Would imagine it comes down to who sells the most shirts... Spurs have a pretty massive supporter base for the size of the club. Average attendance was 67k last season despite playing at Wembley every week, which as you'll know is a pain in the arse to get to and fair bit further to get to if you actually live in the Tottenham area. All good and well playing amazing football and winning trophies if no one buys the shirt.Us - £12mil Nike/£40mil Etihad
Chelsea - £60mil Nike/£40mil Yokohama
United - £75mil Adidas/£53mil Chevrolet
Considering we have Pep, play beautiful football, dicked the league and have all these sister clubs across the world, we really need to push for higher sponsorship deals. Spurs get £30mil from Nike; is that because of all the trophies they've won or because of the 'local lad' Harry Kane's marketing appeal?
That said, you see a lot more City shirts in London these days. They have their own section in the Nike Store on Oxford St and the tacky tourist shops always have knock-offs of the home kit on sale alongside the London clubs, Utd, Liverpool, Barca & Real. Was watching a bit of the Kent v Essex T20 cricket yesterday on TV and saw a couple of City shirts in the crowd.
