Liverpool’s Performance Didn’t Warrant Price, Adidas CEO Says

Pure sour grapes from Adidas there - Warrior came in and doubled their price and they sh*t it. The shirt sales are what matters and ours are fantastic, even after the past few seasons.

Ah well. I don't wear plain Adidas gear anyway. Adidas Originals are a completely different company.

Nice one Adidas, don't think it's worth the sponsorship money? We've been their second best selling club shirt worldwide for the past 5 years (behind Real Madrid) and we are amongst the top 5 globally in terms of fan base (along with Scum, Real, Barca and possibly Flamengo).

Absolute tools.

Good move by Warrior though, as a new entrant to a new market, they had the balls to take a risk, splash out and their faith will pay off.

Since when does performance of our team make a difference to LIVERPOOL fans weather we buy the strip or not... None what so ever we buy the strips reguardless of how it looks or where Liverpool finish at the end of season..
I think it just sour grapes from Adidas ..And I think they are going to miss our sales ...
Liverpool FC has a world wide fan base this is a massive blow to Adidas

it doesn't affect the existing lfc fans but it will certainly affect attracting the younger generation who don't know our history.

kids you speak to nowdays are supporting scum and chavski more and more. we can't have a romantic view of the world with our rose tinted glasses where we only want fans with knowledge of our history. the world is changing and we have to attract new fans with our football first. we then keep the real fans by introducing them to the lfc ethos...that is passion, loyalty, humility, intelligence and a history we can be proud of.

it's naive to to just rely on our history (i'm not saying we do, because we have a growing fan base in asia and south america), but we're certainly not fulfilling our potential for as long as we're not winning trophies.

Was gonna treat myself to some Sambas forget it now

How much is his opinion worth to LFC? That's right absolutely F**k all.

Cannot believe Chelsea sell more shirts then us. Even surprised Arsenal did.

We still sell more than AC and Inter combined.
Will be interesting to see how Warrior impacts on the sales.
Well obviously we will cease to be in the Adidas/Nike reports, but how will it impact the distribution.

Always interested in the sales of other merchandise too.
Never included, but I guarantee it's massive for Liverpool. I see some outlets here are stocking the
Liverpool own range gear in stores. No Warrior gear and no other football merchandise just the LFC range.

Chelsea selling that much shows how many glory hunters there is expect a spike in man city jerseys soon.

Saying that's its probably roman buying up jerseys in bulk to help with financial fair play.

Cannot believe Chelsea sell more shirts then us. Even surprised Arsenal did.

You can't count?

Arsenal 800,000 in sales, LFC 810,000.

Which is the larger number?

Amen. Exactly my thoughts.
