Matt Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 We've been absolutely crap at building commercial partnerships. We're never going to be a global megabrand but there should be at least some proper effort. Do we even have anyone with proper commercial experience? Or is it just Charners and a fax machine?

Teasy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Its amazing we even have a commercial income at all with such a disgusting cunt at the top of the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncleBingo Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Commercial income lower than Norwich and Leeds. I mean, no disrespect but come the fuck on. Exactly, it's almost as if they're trying their very hardest to hold the club back......as well as seemingly being the only club in England desperate to post a financial loss. It's fair to say, we'd be out of business if it wasn't for the incredible generosity of Big Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teasy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 It would be very easy to increase commercial revenue above those three clubs even without spending time on commercial deals, just by doing our own catering. For instance in Leeds case £4m of the total £16m commercial revenue came from catering. But we outsource instead, so we see the overall revenue that comes from food and drink sales but of course incur none of the costs either (I assume we just get a relatively small fee from the catering company). As usual Ashley looking at keeping costs down first and foremost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Given we outsource food and merchandise it must be nearly impossible to make much more revenue than we do. We’d have to start selling the fixtures and fittings. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Given we outsource food and merchandise it must be nearly impossible to make much more revenue than we do. We’d have to start selling the fixtures and fittings. We could sell advertising space, rather that paste sportsdirect on everything for free. A club that is in the premier league most seasons having lower commercial revenue than a club that has been in the lower leagues since 2004 is spectacularly bad, there must be zero effort being put in.

We’d have to start selling the fixtures and fittings. If we weren't run like a corner shop the club could attract bigger sponsorship. We've got the manager, fans, football mad city, problem is the owner drags it all down into the mud.

A club that is in the premier league most seasons having lower commercial revenue than a club that has been in the lower leagues since 2004 is spectacularly bad, there must be zero effort being put in. We'd obviously done a deal with the shirt sponsor where we agreed to a huge drop in payments if we went down. Given that the year before commercial income was £28m (twice what it was in the Championship season). As I said though its not exactly apples to apples comparison here considering we're outsourcing a lot, half of Leeds commercial revenue comes from things that we outsource. We can only guess if that hurts us financially (it depends what the costs of those operations would be vs the potential extra revenue). But given its Ashley I suppose its reasonable to think it probably does hurt us. Or at the very least its a way to get the same money in but make it look like we aren't making as much (revenue is lower but profit the same).

Yorkie Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Layman accountancy question; why do they only post accounts so long after the actual event (without even factoring the typical NUFC delay) and can we even learn anything about our present situation given the gap in time?
