Well if Adidas are prepared to pay £70million a year, so be it, Nike thought it was too much, fair play to them

Utterly mental. And how much money was it that caused Hereford to go under, about £38,000 wasn't it?

strong and stable with me, or...
Real Madrid and Man Utd both sell about 1.5m shirts each per year. What are they, £50 each…. plus all the other merchandise.
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.

Shows what a poor negotiator Barber was on our deal.
Bet he failed to mention our pie sales as well during tense negotiations.
Barber out!

Well, for these sort of clubs the number of shirts sold is largely an irrelevance to the sportswear brand.
The next meeting adidas has with Real Madrid could be fun, though.

Which will make it all very difficult to explain away their accounts when the FFP fairy comes round.

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.
I believe an NSC'er is on BBC 1 North West tonight revealing the winners and losers from the deal.

Or a football club's press officer / commercial director?
As football gets bigger and bigger, it also gets more political and media-savvy, with sound-bites issued to keep the fans happy.

The annual sales revenue of adidas is 19bn US dollars - that's £10,000,000,000. Nike is 50% bigger than that again.
These deals are not about shirt sales, they are about advertising because their logos appear in masses and masses of print and internet media along with primetime TV - the value of which if bought in the regular market would be astronomically high.
Modern-day elite football loves it, of course, because this is all about "the brand".

Now being reported on the BBC as £75 million per year. Add to that the £53 million per year they are now getting for Chevrolet for the logo on the shirt and you have the cost of Brighton's stadium being covered by one year of kit sponsorship. Crazy money.
