West Ham United already earn millions in UEFA Conference League, it could skyrocket to £13m+
West Ham United have already brought in around £3million windfall from their small run in the UEFA Conference League this season, according to Football London.
After beating Viborg in the final qualifying round and making the group stages, the Irons raked in around £2.5million for their achievement.
With each group stage win worth €500,000 [£432,966], the victory against FCSB and the five games to come to offer great financial incentives for the club and David Moyes.
It doesn’t stop there either.
West Ham would pick up another fee of just over £2.5million if they were to win their group as expected by taking the victory in all five remaining games too.
Then we come to the knockout rounds, with reaching the final by getting through each knockout round worth around £5.7million to the lucky side.
Winning the competition obviously takes up the windfall too, with that set to skyrocket to a total of over £13million should the Irons win all of their games – more than quadrupling the current fee.
Love it.
David Gold and David Sullivan will be rubbing their hands together, as will every single member of GSBK as we all expect another run deep into this European competition.
With an extra £13million on the line, there will be pressure on Moyes and his squad to perform, and starting by winning all of their group games would certainly help that.
Forbes released their latest valuations list over the past week, and that highlighted a 77% increase in the value of the club, with finance expert Dan Plumley admitting that on-pitch performance will have helped that.
The trick is to keep that number rising high, and going as far in this competition as well as keeping our toes in Europe consistently will do no harm to that.
Hopefully, we can continue this European run and success from recent years with that piece of silverware, and the money, so desperately craved at the London Stadium for West Ham United.
