quayside Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Can't find it but I'm sure Llambias was quoted saying the money we bring in from merchandise was very little. £17m from merchandising and sponsorship in 2011/2012 http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/mike-ashley-want-prices-low-1361584 Our turnover on retail is £5m a year and we make £100,000-200,000. It’s not where you think it would be. Eh, that doesn't make sense to me, is he saying we bring in £5m on retail but retail costs are £4.8m-4.9m? Appears so. No way that is true like. It can't be, they'd be the worst business people ever. Oh, hang on. In all seriousness, they might as well shut them down if the profit margin is that s***. Like you say it sounds like f***ing bullshit, as ever. Unless it is outsourced and the club gets the £100,000 - £200,000 as a commission or fee on the £5 million of sales. If you see what I mean.

Perhaps, in which case Llambias is leading people down a garden path with his quotes. It's an absolute piss-take if that's going on like, it used to be a big cash cow.

Wullie Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Well there's absolutely no way that's the profit margin on football shirts, as Freddy Shepherd will tell you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Our merchandise sales cover their own costs and the rest is quietly frittered away to SDs profits? Why am I not surprised Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Don't worry guys, I'm sure it'll improve with nobody Joe Kinnear sort of in charge. Don't worry, I've been assured the club doesn't need anybody running it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
