Carling Cup Pub Quiz Question
Quick question, just for a laugh for those who wonder why the top teams don’t take it quite as seriously as they might.
What is the prize money for winning the Carling Cup?
The Carling Cup
The winner recieves £100,000.
The runner-up receives £50,000.
Losing Semi-Finalists receive £25,000.
So, if a top team battles through to the semi-final, they can be secure in the knowledge that a couple of academy players will be paid for a week or two.

What! I always thought it was about £1,000,000 minimum!! But no! Wow! We get much more than £100,000 if we win a Champions League group stage match!!
That represents a financial loss if we consider the huge goal bonuses we have to pay to the players! That’s why the ‘senior’ players don’t play.
I know, it’s a joke really isn’t it?
A Champions League win in the Group Stage is worth over £500,000 and a draw about £250,000.
Teams get over £2 Million just for participating in the Group Stage of the Champions League.
