again you start you start to crunch
01:05the numbers let's say that the average earnings of a player in the year affected was was four million
01:13pounds a year now 80 grand a week that's that's quite conservative a 25 bonus of that 20
01:20grand a year
01:20so that's a million pounds that's for one player so you've got a 25 man squad that
01:25's 25 million quid
01:26you throw in the coach and the manager that's 30 million quid
01:29you
