How can the Puma contract be ripped up because we sign a player?

Total commercial revenue is £227m in YE2019. You say Puma is c£65m leaving £162m. 80% of that is £126m. We know that Etihad is at least £67.5m from CAS and it is probably more with bonuses in 2019. I need to find max £58.5m pa from Etisalat, VisitAD, AD Bank, Nexen and no doubt others in that list. I'm pretty confident it's 80%. I don't know. I never claimed to know. As we all know this whole forum is speculation.

I am sure the existing revenue base is insufficient to support Messi but Messi's presence should be transformative. And the Etihad deal is up for renewal...

Premier League players are genuinely excited about the prospect of playing v Messi, if the interviews so far are anything to go by.

Only half the media who are in the pockets of the Cartel, are looking at the negatives.

Players, even some rags & scousers are looking at the bigger picture of what this means for the league they work in.

Pulis was in The Times at the weekend and somewhat surprisingly he was all in favour of this deal happening. “Club Shop” said Messi would smash it and even reckoned he could do it on a wet Wednesday night at Stoke.

If this was utd there would be wall to wall coverage, bugger it they would start a new sodding channel for it. They would literally clear the schedule for sky sports premier league with hastily made shows, interviews from every **** to wear a red shirt that is still alive, melodic music over montages etc the effing lot.

Papers are much the same, you would not know it is going on if you click half the back pages. Independent gets a special mention for having it stuffed 3/4's of the way down the page under the european footy section. Not like this has anything at all to do with City and the prem is it. Then again, anyone who employs miguel delaney should be assumed shitbags as a standard.

Umm - is Nexen not a S Korean company (i.e. nothing to do with AD)? Don't know how much they pay for shirt sleeve sponsorship but it will be a cut above most sponsors as it's on the match shirts. Also now Marathon Bet (E Europe) on the training kit and quite a few other non-AD companies on the sponsor list. the point I'm making is I don't doubt that AD-based companies make up a significant portion of commercial income but 80% seems unlikely now.

Don't worry I'm off so I think the financial debate will subside - I shouldn't have responded to being falsely quoted. I'm sure we'll be absolutely fine and none of the other clubs will bat an eyelid.

Jokes aside, as someone that has often gotten **** about my profession and the insufferable poshness and boring nature of it (which, in all honesty, is fair enough), I do genuinely appreciate @projectriver, @Prestwich_Blue, and a few others that regularly stick their neck out to offer their expertise.

During the CAS appeal I think most blues found their posts informative and insightful. And the financial implications of this transfer (closer to my expertise, so it does interest me, though I have no experience in the commercial side of football) are a relevant and important topic, even if a bit dull at times.

My only goal was to defuse some of the seriousness and tension that was starting to permeate the thread, which often leads to handbags, something I think most of us could do without right now.
 
Another view on this saga:

I honestly think president Bartomeu fear for his own safety and that's why he's so reluctant to let Messi go. Could you imagine the number of angry Barca-fans who hate his guts, not only for destroying their club but ultimately will be the one responsible for Messi, their greatest ever player, dumping the club after two decades?

This is bigger than we think. For Barca and its fans, it's an absolute catastrophe.
If Messis father addressed the Barca-board and not only Bartomeu, maybe he could swing a few of them to realize Messi is never coming back. They need to realize everything he's done for them and find a friendly exit by honouring his wish.
