I still think PIF should get a Saudi company to order 1 million NUFC-shirts from the club and then donate them to poor people. That would give us some money for new players.

 

Edit: Maybe have it as a standing order every summer

Shirt sales mostly go to adidas not us.

Mostly as in far more than 50%?

The rules are a disgrace and time will tell if they are removed. It was depressing AF supporting the club from 2007-2021. We had snippets of hope with the 5th placed finish and having players like Ba, Cabaye and Ben Arfa and then Benitez. But it always ended up in tears. We actually have a club that has ambition again, one of the best managers in our history and we go into every game knowing we are going to compete. We will be in and around the top 7/8 and dont have to dread the relegation battles and having our best players sold and not replaced. If any of our best players are sold, the club have continuously stated they will always spend the maximum that they can within the rules.

Yeh. Apparently Liverpool get 20% and that’s massively high.  
 

Adidas manufacture and distribute it which is the bulk of the cost so why wouldn’t they get the lion share?

Depends, if they print out shirts of you and me they sell zero.  I would guess it would be more than 50% but it depends on how many they think they will sell. Anyway, I do believe you. Didn't know what the cut was.

It depends largely on where the shirt was bought from as well, as per https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/22898752/premier-league-man-utd-arsenal-shirt-sales/

 

“German sports marketing expert Dr Peter Rohlmann has revealed the break down of each £80 sum.

Their report claims that from an £80 shirt, clubs receive a £4.80 licensing fee.

The retailer then gets £26.40 - meaning if the shirt is bought directly from the club, this money goes to them.

Manufacturers, Adidas in Man United and Arsenal's case, then get £23.47.

Of the rest, £13.33 goes toward VAT, while £1.60 goes to local distribution and £2.40 on marketing.

Each shirt is claimed to cost £8 to make.”

 

So for a shirt bought from the club directly, the percentage is more like 39%, whereas if bought at say Shit Direct it’s closer to 6%.

Just as well we don’t sell them there then 😂

Yeh so the bulk of the revenue goes to the manufacturer and retailer.

SkySports, “why £130m is only the start of City rebuild”. Fuck. This. Shit.

And of course, when Ashley owned us, the club shop was basically a rebadged S***** D*****, so the retailer money for sales at the club shop would still have gone to him, not the club.

So basically we all need to buy directly from the club over buying from JD Sports, or Adidas.

For what it's worth, got mine shipped over from the club shop.

Ashley also plastered every flat surface at SJP with a Shite Direct logo and NUFC got paid zero for it during most of his reign of cuntishness 
 

Is there any other club in the history of the top flight that year after year after year has given away one of their most valuable money making assets for free ? 
 

And where were the Premier League’s PSR & APT nonces with their FMV equations when we were getting fuck all for something worth tens of millions ? 
 

They didn’t give one solitary fuck, because we were never ever going to be a threat to the cartel 

 

 

 

 

Christ could you imagine the carry on and fume from the media if Jim did what Mike Ashley did to us. Could you imagine Gary Neville, Rio etc with the platform they have if Man utd sold their best players, invested nothing in new players over many windows, painted old Trafford in blue and red sports direct tatty logos, renamed the stadium to 'sports direct arena' without paying a penny in sponsorship for many years. Etc etc..

 

Christ we really did let him take the piss out of us didn't we, oh god it's all come flooding back. The league and the media just sat and laughed at us and never said a peep about the disgrace that whole era was. 

 

For that alone we should have been allowed a grace period to have some fun in the transfer market with our new owners but no, shut it all down and keep those plucky northerners quiet .

it’s a different Emirate to be fair so there is a degree of separation. 
 

ALDAR sponsorship, along with Etihad is somewhat on the nose.
