spoonman Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 For a club that is supposedly having to "cut costs" we still made 7m last season, and that's not including selling off our squad. Check this out : LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 We secured two record deals for sponsorship. That matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillinvillan Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 ...and of course, a bit of Champs League exposure would have us storming up the table, too. ..Bit of a paradox there I'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 20 yr league table. Saw this before (not sure if fits in with the branding, but not worthy of new thread), league table of 20 yrs in the prem....always a team full of draws...far too many...

Zatman Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 The problem being most of the kids when they actually do break through they don't get the opportunities due to the cliquey first team set ups or managers without vision. would agree with this statement and not just on England it happens a lot around Europe you need a really strong manager like Fergie or a Van Gaal who will have faith in youth talent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CI Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 I was in acocks green the other day and I saw two young Indian brothers out, both wearing Liverpool tops Like it or not, Liverpool are simply put, light years ahead of us in terms of a proper global brand Wherever you go in the world you will see knock off stuff for probably half a dozen teams namely, Liverpool United Chelsea Barca Real possibly Munich/Arsenal sometimes Inter & AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemk39 Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 villa might be 19th but that means nothing when theres no money to spend on players. we were close to being the biggest brand in the championship. big deal weve got the history but that doesn't bring trophies.

Check this out : LINKI looked at these figures, which are set out in more detail in the paper Guardian today, and thought "Oh, we are really in very bad trouble." I can't see how you dedúce £7m "made" last year from these figures. No figures in the charts, whether added or subtracted, seem to come to 7. Maybe I'm missing something?

GasGasGas Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 How on earth did we go from 25 to 19 with the season we just had. The same reason why: LOL @ West Ham ranked higher than Valencia, and Seattle ranked higher than Atletico Madrid... Stoke more valuable than Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Lazio or Fiorentina. Fulham and Sunderland more valuable than Celtic, Bayer Leverkusen and those mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fulham and Sunderland more valuable than Celtic, Bayer Leverkusen and those mentioned above. Don't local teams get far more support in Britain than they do in Spain and Italy? I'm pretty sure there are more Asian fans (Asian meaning people in Asia) of West Ham than there are Asian Atletico fans, while in the Latin American world it's all Barca and Real Madrid so even there the smaller Spanish teams don't get looks in.

Daholteend Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 LOL @ West Ham ranked higher than Valencia, and Seattle ranked higher than Atletico Madrid... magroll Don't laugh too much at Seattle Sounders magroll. As MLS teams go, the Sounders have a supporters strength as good as any and they also play decent football. After Aston Villa, I have always followed Real Madrid, so I enjoy the Sounders being ranked more highly than Atletico who since they let Suarez, Forlan and Aguero go probably should have declined in brand value. The Sounders can often get a gate of 68,000 for selected games. They choose however to limit attendance to 39000 for regular games and sell out every game. West Ham has always had a latent value since the days of Bobby Moore. Too bad for them their results have never matched their fans expectations. hmmmmmmm remind you of anybody?

rodigan Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 we may be 19th in terms of overall value, but to put in context, the value of the man u brand is almost 10 times that of the villa brand. the value of the villa brand is $87m -a good number, although to put it into context, if RL sold the brand, it would cover our wage bill for a year... man u would cover there's for 5.6 years, tottenham for 2.5 years, newcastle, who are below us, would cover their wage bill for 1.6 years. actually, compared to our wage bill, the value of our brand is the worst of all premier league clubs ranked in the top 50.

AVFCforever1991 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 How can our wage bill still be high, I mean we have got No players lol.. Half our squad has come from the youth academy...sure we've got some players on high wages, but overall not that much anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah agreed they are payed far too much...I think if we get rid of Collins,dunne,warnock, agbonlahor then we should have cut our wage bill a lot more..
