While being the most dominant club on and off the field has advantages, success in the season decider will not have a major impact on Victory's bottom line according to CEO Geoff Miles, with no prizemoney afforded to the winner.

"Grand Final doesn't make a difference directly to our bottom line. The game is run by FFA and obviously all the gate rests with the FFA and the Hyundai A-League," he said.

"We're playing for the prestige and glory of this, and our fans and our members. And it's a huge opportunity for us, our commercial partners, sponsors and the City of Melbourne. It's enormous to be playing in a Grand Final.

"I think the value is in what we deliver to our fans and what it means to our players, the clubs and the sponsors and partners. It's hard to quantify an outcome but it does make a difference."

Miles said the concept of a financial reward for a Championship success had been discussed with Football Federation Australia and it was something the club would raise again with the game's governing body in the near future.

"We'd love to think that as the league grows there will be prizemoney. It's the biggest day of the year and the Championship is still recognised as the pinnacle of the season, we hope that could be addressed going forward," he said.

Victory's Premiership success is likely to prove more profitable than a win in the Grand Final. Finishing top at season's end has earned Melbourne a spot in the lucrative Asian Champions League and that is likely to offer the club's coffers a significant financial injection.

"There's no doubt that increased prizemoney in the ACL, bigger travel allowances, is important for all A-League clubs," Miles said. "There is an opportunity for it to be a commercial outcome for the clubs. Playing in that competition is fantastic for our players, our clubs and for our sponsorship."

With several players out of contract and a $900,000 price tag on the head of influential midfielder Carlos Hernandez, whose loan deal with his Costa Rican club is set to expire, the club's football department budget could take a hit in the next few months. Miles admitted the club faced a battle to keep the current squad together.

"For us we have a bit of work to do post-grand Final with a number of our players," he said. "We've agreed with the players' agents and the club that we'll leave any of those discussions until after the Grand Final.

"(Hernandez) is an excellent player and as are other players that we'd love to keep at the club and that will be an issue for the club and board post Grand Final."

The other off-field issue facing the club at the moment is the search for a major sponsor with Samsung set to end their deal at season's end. Miles said the club hoped to announce a new deal in the near future.

"We've had some good discussions with a number of companies and we're very optimistic about announcing a major sponsor shortly," he said.

"The climate has changed, it is a bit tougher out there. We certainly understand that, When you look at Melbourne Victory, the membership we have, the fan base, it shows the opportunities for companies to becoming involved."
