I'm a bit behind the curve on this one but I noticed a UEFA report issued about a mont ago on merchandising which lists the top earning uefa clubs in terms of merchandising and was a bit disappointed to learn that we were not on that list whereas the likes of Chelsea (8th), Leeds (16th) and the Bheasts (17th) were.
Now I know that theres been a lot discussed in the past about the Castore deal but surely we must be looking to break into that top 20 (or even the top 10 if a club like Chelsea can get in there) with our next shirt manufacturer deal once the Castore one runs out at the end of next season.
I tried to find an expanded lust to see where we were currently sitting but to no avail.although I did find the below article from a year or two ago that was very positive that demonstrated that we were neck and neck with the Bheasts on merchandising revenue and would, in fact, be ahead were it not for how they show the revenue in their accounts.
I'm not sure of the timescales in terms of when shirt suppliers start to get considered as existing deals come to an end but surely someone at Ibrox must have a firm view of who we may be going with next?
