Do Premier League clubs need fans at all?

So let’s do the maths on those. The current Chelsea shirt retails online (JD Sports) at £55 for an Adult shirt and £30 for a Children’s shirt. The club will maximise the revenues sold via their official outlets, receiving only a small proportion for those sold elsewhere. But even if the average revenue from a shirt, blended across an adult and a children’s shirt, is £15 then they would have reaped £46.5 million last year.
