i take it we all Ukraine tonight .

 

Not really, hope Scotland win.

Then either from Wales v Scotland.

Genuinely have no idea why we'd rather Ukraine to either?

I know there's a conflict, but it's never meant I wanted Afghanistan or Iraq or Syria etc. to qualify.

 

And this point the finger completely at where the issues with United actually lie.

I'm sure someone will (incorrectly) say we 'sold enough shirts' to cover all this ****e.

 

because they're playing Scotland obviously

 

Yeah people dont get how Shirt sales work.
From what I understand, most often clubs get a fixed amount for allowing retailers to sell their shirts, they dont get commission.
Clubs agree a deal with the retailer, a deal that often lasts for a fixed period, like 5 years, the retailer pays that amount to the club as a one off payment, then the retailer makes most, if not all, of the money from the shirt sales, whether they sell 1 shirt or ten million shirts, the amount the club gets is pre-agreed.

 

I think we get 20% of all sales from Nike,, not sure how or when that's paid though, (lfc related sales of course)

 

was a Madrid TKO all down to their keeper being less bad than Trent and Virg

 

I guess different clubs have different agreements with different retailers.
Usually a retailer will approach a club and say "We want to sell your shirts" the club will then say "We estimate over a 2 year period, you'll make £25 million selling our shirts, so give us £15 million and you can sell our shirts", and the club gets paid upfront. Then after 2 years they renegotiate another deal, like with TV rights.

 

They'd probably be the easiest one for us to play against but I'd still prefer one of Wales/Scotland to qualify.

Wouldn't surprise me if Ukraine has a few dodgy decisions go in their favour tbh. Fifa would love to have the story of them qualifying for the WC with the conflict going on as it gives them a good story to sell.

 

On the money ... without Citeh, Liverpool would have won 3 titles in a row and with breathing space ... hardly 'cup manager' form that

 

three in 4 years actually with "Ole is at the wheel" Utd winning the other .

 

Fair enough.

Misread that room!

 

And Jose another.

 

could say the same for Spurs

Chelsea and City

very hard to conquer state funded teams

 

Are we Ukraine or are we Ukraine tonight?

 

well we aint anymore, so you gays cant use that as an excuse every 10 minutes now

 

Jocks tonight.

Only cos robbo

 

**** the Ukraine.
I personally couldnt give **** who wins to be honest.
Ukraine were already gifted the Eurovision, thats fair compensation

 

Newcastle are replacing you

typical

 

Yeah I don’t mind the Scotch getting through tbh

I’m one of them who enjoys all the home nations qualifying
