WHen I come to arrange a friendly at home against a big European team (or a mediocre club even) what is a good amount to offer to the opposition to come and play you? fe, if the revenue is said to be £200k, would an enticing figure be £190k? Or could it be as little as £50k? What do you tend to offer? Around 50%? 75? 25?

I usually offer a bit under 50% of the expected income, or nothing at all. Never taken it too seriously though and mostly just get the Ass Man to arrange them.

I usually offer the lowest amount on the options.

Same here, start low and work your way up. It is surprising how little money is needed sometimes.

Good thread.

I have wondered about the same question at times.

For me, it depends on the reputation of the club I'm facing. If it's a shitty little club, then most of the money that will be raking in from attendance ARE because of me and my club, so I give them very little and usually they're happy to be just making that amount anyway because without it, they'd be making nothing or even less.

If it's a bigger side, I may offer 40% or so even..
