I guess, in the next years LCFC won't sell many shirts in Spain and all the

You may not realize it, but having a positive image is vital, if you want

Right now, after the sacking of Ranieri and Vardy's "dive"  we are the bad

guys almost everywhere. That is not good for business.

What a load of absolute drivel. Not only massively muggy but wrong as well.

 

Think Luis Suarez pretty emphatically shits all over your little positive image theory.

 Image. What. 

 

So nobody likes Barcelona because of what Suarez has done in the past then? 

 

Ali is the worse for diving in the Premier League yet nobody ever mentions him or Tottenham's "image".

There are plenty of other things that we could be called the "bad guys" for way beyond sacking a struggling manager and a player being involved in a sending off.

[justfoxes]

Nasri had payback for what he's been doing to other players for so many years the guy spat his dummy out of his pram when shown red ,also I thought Jamie Vardy handled it well Nasri trying to wind him up after his red to get him to bite but fair play to Vards he just calmly walked away something he wouldn't probably have done a while back!!

 

Samir Nasri upset with his Red Card!!

When Beaker went head to head with Vardy !!

[I am an Ostrich]

he should keep his head in the sand, not go butting our centre forward.

[TAFKA Castroneves]

Even though Vards will get more disrespect now from the media and fans of other clubs for his "antics" (hopefully we don't get any weak referees going forward who have a negative image of Vardy as well - Jon Moss anyone?) - deep down everyone wouldn't mind having that player in their side - because that player can make such a difference - like here with the Nasri incident. Vards finishing in the game was well below what he expects of himself - but he still proved such a difference with things like this rightly or wrongly.

 

It's a mild relief for me that we have a player in our club who can almost play the European clubs at their own game - Vards knows how to win a pen, a freekick in a dangerous spot - as do all the greats - so many "big" English sides have lost out to that in the past. That's the reason why we've actually got a decent shot here - i hope the team's working on freekicks (and pens) a lot heading into the Quarter Finals - even down to crazy stuff like how to keep their heads in the pressure of a penalty shootout, get the lads practicing at the end of training sessions when they've done a distance so they know what it will feel like etc.

 

Anyways yeah F Nasri

What is the difference between LCFC and Real or Barca?

Why does it not matter, business-wise, that Suarez is a

cheat, Naymar and Messi have "problems" with their

taxes and Ronaldo is sometimes behaving like a diva on steroids?

Because Real and Barcelona are winning title after title, year after

year. And football fans all over the world like to wear shirts of

successful teams.

If we were hauling in lots of silverware like the big fish, it

wouldn't matter, if the neutral football fans like us or not.

Success sells much more shirts than a positive image.

But if titles and silverware are few and far between, a 

positive image is the only way to increase the merchandising

income. Right now the big 4 are earning (almost) more money by

selling shirts, than we are earning by playing in the PL (see the link).

We can't afford to have a bad guy image. The owners know that

very well. Therefore they fired Pearson, who was a PR- disaster

and signed Ranieri, who was a PR- dream come true, in the first

place.

How do you know football fans all over the world like to wear shirts of successful teams? Have you done research? 

 

Bad guy image didn't effect Keane, Maradona et al. Still held in high esteem by many. 

 

Nothing personal, but this is one of the worst thought out posts I've read recently. 

[Struwwelpeter60]

"How do you know football fans all over the world like to wear shirts of successful teams? Have you done research? "

 

 

Obviously you have not followed the link.

Look at the numbers!!!

 

 

 

Bad guy image: if your club is successful, year

after year, it does not matter, if one of its players

has a bad image.

 

In case, that you still don't get it: we are selling 50,000

shirts per year, ManU are selling 1,750,000 shirts per

year, Barcelona 1,278,000 per year and Bayern

1,200,000 per year.

I think, we have some room for improvement.

Right?

I think most would be calling Vardy an absolute moron if it was the other way round. You don't put your head into another player, even more so if you've already been booked. It may be unsportsmanlike, but the days of the honest joe playing after his shift at the factory ended are long gone: the ones who try to play it straight in a crooked industry are naive fools who'll never amount to anything.

Oh no, we won't sell some bits of fabric in Spanish speaking countries, what a disaster - imagine there being some random kid in El Salvador wearing a Barcelona shirt rather than a Leicester one. As for most of this, you've put the cart before the horse - you don't become a successful club because you've got good merchandising, you have good merchandising because you're a successful club and glory supporters pile on.

 

Right now, after the sacking of Ranieri and Vardy's "dive"  we are the bad guys almost everywhere. That is not good for business.

 

It can be very good for football though. Seems to me like we've always been at our best with a siege mentality. Hypocritical pundits (e.g. Keown, who tried to undermine managers in his playing days) and band-wagoners - who the **** cares what they think, so long as that image hasn't spread to current players/managers we might want to bring in.

Did you know that for Premier League clubs in that period (2011-2016), Leicester rank 8th.  That's 8th over 5 seasons only 2 of which we've even been in the Prem for.  That's great going so what are you so worried about?  You think we should be selling more shirts than the 20 most historically popular clubs from every league around Europe?  When most of the world's only just heard about us in the past year or two?  You're being delusional.  Also most people recognise the incident for what it was: 2 dumb footballers being dumb and being appropriately punished with a yellow card each.  There is no PR crisis here and anyway, by your own logic the outcome of Vardy's dubious behaviour (negative global willpower, bad for shirt sales) was that we won the match and get to continue our run in Europe, granting us further success (good for shirt sales).  Now if we apply the Struwwel Theorem (that success as a reason for shirt sales negates any negative affects to global willpower sustained by dubious behaviour) then we must conclude that Vardy's dubious behaviour negated its own negative global willpower energy losses which resulted in it being good for shirt sales. Qed. Now stop whining.

Right now, for every shirt we are selling, ManU

It's also a fact Sven Goran Eriksson manages in china - and it's about as relevant. Man Utd don't sell more shirts than us because we sacked Ranieri and because Vardy got into a tussle with Nasri, they sell more shirts because they're one of the most successful clubs in the world. 

 

Also, what on earth is with all the weird line breaks. It makes a bizarre rant even harder to comprehend.

It is a fact.  What is that fact trying to prove exactly?  That we should be surprised that after our one title win we still don't have any where near as many foreign fans as Man Utd, the most successful team in English history, the team who dominated the football landscape for a good couple of decades?  No shit.  We've still sold a ridiculous amount of shirts recently so if you are the kind of person who worries about shirt sale levels this is probably the most irrelevant time to do so in the club's history.
