well...in terms of revenue its a lot....to give you an idea heres a fact....the winning team of the champions league gets about 40 million...that includes everything...prize money,gate receipts, tv revenue etc...so a 5 million cut in revenue is substancial....even though it may seem paltry compared to the transfer market situation esp with chelsea seemingly having a endless pit for a pocket...
