Quote: LeedsLurch "I think you would be surprised at the prize money of the semis and finals of the FA Cup
Semi Final runner up £450k
Semi Final wwinner £900k
Final runner up £900k
Final winer £1.8m
These prizes are cumlative too, so win the semi and final and thats an extra £2.7m in to the coffers + all the earlier rounds prizes too which admittedly are much lower'"
That's peanuts compared to £100m for finishing 4th from bottom, and continued existence in the PL though and £1.9m extra for every place they finish above 20th.

Then if you look at the top end, there's a massive difference between financial reward for Champions League versus Europa League too

So if they offered a CL place to FA Cup winners, it'd be more notable !
