Happy Fox Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 That article says we have Billionaire owners! Since when! Well Stringer seems to think so Paresh_Soni Paresh Soni @ @IanStringerBBC It's a rehashed old story. The Raksriaksorns aren't billionaires. Lazy journalism.

Hack Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 Cobblers! Infact there's probably as much chance as him playing for Northampton Town and anyway if we are walking the league by then (which we could be in my dreams) why would you want to disrupt things for a month by sticking a "big time charlie" in the team? To drive revenues both in Leicester and in Asia. It would mean they could up the price of telivising the games in Thailand and how many shirts could they sell with Beckham on it. As well Leicester will be on every news broadcast in the UK and the world following Becks. May not be the best thing for team unity but it would bring in the big bucks.
shiv Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 So we're gonna try and get him in January when his contract expires in November?
cc_star Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 I disagree, it's totally plausible. Six weeks at £200k. They'd get double that back in shirt sales plus some. We would make a profit. These guys are businessmen and they know what they are doing. A long term deal at that money would not be worth it, but short term it would be brilliant. It must be worth £1.2m just to get Beckham in a Leicester City shirt for six weeks. T he Asians. would go mad for it. No other team I can think of ( except Blackburn Rovers maybe ) could make a profit out of a six week deal signing Beckham. I can't see anyone else in this country going for him. I can actually see this happening in January. Except we won't make from shirt sales etc players like Becks negotiate image rights deals which dwarf their wages to ensure they're the one's who benefit from any uplift Yes it would suit the Asians but it certainly won't suit Becks US endeavours or his family.
Callabinho Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 That article says we have Billionaire owners! Since when! There is more than meets the eye with our owners, they obviously have a vast wealth beyond our imaginations, their not stupid and wouldn't be putting this kind of money into the club if it wasn't sustainable, don't just beleive what it tells you on the net, plus Stringer has seen where they live he tells me it's ridiculous!

Course it's ridiculous, have you seen the size of house you can have for £100k (away from sales to Brits) over there nevermind £130m
wurmer Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 Not Going To Happen Now move along please, move along....
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 would love this... never will happen, but if it does, great
Happy Fox Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 Interesting about what jonno24 and PWII said on the 9th of July, the likelyhood of this happening is slim but who knows anything is a possibility with :sge: and Top
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 This could actually happen. then please tell us how... o.O
SouthLondonFox Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 I disagree, it's totally plausible. Six weeks at £200k. They'd get double that back in shirt sales plus some. We would make a profit. . To make the maths easier, let's assume all the shirt sales are adult sizes, at £40 a pop. Take off the VAT, and the gross revenue from the sale of each shirt is £33.33. Now let's assume the cost of sale is £12.00 - not the cost of manufacture, but the full cost of sale - it's just a guess, but bear with me. Let's also assume there are no other costs associated with Beckham being here for 6 weeks (there will be, of course), so the pre-tax profit on the sale of each shirt is £21.33. That means we have to sell an additional 56,259 shirts to cover Beckham's wages of £1.2 million. These are "additional" shirts - not shirts that would be bought anyway, but have Beckham on the back instead of someone else. Given that a huge proportion of them would be cheaper kids' shirts, then that figure goes up; given the other costs Beckham will incur for the club, the figure goes up again; I don't know the club's corporation tax arrangements when it comes to merchandise, but that pushes the figure up further. Taking all of this into account, let's make a conservative estimate of 75,000 shirts needing to be sold to cover the cost of bringing Beckham to the club. You say they will get double the cost of Beckham back from shirt sales, so that makes additional shirt sales of 150,000... Does anyone know how many shirts we sell in a year?
Guest Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 Well I heard they sold 1 kermogant shirt to his mother;
artursteppe Posted 31 July 2011 Posted 31 July 2011 Except we won't make from shirt sales etc players like Becks negotiate image rights deals which dwarf their wages to ensure they're the one's who benefit from any uplift Yes it would suit the Asians but it certainly won't suit Becks US endeavours or his family. So what you are saying is Beckham would get millions out of it, but it wouldn't suit him, huge income for just six weeks. What are you on? you should drink more milk.

You're forgetting image rights, these often dwarf wages Beckham himself (well his own offshore, for tax reasons, company which manages his image rights) will be the principle beneficiary of shirt sales... plus a lot of these sales could be in the far east where they're all either rip-offs or genuine but sold for much, much less. But anyway, rise in shirt sales = money for Beckham. We'd gain by association, but not monetarily

How many billions of people are there in Asia, how many millions in Thailand and Malaysia? I think you are asking if 150,000 extra shirt sales would be possible. You are aving a larf aren't you? Your maths is quite good your conclusion is 'village'.

What are you on? you should drink more milk. What are you on, it obviously won't compare to the wealth he's creating by building brand Beckham in the states, or his families stability He categorically stated the other day by his game Vs ManU that he will NOT be returning to Europe, it was 100% clear & left no wriggle room Wake up smell the coffee & get real, straight from the horses mouth himself or a badly written piece of journalistic opportunism which contradicts itself

No, I'm not having a laugh and what is my conclusion? I just asked a question.
