The club makes 3m a year from people buying shirts, per the Kitbag deal.
The club makes 17m a year from tickets, from that it has to pay police costs.
Hundreds of millions is so wide of the mark its unreal, unless you meant every single club in the world, since the beginning of time.
You misunderstood. The hundreds of millions is what is spent by the end-consumer, directly or indirectly. It's not the gross amount that the club receives.
Say you spend a grand a year on tickets, shirts, TV and anything to do with EFC where a cut will go to the club. Include your spending on advertiser's products during TV broadcasts.
How many EFC fans worldwide who also spend? Some less than a grand, some more.
I stand by the statement: Fans of the major clubs, and I include Everton in that, spend hundreds of millions of pounds (gross) on following their club, either directly (club-related) or indirectly (ad-related).
This monies is filtered many ways, the club gets its cut. The more fans spend, the bigger this cut is (hence the massive TV monies lately). If fans didn't show willing to spend so much money, then there'd be far less money going around. We wouldn't be buying a Sig or Richarlison for 40m+, for starters.
So when a fan says "it's not my money" regarding transfers, that's only true if he's not contributing to the above.
