How much money does a team lose if it is relegated to Second Division? The drama that torments Cádiz, Getafe, Valencia, Almería, Celta and Valladolid

enso” is a forbidden word in any conversation.

superstition, jinx

and, above all,

fear

come together in a combo that drives anyone away. Nobody wants to talk publicly about what privately torments them the most.. But deep down, even if it is in an office isolated from their sports cities or stadiums, there is a thought about the economic consequences of what happens this Sunday in Spanish football. And the result is dramatic: between 40 and 50 million euros that are left to earn due to the difference in television income, a staff cost that in most cases will not withstand the reality of Segunda and help from LaLiga that compensates a little, but not too much, the knockout of the descent.

Cádiz, Getafe, Valencia, Almería, Celta and Valladolid

Much more is being played tonight than a football match. They dispute their own existence. He

Elche

and the

Spanish

They already have both feet on the

Smartbank League

, with all that this implies, and among the six mentioned clubs the

third sacrificed

towards the second well. Any combination is canceled

if Getafe beat Valladolid

, who is the one who has the worst to save himself. You need to win yes or yes. If Pucela scores, Celta will need to score against

barca

; and if those of

pezzolano

win, Vigo, Almería, Valencia and Cádiz will be forced to reach at least 42 points to survive.

From there, sports and economic hell. Going down to Second is an emotional blow for everyone, but there are monetary contexts that do not suffer so much. He

Valladolid

, he

Elche

, he

Almeria

and even the

Cadiz

, who have the lowest budgets in the League, shouldn't feel the hit as much, although they will, but for

Celtic, Getafe

and especially

Valencia

, the fall would be terrifying.

Waiting for official figures, of the

1.6 billion

,

approximate

, which the League has distributed

television rights

in the 2022-2023 academic year, an amount similar to that of the next season, the First Division takes 90% (1,440) and the

second 10%

(160), according to Royal Decree Law 5/2015. Of those 160 Second, there will be a

fixed quantity

for each of the 22 teams (

5 million

) who will play the 23-24 academic year and another

variable

by

classification

of the last season, granting

7.4

to the penultimate of LaLiga 22-23 (15.45% of the total amount),

6.5

to the penultimate (13.64%) and

5.6

bottom side (11.82%).

Valencia, KO

the difference is huge. So much that the

Valencia

, For example,

would go from winning 69 to 12.4

, according to sources and statistics consulted and calculated by this newspaper, in case of decrease. The same as he

Celtic

, which in Primera receives

53 million

, and the

Getafe

, What does he charge

54

. The Cádiz, the Valladolid and the Almería, that are in 47 and 45 'kilos' in income, would happen to

11.5

. All would see their charges decreased in

30 or almost 50 million

.

It would come into play, then, the

help to the relegation that LaLiga provides

, fruit of the money accumulated in the

Compensation Fund

, a bag to which each club contributes 3.5% of the annual television income. But how is that aid distributed and calculated? The following is valued: a fixed amount corresponding to the

0.35% of audiovisual income

of the total of LaLiga, the

20% of the average audiovisual income

of said team in the last five seasons, the

5% of the income of each club

in the last five courses and one

compensation of 0.034%

of the Primera audiovisual amounts for each of the consecutive campaigns that the club has been in the highest category. That is to say,

Valencia, Celta and Getafe would have bigger aid than Almería, Cádiz and Valladolid

(and that Espanyol and Elche) in case of relegation having been in LaLiga for more years in a row.

Those of Mestalla would receive a figure that would be around

33 million

, which together with the 12.4 of the audiovisual rights would only make them lose

24

with respect to the television income received in Primera. The league '

would help Celta with 20

and to

Getafe with 17

, while Cádiz and Valladolid would remain at 8 and Almería at 6. Espanyol, for its part, knows that it will have something close to 13, compared to 7 for Elche.

In total, and counting on that help,

Valencia would stop winning due to the 24 million television agreement

, always talking about approximate amounts while waiting for the official ones;

the celtic 21

, Getafe 25, Cádiz 17, Valladolid 15, Almería 27, Espanyol 30 and Elche 28.

Parrots, for example,

received 30 million 'aid'

in its last descent in 2020, while the

Valladolid collected 14

in 2021. A much-needed money to endure the first season in hell, but that would come in three payments during the season: October 30, November 30 and January 30. Those millions, moreover,

become zero if promotion is not achieved

the following June. Without the help of LaLiga, the clubs are solely dependent on television rights that are far from those accumulated in the First Division. For anyone, ascending in a few months is vital, so what happens this Sunday will give a 180 degree turn to the destination that several cities.
