I wonder how much in the overall picture these types of tours are good for the super-clubs that embark on them?

On the one hand, they are obviously making quite a bit of money immediately for both themselves and the tour promoters. On the other hand, if they are tired, not fit, and don't get the 'expected' results, will their international fans think less of them and in turn, lessen the club's "aura" in future years?

Perhaps the players are getting abused by the corporate desire to expand a brand? At what cost?

On the one hand they are paid employees - So shut the fcuk up Mr. Bazillionaire.

Also - When are they to promote their 'brand' otherwise?
They want global exposure and there is no other time to do it other than an off European Cup or World Cup year.
They effectively can only do this once every two years.
And people like us in football starved nations deserve a chance to see these guys play.
I enjoyed the Man U/Celtic match and it was a bit of a treat.

On the other hand it is a bit rough and demanding on the players, and their families for that matter, when these clubs are this money hungry.

Case in point:
The SPL starts this weekend.
Fcuking joke.
It's July man, the season just ended basically.

On the fence, as usual,

We've just determined it to be a 2 to 1 vote.

Me & Myself have out voted I to determine Beckham's a whiny tit.

This vulgarism has been in widespread use since the late 1940s. The original idea evoked by the expression was that of deflating someone, recalling the description of a self-important blusterer as 'all piss and wind.'
