A sports financial analyst on Radio5 a few months back, said that each time ManU, Arsenal, LFC, RealM, Barca, Spurs etc leak/announce these figures, they can be taken with a huge pinch of salt.
There is much exaggerating / stretching to the limit that goes on, re kit deals and main sponsor deals, in a PR exercise to usurp rivals.
He said although not outright lies, in reality, the headline figures mentioned are very difficult to achieve and mostly likely won't be.
But still huge regardless.
Their badge makes me want to vomit, it doesn't matter what rag it's printed on.I quite liked their old adidas efforts:
Real Madrid and Man Utd both sell about 1.5m shirts each per year. What are they, £50 each…. plus all the other merchandise.

I believe an NSC'er is on BBC 1 North West tonight revealing the winners and losers from the deal.
Never believe a word anyone says on Five Live!

I recently went to Madrid, the Real shirt is 90Euro's!!!!!
take off the VAT, retail margin, shipping and manufacturing... you have to wonder if its really worth it. though probably comes out of the vast marketing budget, doesn't get counted against sales so they dont care.
