Big millions are trapped! Slavia starts the hunt for the smaller ones

Over 3.6 million euros from the European League is also irretrievably trapped after a failure with the Warsaw Legion. That is why the profit from the premiere year of the Conference League should come now, with which the Czech champion finally had to be satisfied in order to balance the financial balance with the actual income.

The sale of Abdallah Sima to Brighton, England for eight million euros and David Zima to Turin FC for 5.9 million euros, of course, significantly helped to reconcile ideas and reality. Slavia can count on an amount oscillating between 400 and 450 million crowns, which these transfers, including subsequent bonuses, will earn.

It thus came into de facto equilibrium with the income from last season, when it earned 15.776 million euros, ie around 400 million crowns, by advancing to the quarterfinals of the European League. The year before, she had acted in the Champions League basic group and received 65 million more from her UEFA box office.

Now, therefore, in the words of the former first man of Czech football, Miroslav Pelta, it will be only “smaller” millions, which should bring out the Slavic performance and campaign of the Conference League, which of course represents the third sequence in the hierarchy of European competitions.

Of course, this is reflected in the bonuses and bonuses offered by UEFA, although the difference between the European and the Conference League is not so abysmal, especially in the basic phase. Specifically, the club collects 94 million crowns for participation in the European League group, 17 million less in the Conference League.

“From an economic point of view, the Conference League can be paradoxically more advantageous for us than the European League,” coach Jindřich Trpišovský even dared to say after Slavia had to accept that for the first time since the 2016/17 season it would not play either of the two most prestigious cup competitions.

“It is often stated in the players’ contracts that his promotion to the Champions League and the European League is paid to his former club, player and agent … In our case, the participation in the Champions League would be in the order of one hundred to two hundred million, for the European the league would go up to tens of millions. On the contrary, the conference league is not included in the financial plan, so it is actually a matter of luck in misfortune, “Tvrdík supported the coach’s opinion.

Even so, Slavia counts on smaller budgets coming from the Conference League to balance the budget, even though the composition of the basic group and the community of the Union of Berlin, Feyenoord Rotterdam and Maccabi Haifa is treacherous. Last year’s draw in the European League was just as treacherous, but it still reached the quarterfinals and collected a sum of 15.776 million euros, ie 400 million crowns.

In order to get the same profit in the Conference League this year, she would have to win all the matches in the basic group, and subsequently the whole competition. Then it would come to 15.49 million euros (393 million crowns), which would further increase the bonuses for the ten-year club coefficient, which reflects the previous cup results and revenues for television rights.

And that would already be happier in Eden and, in the context of Trpišovský’s words, of course more optimistic numbers.
