 Liverpool top Premier League in merchandising league

La Liga sides Real Madrid and Barcelona have topped Sport +Markt’s Football Merchandising Report only weeks after finishing first and second in the Deloitte Football Money League.

The Spanish giants helped the 10 top clubs make €1.2bn in turnover from retail sales of merchandising items during the 2009-10 season, with only two English sides in the top 10 - Liverpool (3rd) and Manchester United (6th).  La Liga also surpassed the Barclays Premier League in total turnover, generating €190.1 million to the Premier League’s €167.5 million.

But the Barclays Premier League had a more even distribution between its clubs whilst Barcelona and Real accounted for nearly 80% of La Liga’s total.

Merchandise such as scarves, flags and shirts were included with replica shirts making up for 57% of merchandising sales.

Top 10 retail turnover clubs

1.    Real Madrid
2.    Barcelona
3.    Liverpool
4.    Bayern Munich
5.    Olympique Marseille
6.    Manchester United
7.    AC Milan
8.    Inter Milan
9.    Olympique Lyon
10.  Fenerbahce

Just goes to show that we will have money when the  new rule comes in to play. And that is including the boycott against H & G.
Nice to see that we not only beat United, but topped the Premier League too.

That's because we're the biggest club around.

Thumb's up to Ian and his staff, well done. I know from the owner's quotes they cherish the work the marketing people do.

Surprised Norwich aint on the list.

That's fantastic considering we had a boycott on for the best part of 2010.

We are extremely well placed to take advantage of the FFR and the better we get on the pitch the more people will spend.

You're from Limerick? Close to me so!

only got this now!

Na, THE biggest. It's easy for Barca and Real to sell a shiteload of sh*t when they are playing in a league with only two teams basically.

Just in case anyone wants to read the Delloite Football Money League 2011 mentioned in the article, here it goes:

this compensates a little for the lack of attendance money we get compared to some others. delighted with this tho.

80 per cent of Spanish revenue given to two clubs. No wonder people are keen to buy Premier League teams. Not worth trying to oust the big two in Spain

Hardly surprised.

Liverpool FC is the biggest club in England and probably Asia.

just imagine the amount of revenue we"d take in if we had a bigger stadium,not a new stadiumbut a revamped stadium.an extra 20,000 seats how much would that take in.

That's because we're the biggest club around.

F**kin A !  as they say. They are the biggest club in this garlic eating villarge.

That's fantastic considering we had a boycott on for the best part of 2010.

We are extremely well placed to take advantage of the FFR and the better we get on the pitch the more people will spend.

That is an excellent point to make and makes you wonder if that boycott hadn't happened we'd have topped the League. Well we will next year for definite.

I've purchased shirts from three of those clubs in the last year.. Liverpool, Bayern, Milan

I used to buy Barcelona and Real Madrid jerseys when I was younger. Loved watching Spanish football late on the telly. Wouldn't touch them now. Have grown to dislike both clubs

Every youngster has brought a Madrid or Barcelona top in the past. Just the way football works I guess.

That article can't be right, Marseille ahead of United, no F***ing chance!

Marseille have a pretty passionate fanbase, correct?

I agree, seems weird - but could be, who knows.
