What's the % we take for each shirt sold? If it's even 10% off the rrp of £70, and it's just the home shirt with 2m sales, you can see why FSG fancied the Nike deal.

 

 

From my dodgy maths, this would be £58m just from the upfront payment and home shirt sales.

 

Given the ecru shirt is one of our best ever selling away shirts, the 3rd kit and the leisurewear, you’d think this will well exceed the £70m estimate.

It was a £30m base fee then 20% of merchandise which covers every LFC Nike product. So that would be £28m just for the home shirt.

Cheers lads, suppose the gear being made by Nike has added a few sales too. Some of the training/leisure gear has been lovely.

Man City getting more sponsorship money than us is so laughable it is beyond bent.

 

A total piss take.

Just a pity us, Man Utd and Chelsea are unknowns or we might have a royal blue segment of £20m for naming rights.too.

I know.

 

How we can compete with a name as rich in history and with decades of success and fame around the world, and a massive worldwide fanbase as manchester city, i just don't know.

The £580m will go up again next year with the new shirt deal, more sponsors and the Nike deal. Matchday revenue will probably break the £100m barrier once the ARE is expanded. I think we've had about 8 extra home games with all the Cup competitions. 

 

Peter Moore said a few seasons ago that the aim was to break the £500m revenue barrier to be a top club.  Looks like the club will be exceeding £600m soon.

No excuse to not massively back Jurgen in the summer now.

 

Two great midfielders and another forward will do.

Tariq Lamptey to rotate with Trent

Mount/Gallagher to eventually replace Hendo

A target man type to replace Origi/Taki

 

That’s the dream.

Roy Hodgson, is that you?

Only if you polished this off before bed last night.

Looking forward to the complaining about the wages and bonuses we’ll paid for this season in 18 months time. 

[Dr Nowt]

Won't there also be some financial boost from being the last English team standing in terms of the TV pot money split? Certainly for the final anyway, as we'd have had to share it with City had they not suffered a terribly unfortunate and saddening mishap.

[Dr Nowt]

122.5 million euros if we win it. 

 

That header from Alisson is pure club folklore and really does deserve to be on a mural somewhere.

I thought this was a thing too.

 

The relatively small difference between us and Utd show why teams are desperate to get top 4 even if they are crap.

Definitely. Also, handily shows us how much United will be short by next year, just as they attempt a much-needed rebuild.

There's breaking news on Sky that RedBird are in talks to buy AC Milan.

Not sure any of those players fit what we do.

 

Gallagher is an interesting one where he looks great on TV but his underlying numbers in key area's are atrocious, that might be the role he's asked to play or the overall team tactics but a top club will need to be sure that it's scalable/an issue with age/development before looking at him as a legitimate signing for the amount he would cost.

 

Against midfielders he's in the bottom 11% for passes attempted, bottom 10% for pass completion, bottom 3% for progressive passes made, bottom 30% for progressive carries, yet scores highly in dribbles, touches in the attacking areas, progressive passes received, shots, goals.

 

Against attacking midfielders and wingers he fairs far worse.

I, for one have no desire for the quadruple and am absolutely giddy about the 'record money generated trophy.' It completely eclipses the Florida Cup and puts the Blooshite firmly in the shade.
