Just what PSG need another big Ego. Maybe he's the ego to rule over all the other egos. I could definitely see this working over a span of 3 years if Ramos was a bit younger. Now it feels like they're constantly running on a tight schedule to success though, not much permanence to be had with a leader that's likely to retire in 2 years. Then again, who knows. They want the UCL and in knockout system there's always a chance that Ramos will score you the game winner.
Or get a stupid red card...

If not giving a knee makes us racist then we are. It's a stupid politics filled gesture we aren't suppoorting here. Our team tried that once and they didn't like the result.
Also AFAIK there's no evidence of that racism. So yes, we will support him because judging somebody based on "he said it" from a person who then isn't exactly politicaly corrrect himself is pathetic.
Also where's the apology for almost killing the goalkeeper? No dignity in that either... Oh, sorry, didn't realize that I was talking about islands where you have guys like Lineker.
So, I believe I covered it all.

Well, I just pointed out that English fans aren't exactly wellcome wholeheartly because they have certain history. And it hit the right spot, as I see.
ALso you don't realize that by the sensitive west we're here actually racists, so, uh, yeah. And we can admit it. Still wouldn't recommend the topic in here as the reaction wouldn't be exactly nice considering we really don't like when people from the west tell us what to do. So, Czechs can admit it, can English fans admit they have their bad reputation for reasons, or will they go with "we're innocent"?

Well clearly we're not going to admit being generally terrible. Maybe if we would there would be some hope for us, but alas! The English are beyond helping.
But you have to ask yourself, if we didn't know deep down how terrible we are, would we have just separated ourselves from the rest of Europe in a fit of self-conscious misdirected anger?
I actually have a soft spot for the Czechs, having just spent 60 hours playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It somehow makes me feel connected to your country that i have never been to or met anyone from.

I doubt that. Most of the gains from the shirt sales go to the manufacturer. I don't see how a club can ever earn back 500 million in 4 years from one player.

There's also the fact that an official Barça shirt with Messi on it costs € 90, whereas a knockoff costs 10 and looks almost identical. They're for sale all over Barcelona, so I'd assume they are also for sale everywhere else people are crazy for Messi football shirts. Of those € 90 I'm sure a large part goes to the club, but of the € 10, nothing does. How many of the Barça shirts you see on the streets in Argentina are official ones? And how many buy a new one every one or two years, rather than just sticking with their seasons old design which is only marginally different?

It's something like
Materials 2 €
Transport 3 €
Advertisment 2 €
Profit manufacturer 5 €
Profit club 58 €
Selling Price 70 €

Three home matches for Denmark, then Amsterdam and now heading to Baku. In every way a strange choice of host. Unless you know how corrupt UEFA is. Think that the travel arrangement. Can understand that some countries are unhappy with the schedule, also the resting days seem bit strange, Denmark played Saturday, but play tomorrow. But Spain and Switzerland played Monday but play today.

Still 7,5 - 20% and properly the higher margin for the top clubs with superstars.
Also one thing is jersey, then all the other merchandise the stars help sell. Even the money clubs get for going to warm up matches all over the world. Sponsors deal in general.

Plus the licensing fee that, say, Nike pays to the club for the rights to produce their jerseys. That fee goes up when a player like Messi is on the team.

Yeah, Baku. The arena for 70k people. Wonder how many will really come and what the atmosphere will be.
Edit> We have it roughly 3k km, Danes even more. it is unfortunate.

You don’t need to know the margins really. For Messi to be worth it financially he’d have to shift a hell of a lot of shirts, shirts that people wouldn’t otherwise be buying.
I think this was a flaw in Perez’s numbers when Real signed Beckham in the first Galactico era. Sure Beckham did boost them, but if he hadn’t of signed many would still be getting Real Madrid shirts, just with Raul or Figo or Zidane or Ronaldo on them.
I think Messi has been probably worth it for Barcelona specifically though. But that’s because he’s kept Barcelona at the top level of European football for two decades now and the Barca brand has got a big boost from being there. Also Messi having such a tie with Barcelona and them being the long-term home of Messi etc.
Basically anyone who can sign Messi is already going to likely be a top, top European side already, and will signing Messi give them all that much of a boost? Plus you don’t have Messi as a symbol of your club in quite the way Barca do.
It could still end up being worth it, but I’d say more in the field of sporting glory. If City want to push the boat out and think Messi is the missing piece to winning the Champions League, for example, then they’ll do that for that reason.
