I wanted a feeder club for a commercial link for my Man Utd team to get merchandising money in.

Both clubs have got the same reputation, New England I have to pay an annual fee of 622k and Columbus I have to pay 2.04m, is this because Columbus are the better option?

The third option is Saitama Utd in Japan which I've never heard but could be more fans = more money?

What do you reckon?

can anyone advise me which club to go with please, cheers

The reason why you've never heard of Saitama Utd is that all the Japanese teams are fake.

I'd say new england..1stly less annual fee. 2ndly they are not as bad as you may think. Is it New England Revolution? the team that Taylor Twellman plays for? they are an ok side.

retired_dillytl

yeah its new england revolution

because they both american teams would I get the same amount of merchandising money back from either, or would one be better than the other?

The team that you have to pay the higher yearly fee is normally the best option in the long run. You are able to cover the costs with the higher income than if you got one of the other clubs.

Roughly how much extra merchandising money can i expect to get from this deal, presumably much more than £2m a year.

Higher fee is normally the best bet as the higher the fee the better the feeder's reputation.

Thanks all, I've gone for Columbus, should pay off in the long run.
