Yes, they share the team showers and baths

[Roboklopp]

Fair enough

[BillobShaisley]

I'd rather they invested every spare penny they had into LFC..
How will spending millions into the womens team help us win the Premiership?

I don't think £10m a year is needed, but the 'family club' that is such a 'part of the community' could reap a lot of benefit from being an active supporter. It does open the door to a large chunk of extra fans which is good for merchandise, but more importantly commercial sponsorship and endorsements if we can show a large female following too.

Wimmin's tennis is better than the blokes to be fair.

No white text?

If Japan win the Women World Cup then the market could explode over there. £10m may be well over the top but if we sign up a couple of the best Japanese players and a couple of Chinese ones then we would most probably make a profit in the long term.

Profit from where? The women's game doesnt pay out anything like the men's game does, in terms of tv revenues, prize money, gate receipts etc.

I prefer this one myself its more apt in this case



But I agree with your general sentiments

Arn seriously mate, you're living in la la land and I would like to add that that is not a good land to live on.

Seriously, read Craig's post several times. There is no revenue whatsoever in the womens game. And signing players from the far East would not cause any mass hysteria in that region - how are the fans in the far east or even in this country going to get to see them play?

To sink £10m is crazy. Football teams don't make that much PROFIT at all and that is probably 15% of our profit a year!

What I mean is that we would sell a lot more shirts to female fans. Say that we would sell a million more shirts in Japan and China combined.

Women football is much bigger in Japan and China than in England. It is not a big sport but it is still much bigger than in England.

It is not about TV revenues, prize money or gate receipts. It is about selling shirts and merchandise.

15% of our profit?

I think it would be more like 30% (at best)
