Financial club links.

I got a financial link now to Seattle at my world-wide Rep St Mirren club with me on top coprorate facilities, seattle with good, my question is will it really be worth the £2.31M cost per year?. I've never done this kind of link before, I've no idea what kind of a boost in merchandising sales it might provide.

The answer is: not much. Somebody, I believe it was Crouchaldinho, though I might be wrong, did an analysis, and all a commercial link does is act as a multiplier when you make a big money signing.

Well, I don't make big money signings (my record is 24 million, then 16 million, then 9 million) is this link never going to cover even the 2.31 million pounds I'm spending on it?

Probably not, but it would be worth looking for the thread on it, I'm no expert.

I think you'll have to sign a big name american to see any real benifit.

No, no, no, no, no! That's just a rumour/logical but false explanation. Honestly somebody should find that thread and link it here, it blows all of those theories about how financial affiliates work.

I think that is the thread mentioned.

Yeah that's the one. That explains financial affiliates perfectly. Nice find btw!
