If LVG thinks it'll noticeably help us hit the ground running in the PL then I'm all for it. We certainly didn't at the start of this season and presumably he, at least in part, blames the pre-season tour for that.
I'd be curious to know how much this decision will cost us financially though.
Well, i guess last season outside the games in the Guinness Cup, we only played 1 game in America vs LA Galaxy in the Chevrolet Cup...i hate the names of the competitions btw!
This year, we'll be playing in the same competition and again play a max of 4 games 3 group and 1 final. When we come back to the UK i can see us adding another home pre season game on top of the 1 we played last year vs Valencia.
Basically we'd end up playing the same number of games, so can't see that we'll lose too much financially.
Only question i guess is if we'd be able to sell out stadiums in the same region 4 times in America.
Would just love to know how much we make net of costs from these trips abroad. Can't imagine it would even be a 10th of what we'll be making from Adidas per year, so maybe thats why LVG's got his way...
