Didn’t we own them as a club?

Shirts will presumably still brandish the tick and sell in their millions globally so a win/win for Nike?As the general levy said some deals sound better than they are as the club sign away a lot more in rights than others. We hold onto a lot that other teams don’t and get our value that way
If pool do get a mega deal then fair play to them
I do find it odd that clubs that have a bigger following in countries that pirate football shirts get bigger deals

You are not paying only for the right to sell the shirts, it increasing brand awareness and you sell other goods.But they don’t
That’s the myth
You basically have first world countries that buy shirts and third world that fake them
The big sell is the brand association element that sells others products

The sneaker giant posted first-quarter revenue of $1.38 billion for the Greater China region, the 17 consecutive quarter of double-digit sales growth.
Chelsea have a huge West African following also I believe.Exactly
That’s the appeal of Liverpool
I never understood it with Chelsea though I have to say
With arsenal there seems to be a large African fan base
City have a fake one
Chelsea have a huge West African following also I believe.

Gate receipts down £8m on the previous year. Shows how Wembley became so unloved (and that figure was even with the boost of 5 games back at the Lane).That gate receipts number will be smashed out of the park with the new ground but we still won’t get a full season in it....
will bridge any gap from European revenues loss short term at least
Didn’t we own them as a club?
Did we? We had them for 6 years, great kits.
Misconception is they are Danish but are actually German company

If food and drink Inc in merchandising?
Yes I was being rather polite about Wembley...Became?!?!? New Wembley is total bullsh&t for football games and I feel that most knew that heading in to the arrangement...It must have made sense for business reasons and probably was the lesser of a few evils in terms of access but given our form there and the fact that it's a vacuous hollow soul destroying excuse of a stadium I reckon we did real well to "put up" with it in the way that we did (I'm saying this hypocritically as I only went a few games during that period but hey I don't live local...).
Anyone wanna break down these finances for us money simpletons? Does it mean we gonna win something or just more of the same failure coated as a big glory because our profit margins exceed West Ham's 400 times over*

Some interesting numbers. So what will go up/down from there next year?
Financial Highlights
Revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 was £460.7m (2018: £380.7m).
Premier League gate receipts were £34.3m (2018: £42.6m). Home matches in the 2018/19 season were played at Wembley Stadium for 14 of the 19 home Premier League games, and at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (“THS”) for the remaining five games.
The Club reached the Final of the UEFA Champions League (2018: Round of 16 of UEFA Champions League) resulting in gate receipts and prize money of £108.4m (2018: £62.2m). This represents the 13th time in the last 14 seasons that the Club has played in Europe.
Revenue from the domestic cup competitions earned the Club £3.1m (2018: £4.4m).
Television and media revenues increased to £149.9m (2018: £147.6m), due to an additional live televised game and overseas media revenues, whilst the Club finished 4th in the Premier League (2018: 3rd).
Sponsorship and corporate hospitality revenue was £120.3m (2018: £93.4m) and merchandising revenue was £20.6m (2018: £16.0m). Other revenue contributed £24.1m (2018: £14.5m).
Profit from operations, excluding football trading and before depreciation was £172.7m (2018: £162.5m). Profit for the year after all charges including interest and tax was £68.6m (2018: £113.0m).
The opening of THS in April 2019 has seen a significant investment in tangible assets totalling £1.4bn (2018: £1bn) – facilities which include the Training Centre, the new Players’ Lodge, Percy House, (home of the Tottenham Hotspur Foundation), Lilywhite House (Club offices), new retail warehouse, new Paxton House Ticket Office and the Tottenham Experience.
The total cost of intangible assets was £332m (2018: £327m) and subsequent to the year end a further £184m has been spent on player registrations.
These investments have been financed by profits made by the Club, advanced sponsorship monies and bank finance, principally from Bank of America Merrill Lynch International, Goldman Sachs Bank USA and HSBC Bank plc. At 30 June 2019, the Club had net debt of £534m (2018: £360m).
Subsequent to the year end, our total debt of £637m was converted in September 2019 into a mix of long-term maturities with an average life of 23 years.
Running the Club within Financial Fair Play regulations, whilst servicing debt and continuing to invest in both tangible and intangible assets continues to be a key focus for the Board.
