I suppose an investment in a lower team would be more practical than a higher team surely a lower team can improve more meaning more goals and more cash earning opportunities almost like buying low and selling high Zoology 2001 to 2011 Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 14-11-2012 10:43 AM Stakker Nunk Development is my bidness.

Nowadays those same little scrotey teams don't even hide the fact that they wish they'd get bought by a sugar daddy so they can invest money stolen from governments or from oil or construction to 'Championship Manager Cheat Mode' their way to being the next Man Shitty or Chelski.

Leeds have a massive and very loyal fan base. So it makes good commercial sense, especially with the new spending rules coming into place. It makes more sense to invest in a club like Leeds that a smaller premier league club like say Wigan. http://essexvintagefair.com/ Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 14-11-2012 11:00 AM Coops Registered: Jul 2003 Posts: 18545 - Threads: 513 Location: Quote: Stakker wrote on 14-11-2012 10:58 AM When United were investing the money they earned from FOOTBALL into expanding their stadium and being shrewd in commercialising their brand image, little scrotey teams all cried about how unfair it was.

Life is far too important to be taken seriously Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 14-11-2012 11:17 AM Donnie-B Registered: May 2012 Posts: 4133 - Threads: 366 Location: London Quote: Hanky wrote on 14-11-2012 11:17 AM Out of interest, how were united "shrewd" in commercialising their brand image? They have been to be fair. Various sponsorships, even their training kit has a bigger sponsorship in DHL than most clubs have for their main sponsor Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 14-11-2012 11:21 AM Coops Registered: Jul 2003 Posts: 18545 - Threads: 513 Location: Quote: Hanky wrote on 14-11-2012 11:17 AM Out of interest, how were united "shrewd" in commercialising their brand image? They have been far from shrewd IMO. despite their massive fan base they have been languishing in the Championship for some time. http://essexvintagefair.com/ Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 14-11-2012 11:23 AM Stakker Nunk Development is my bidness.

Its fairly common knowledge that Manchester United were at the forefront of realising the potential value inherent in an famous established football club. Realising the untapped value of overseas fans, TV channel, Merchandise, Megastore etc. stakker.org Kites - Official Site Kites on Myspace Kites on Facebook Report this post to a moderator | IP: Logged 14-11-2012 11:23 AM All times are GMT.
