Yes, I'm going to be following our magic numbers v the "top 6" from now. ManC down to 94 - it was over 100 a few matches ago.MrTopTier wrote:Like the fact, based on the last six results, we will finish above Manchester Utd.

That's interesting to see that of the bottom 6 last season, take out the 3 that were relegated and we've got the bottom 3 for this season.Vince Fontaine wrote:After 15 matches
Bournemouth........60

West Bromwich....58

After 15 matches last season
Palace.................67
Middlesbrough...67
West Ham...........65
Swansea.............64
Hull......................64
Sunderland.........63
That means the magic numbers are 9 points less than last year. 10 if you want to count goal difference.

Aye, that's 2 players on 50,000 a week x 3 years, wonder if that Bale guy will be available?Clarets4me wrote:Week 16 has come and gone......

11 Teams on sixty or below... last season, we didn't get to 29 points until the 1-0 home win v Leicester on 31st January, and then only picked up 11 points from the remaining 15 games, out of 45 available, so it's looking promising !
Last year, Southampton finished 8th on 46 points, and received £25,240,917 merit payment ( prize money ) from the EPL, we finished 16th and got £9,708,045. I doubt this year's figures will differ much, and that would be an extra £15,532,872 in our coffers, if we finished 8th..
It's easy to get blase about the TV money, but £15.5 million still looks a decent wedge to me !!

As are 15th place Stoke .... also on 49CrispyClaret wrote:After our 17th game the bottom 4 are now under 50 points

Whilst taking your point, the numbers will be interesting in so far as once Clubs start slipping towards 0, and then into minus numbers, then it will indicate the lowest position we can finish, and our likely " merit payment ", ( Prize money ) which starts at £ 7.75m for 17th, and increases by roughly £1.9m per place...Croydon Claret wrote:Not sure that the numbers are really that relevant any more given our current points haul. With 3 more wins, maybe even 2, well have enough points to stop up but the magic numbers for the bottom teams will still be in the high 30s.
At this current rate we'll have over 50 points before the bottom 3 get to 0 on the magic numbers.
What a difference to previous years where the numbers were a great way of figuring out our survival chances!
Everton finished 7th and got £27,182,526....we got £9,708,045 for our 16th place.. so it's £17,474,481 to be precise, I look at it as the new Gawthorpe, and the new facilities for fans who live with disabilities paid for....or alternatively, more than twice as much as B******n Rovers total turnover for the entire season !!Ric_C wrote:So if we finish 7th for example, that would be an extra 19 million in prize money from where we finished last season.
Which would pay the wages of 7 players on £50k per week for a year.
And still two matches from halfway, C_C. Bloody marvellous.Caernarfon_Claret wrote:Not completely related to Magic Numbers but interesting that in the first half of the Dyche PL years we've picked up
16 points
23 points
31? Points
We've almost doubled the points tally for the first season.
In the second half of the season we've picked up 17 points in both campaigns.
So barring a massive collapse we would realistically expect to at least match those 17 points. (48 points)
I usually wait for the full round of matches, but as we stand, half the League are now on 50 points or below...Commy wrote:Half the league could be under 50 after weekend.
