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 we've
00:24seen for Burnley and we could be having multiple claims over multiple seasons the actual number
00:31it's got it's got nine figures hasn't it we are talking hundreds of millions as opposed to tens
00:36of millions is settled I was fortunate enough to be on on the overlap with Wayne Rooney a few months
00:41ago and he said and he said this on on air when Manchester United were playing in Europe we got
00:49a
00:4925% bonus for Champions League qualification so could players in those sides who finish fifth
00:57on an individual basis or a class basis say yeah 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 grand
01:20a
01:20year so that's a million pounds that's for one player so you've got a 25 man squad that's 25 million
01:25quid you throw in the coach and the manager that's 30 million quid
