Cardiff earned more from finishing bottom of the Premier League this season than Manchester United earned as champions the previous campaign. The league's new £5.5billion broadcast deal meant Cardiff received £62.08m in finishing 20th this term, compared to United's £60.8m for winning the 2012-13 title. Manchester City, who succeeded United as champions on Sunday with a second title in three years, earned £96.5m, with second-placed Liverpool the top earners with £97.5m as a consequence of more of their games being screened live by broadcasters.

Stoke boss Mark Hughes has expressed his frustration after the club failed for a second time to get a work permit for United States international Juan Agudelo. The Potters completed the signing of former New England Revolution striker Agudelo on a free transfer in January, despite being denied a work permit for him in November. Hughes now thinks that is "probably the end of it" and has suggested the club will not be trying to make any other non-EU signings any time soon.
