Sponsor to pay for new players?

[caracaracara]

I was watching Ian Ayre last night on LFC TV going on about how they have increased the marketing revenue by 85% over 3 years blah blah.

 

Well why doesn't he get sponsors to buy players for LFC? Mad or what?

 

Last week went on a stadium tour of Cologne - their fans are as passionate as we used to be with a similar capacity.

 

When we got to the media area the tour guide told a story about Poldolski.

 

Couple of years ago he went from Cologne to Bayern then got homesick. Beginning of last season one of the sponsors paid £10Million to bring him back home.

 

So if you or any of your webhawks is reading this mr Ayre then get your finger out and get a few sponsors to trump up a few players between them.......

 

What is the flaw in the above? Discuss.

Adidas had a major say in Bringing Zidane and later Beckham to Real Madrid, selling jerseys etc.

Mad thing is we sell more Jerseys for Adidas than any other club side maybe they can buy us a player, our last home Jersey was there biggest selling club Jersey of all time.

Am I right in saying though that our deal with adidas suits them far better than it suits us ? Financially.

I'd say you could be right, we could get alot more if we let Adidas do all our retro gear, instead of our own brand retro shirts for example, I've no doubt Madrid get more money than us even though we sell more kits than them.

Well Rick Parry helped set up the deal we have so its kind of a given we lose out on it. Hopefully the next deal with them will see us earn a decent amount.

Is there any where they show the yearly sales figures for the different clubs?

Its out there somewhere, I seen an article a few months back saying that we were there biggest sellers, not really surprising that, we're absolutly massive worldwide.

I think we just get a flat fee from Adidas so the only benefit we get from increased shirt sales is if they're bought in the club shops. Adidas are probably coining it in off us.

[RedKnight]

I think it's to do with international rights too. Like adidas can produce gear with the liverbird on it for sale outside of the UK and we don't see a penny. Hence the cold war between adidas and the club on retro gear, that's a battle the club will never win. Those retro strips with only stripe look like they've come from the market.

I'm wearing one of those shirts! Fair point though bid happily pay double to get the Adidas symbol on there!

Love the dry sarcasm.

 

I read a story recently that AC's sponsors, Fly Emirates were going to buy or pay his wages or something...Honda i think it was.

I was serious! Adidas Originals make an 80s Dalglish 7 shirt for 60£! Limited edition! WTF?! I've got money. Waiting. And they won't sell me one because they didn't make enough! I've resorted to scouring eBay unsuccessfully. Do they really look that bad? Have got 3: crown paints 87/88 red and grey away and crown paints 85-86 league cup double! Had an original bird cr*p shirt too until the missus barracuda me into getting rid ;'(

I have the three adidas originals reproductions of our '80s shirts they're ace, they didn't cost me £60. The club ones are horrible blag shite.
