He's right

10% used to the go to the pool. It doesn't any more - is just 50:50 between the clubs until the SFs. (Unless there's a non-league club vs a league or premier league club, in which case it's 55:45 in favour of the former. Which I didn't know.)

In the SFs, it's:

- 5.5% of the net gate receipts of each match shall be remitted to The Association and allocated for distribution to Affiliated Associations as determined by The
Association. The remainder of the net gate receipts shall be divided in accordance with (d)
below.

(d) In the Semi-Finals the remainder of the net gate receipts (less any payments to the staging
venue) of both matches shall be combined and divided as follows:
32.5% to The Association.
58.5% to be divided equally between the four Clubs.
9% to the Pool.
(e) “The Pool” (for the purposes of Rules 28(d) and 29(d)) shall be a fund held by The Association which shall be distributed as determined by the Professional Game Board from time to time.
