where does the money go ? seriously ??????
retail in the UK = £90 , ok - got that
how much does it cost wholesale - in the UK ?? - ie what are the shops paying ????? - shops need to cover their running costs pluss make a profit - so a retail mark up is expected
but not all retail mark-ups are created equal
the " factory price " is £1~15 quid - heaviliy dependant on the ethics of the deal and labour source
is there a " tarrif " owed to the FA for use of logos / endorsement
is a percentage paid to a grass roots football charity to develop English football ?
just my guestimate - but £30~40 quid seems to have appeared by magic - assuming that retail and wholesale markups are equitable
if this excess is being invested in grassroots football - then maybe its ok - but where is it actually going ??
