Great post as always fella. That "shirt sales" phrase has irritated me for years, and your "hit parade" comparison is perfect. Shirts make hardly any money. Broadcasting football is of course where the money is now, and will be more and more and more. I remember talking to someone who knows football about the time of the takeover, and questioning exactly how much more money football can make, and his answer was "Trust me, when you have tens of millions of Asians paying £50 for a season ticket to watch their English club on the internet, you'll see real money in the game. The current stuff is pin money".
I think this is what we are seeing realised before our eyes, small step by small step. And this is part of it. China is fucking massive. And is getting fucking rich.
Almost a fifth of the world's population - that's one hell of a, largely, untapped market.

Aye how i yearn for that Kippax asbestos roof,crumbling terraces,shithole khazis,bovril and smax,greenhall whitley bitter,being herded about like animals and being battered by the south yorkshire police and Tony Cunningham missing 3 yard sitters.sorry, i might go slightly against the grain here, but this doesn't sit very easy with me, football just aint what it was.
(yes yes, its a global business etc, i know)

It's big, it's untapped, and it's rapidly becoming a Superpower. It's America without its own daft sports.

Console yourself with the thought that it was the G14 that made football that way and we've now outflanked them completely off the field and I'm sure that in the next few years we'll grind them into the dust on the field.sorry, i might go slightly against the grain here, but this doesn't sit very easy with me, football just aint what it was.

City are at the forefront of a footballing revolution.
Football clubs haven't been run like businesses, and we've walked right through the gaping hole and embarrassed the lot of them.

well they do love badminton for some reason, and they have live audiences to watch people play against each other in computer games.
