Ask the club how many tops they have sold overseas this year or have sent overseas this year ?
compare it to the last 2 or 3 years figures and you will have an answer !
im guessing they wont tell you , they will just give you a ball park figure of around 15k (very doubtful)
Has anybody seen a pic of a top being worn over there ?
A poster from malaysia promoting our team ?
anybody seen a video of us on malaysian tv ?
hhhmmmmmmmm ???????????????????
It will take years even then its not guaranteed

I would think its all about the "brand" and that will take many years to build up. I think then it will all be about sponsorship.

No of course not , however that was the line being sold by the club to help justify the re-brand . Pretty sure the initial question is tongue in cheek .

You would have to be very naive to think we could suddenly become huge in Malaysia! I would say vt is laying the foundations and gearing up towards playing in the premiership and then we become even more marketable in Asia! He is thinking one step and as a successful businessman he knows it aint just going to happen overnight or 1 year!!

No different to when you go to Spain and see Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Celtic's kits in the market stalls to be honest. I've never seen a Spaniard asking for Stoke's latest away kit, have you?
