So Liverpool are for sale and now Utd. Have the American owners had there fun and decided to leave town. ??

Going by Twitter the Liverpool fans definitely don’t want anymore American owners ?
Could be bought with oil money?
Imagine it ???

Shirt sales - most deals now are a flat fee. Whether 1 shirt or 100k shirts are sold won't change the amount the club get. It will change the fee for the next deal but not the current one. The mfr, Nike, Adidas etc gets the money from sales, not the clubs.

Ronaldo's shirt sales therefore make next to no difference to utd, who already have a stonking deal. Thought it worth debunking this line of argument.

Plenty clubs are going for a lower flat base line in exchange for a bigger percentage of shirts sales

Utd I believe is around 10% of each shirt but with clauses depending on competitions they are in hence why the fee they get fluctuates each season

They got or reported to have got around £5 per shirt sold

That would be very funny, but then do I want them having even more to spend ?. I'm conflicted ?

Now surely they would be up in arms, however that is on my Xmas wish list. God forbid they have Qatari owners, either of them. ?

It wouldn’t matter what they won tho.
We could just whinge about oil money ?‍?

I’m sure someone would put a good spin on it even if Putin bought them ?

£5 on a shirt that costs £50 is nothing really to a club like utd. 100k Ronaldo shirts sold is £0.5m, pocket change. I don't know how many were sold this time but I doubt it covers 2 weeks wages. Not enough to keep a bad apple

They sold £190mil worth of shirts in his first two weeks back at the club - made the club around £20mil and was the fastest selling shirt ever

When Ronaldo signed for Utd, the value of the club rose by £271M, shirt sales were largely irrelevant.

Even Putin might pass the owners test!

Today is the day that just keeps on giving.
Does Jim Ratcliffe frequent these boards, perchance?

In that link it says the value has gone up 17% on the news of the possible sale ?

Discussing the Ronaldo situation, host Gary Lineker asked the Burnley boss if he would “take Ronaldo at Burnley?” to which he replied: “We need players that can run.” ?????

Joking aside Pep signs a new deal ????

City fans must be made up, there's a certain European Cup that eludes him since leaving Barca and I think he's giving himself the best opportunity to win it by staying put.

Also whoever follows pep is going to have to be one hell of a manager.
