Dokko Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Anyone thinking they'll make much money of a Beckham loan is wrong. The club want £1.5m to loan him for 9 weeks, while you'll have to pay his basic wages of £100k a week and Beckham holds all his image rights and will want a decent % of any merchandise sold due to his arrival. Even at £50 a pop for a top and lettering you'd need to sell 48,000 to break even not including costs of making them in the first place. Basically every Sunderland fan would have to buy one, which simply won't happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Lol Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Steve Bruces confirms he has spoken with David Beckham and is interested in signing him. why do i get the feeling it has less to do with half the managers in the league wanting beckham and more to do with accountants counting the amount of beckham shirts that could be sold and other money making chances using beckham Aye thats about the jist of it,whatever club gets him will make some serious cash on the commercial side. Do you really think that so many people would buy a Beckham shirt? He'd be at their club only for 3 months or so. I don't think Spurs going after Beckham has much to do with shirts. AEG is one of Beckham's sponsors, they are the main investors in LA Galaxy and they are also Spurs' partners in their bid to take over the Olympic stadium. As taking the Olympic site is about £150m cheaper than redeveloping WHL, I think getting Beckham is more about getting that done than time on the pitch/selling shirts/raising the club's profile/being a presence on the training ground. Don't know what the other clubs reasoning would be but they are my thoughts on Spurs' reasoning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
