just wanted to clarify if there was any way to squeeze merchandising money out of going on friendly tours in the preseason (particularly to the international merchandising nations in USA, China + Japan). If yes, do you have to have an affiliate in that nation for it to work?
I ask because i've read a few things about how much money the big clubs now make from international connections (merchandising and advertising). I think it was Man Utd's sponsor who said that using a club wasn't to advertise to britain, it was to advertise to Asia. Recently Rafa Benitez also mentioned that the money that they would have lost (by not qualifying from the group stage in the ECC) could easily have been made up by a couple of friendlies in asia.
friendly tours - are they money-spinners?
