2018/19 The Everton Board Thread

Status
Not open for further replies.
Whole new board of directors is needed.
Get rid of: Kenwright, DBB and Woods. Get in proper businessmen and rebuild the club.

Of course, this should have all been done when Moshiri first came in, which is why the jury is still out on him.
We've got a proper business man now, Farhad Moshiri, and he is a full on idiot taking us backwards.
 

Oh this’ll be fun.

Our deal to this point with Fanatics has been atrocious, but there’s nothing inherently bad about Fanatics - plenty of clubs make a fortune with them, so maybe a little calm until we see whether this is a change for the better?

Sorry, I forgot this is GOT.

SACK THE BOARD! Ryzantsev out! Etc etc

Outsourcing things like this make total sense, the main problems I thought we had with this was a terrible overseas distribution and availability? Something I thought had been addressed a little.

The other major issue is of course the figures we get in relation to other clubs.

"Kit deals are not traditional sponsorship deals – they are licensing deals, which enable the kit manufacturers to use the club’s brand to sell branded apparel. Clubs will traditionally receive an annual fee – for example, Manchester United receives £75 million per year from Adidas, Chelsea receives an initial £60 million per year from Nike, and Arsenal receives £30 million per year from Puma – and then 10-15% of the revenue the kit manufacturer generates from shirt sales. "

Slightly different thing of course, but the main reason it makes sense is this :

"Why don’t football clubs simply manufacture their own shirts and keep 100% of the profits? The simple answer is because they’re football clubs, not kit manufacturers. They don’t have the global distribution networks necessary to manufacture, ship, and sell hundreds of thousands, or in some cases, millions of shirts each year. Many clubs even outsource the logistics of their online shops, which are miniscule operations compared to what is required to manufacture, distribute and market kits on a global scale."

OK I am not an economist but I know a man who is.....
Our kit manufacturer is Umbro and they seem to be doing ok. This is a distribution deal isn't it. so shouldn't part of that deal be to expand markets/market share and sell MORE kits? the previous regime strangled the distribution channels and shrank markets - famously/urban-myth is you cannot by an Everton kit in the USA.
 

"Everton will make use of Fanatics’ “vertical manufacturing model” which combines its retail technology platform with an agile supply chain and on-demand manufacturing to allow for the broadest assortment of merchandise that is responsive to the demands of supporters."

Vertical manufacturing model - yada yada yada.

How much do the club get?

Or are we all just supposed to be impressed by corporate-speak?

Never mind the cash, look at the vertical manufacturing model.

We are world leaders in the use of vertical manufacturing model - or VMM as we corporate bread heads like to call it.

I havnt a clue on the £££ involved, but a VMM is usually quite a neat arrangement.

Key word being "Usually".

Except that this is Fanatics! All it means is they own the various elements in the supply chain - which translates to CAPACITY IS CONSTRAINED BY THEAVAILABILITY OF THEIR LIMITED RESOURCES AT EVERY STEP IN THE PROCESS
