Just incase anyone was under any misconceptions as to just how much the game against Leeds means to City try these interesting facts.

If City were to win on Saturday and other results were to go their way, the LCFC PLC could pull in around £1 million!

How can a game be worth this much? Well for a start every Premiership place is worth 330,000 under the current deal with Sky. That means that finishing 10th would get City 3.3 million while finishing 13 would knock around a million off the total to give City a 2.3 Million windfall at the end of the season.

There does seem to be some confusion though as to just how much City, Liverpool, Charlton and Leeds are being paid for appearing on SKY this weekend. The official site insist that 500,000 is the sum on offer, meaning that Sky would be shelling out around 2 million just to pay the teams to play. Our friends at Midas Soccer though insist that City and the other teams involved will get just the 'standard amount', whatever that is.

There again the amount on offer to City is dwarfed by the amount of money Leeds stand to miss out on if they lose and do not qualify for a Champions League spot.

With the Champions League guaranteeing several extra matches against some of the biggest teams in Europe and each game being broadcast live on television Leeds could lose much more than just a million if City beat them!

City boss Peter Taylor knows just how much the game is worth when he said, "We are determined to do our best to get back into the top half of the table and we will need to win to do that.

"Last night's draw against Arsenal sent Newcastle above us and we are down to 12th so we have a lot to do. We will need a good display in front of the TV cameras for a change."

For a change would be right. FFS is hard pressed to find any league game that we have done well in that has been shown on SKY, apart from the game against Sunderland last season when Collymore got his hat trick!
