Everton secure massive payday after Premier League turnaround

Everton are set for a massive payday after securing the 13th place in the Premier League standings, regardless of their result against Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Sunday.

The Blues have picked up 45 points ahead of the final matchday this season and are set for a higher finish than the likes of Wolves, West Ham, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.

TBR’s finance expert Adam Williams told Everton News that the club’s 13th-place finish could result in them pocketing over £140m in prize money.

“Last season, the club that finished 13th – which was Fulham, on that occasion – got around £130m in total prize money from the Premier League,” Williams said.

“For Everton, I’d expect them to actually receive quite a lot more than that as they have been on TV more, with each domestically broadcast match worth just less than £1m to the club.

“I haven’t got the figures to hand, but let’s say they were on TV 20-25 times throughout the season. That’s going to give them a total prize money of around £140m.

“I think you can also add a little bit extra from the international equal share and central commercial pots too, which have increased in 2024-25. My estimate is that they will be on around £142-145m in the final figures.”

David Moyes deserves plenty of plaudits for turning Everton’s season around. The Toffees were just one point above the relegation zone and in a precarious situation when Moyes took over from Sean Dyche.

He led the club on a nine-game unbeaten run and put plenty of distance between them and the dreaded red zone.

The Blues, who have struggled with PSR issues in recent years and have also seen points docked in the league as a result, are in a much better position now. 

“PSR is much less of an issue for Everton now ahead of the move to Bramley Moore Dock, but they do still need to show some restraint,” Williams admitted.

“An extra £10-15m in prize money than last season is going to help them in the transfer market. With an extra £40m or so coming from Bramley-Moore Dock, I’d expect to see a more lavish summer transfer window than Everton fans have become accustomed to seeing in recent years.”

Everton are expecting a busy summer ahead with plenty of movement. The squad needs a major overhaul and new owners the Friedkin Group are expected to back Moyes with significant funds.

The Blues have already approached Ipswich Town striker Liam Delap, although a deal is far from done.
