## Resource

#1005 | Ed and Jamie discuss United’s likely Champions League revenue uplift, which might be over £100m across prize/broadcast, matchday and sponsorships. Despite higher associated costs EBITDA projections might top £250m next year. How might that translate into summer spending under new squad-cost rules? It might well be a theoretical ceiling near £400m, with £300m more plausible. And what other revenue streams might there be from possible sales to bolster United’s transfer budget? Finally, there’s a discussion on World Cup finances. How will FIFA spend its projected $13bn World Cup revenues, driven by high ticket pricing, commercial deals, and broadcasting rights? 00:00 Introduction 05:16 Matchday Income and Sponsorship Bump 11:18 How Much Can United Spend? 16:46 Transfer Targets and Player Sales 19:33 Betway Sponsorship 26:03 Michael Carrick 39:35 FIFA World Cup Finances If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.
