Arsenal to make "Significant" announcement at Noon today...

[LDG]

http://arseblog.com/

Seems as though we are set to make a major announcement today, perhaps kit / sponsorship deal.

I see this as one of our major handicaps when it comes to competing with the big boys, increasing our spending power, and paying larger wages (look at little Theo's eyes light up).

It could of course be another "Citroen" deal, but as they have a pressssy, it sounds a bit larger than that.

I always wondered, why, with all that cash on the table for furture sponsorship, why we weren't more ruthless with Nike and Emirates. I.e. "You know the size of deal we'll be getting in 2014, lets renegotiate now, and bring us back into line, or you can wave goodbye in a few years...."

Meh.

[Joker]

Even if the new commercial deals do increase the amount of money available for transfers, would Wenger spend it?

Of course not :lol:

What it might do is level the playing field on wages slightly? Be easier for us to pay the board, the manager and players more money.

Of course, ticket prices will still increase too, so not all is lost :scarf:

[Injury Time]

Maybe Theo has signed his deal.

For who?
Gazidarse "We have negotiated hard and maximised our return on investment and have sold Theo for a pie for Arshi and a bag of skips. Naturally he [Theo] has left for footballistic reasons and joined Man Utd, as they are not in the race for fourth we don't see this as selling to what you fans may see as a rival. Arshi has reported back the pie was okay but had better and the crisps are past their sell by date but that is not a reflection on my negotiating skills or attention to detail. There will be no time for questions."

Of course not :lol:

If it does make it easier for us to pay our best players more money that would beneficial, and it would help us compete with other clubs in the transfer market.

Ticket prices will still increase though you're right, the owners know demand is still high and they can afford to increase prices without taking a hit on revenues.

[Globalgunner]

As reward for negotiating this significant kit deal . The Club are happy to announce a bump up of CEO Gazidis wages to 5m basic and a loyalty payment to Manager Arsene Wenger of 8m All academy kids will now be on 2kpw and reserves on 5kpw. End quote

[LDG]

"To celebrate our new Kit deal, fans can now take advantage of a new offer, of pre-ordering whatever tat Puma come up with in two seasons, at an inflationary adjusted cut price of £75.00. You will also get a souvenir Cannon Dangley Earing when you order two kits for £152.00"

[Marc Overmars]

Maybe Adidas will become our new kit manufacturer as has been rumoured this season?

Hope so.

We're signing Becks :pray:

Wenger has signed a new contract keeping him here until 2020?

That is a good sponsorship deal, tbf.

Think of the amount of David Beckham kits we would sell.

We would have to change our colours to pink, and all players should have a mostache, but what the fuck. We're making MONEY!!! :woohoo:

[IBK]

The worrying thing is that without player sales our supposedly fantastically run club would be making a loss. All I care about is whether any new sponsorship deal will mean that we don't have to flog the crown jewels every season. BTW do other clubs have press releases to announce commercial matters rather than football ones?

Maybe Wenger confirming we're a successful club again:


"It is important as well to show that we can do it, with the way we do it, that is with the club in a good financial situation and with the players coming from our youth development," Wenger continued.

"I think there are many different ways to be successful and I am glad our way is one of them."

I used to feel happy that our club was being run in a commercially responsible manner. But its difficult to escape the conclusion that this is now the overwhelming priority, and that football is an increasingly distant second. It is a bit sad, in a way, that we are having a press conference to announce a commercial deal, as it a) underlines the first priority, and b) suggests that the club thinks that fans care.

i actually think the fans do care about this, to an extent that a press conference is needed. we have heard for years now about ffp, how these 2014 deals will take us back to the top, so the fans are interested to hear what these deals are because we have been told they are the ones to help win stuff again and pay the players what we want so there is fan interest.

however the press conference could also be asked for by the sponsor because they want maximum publicity

Depends how you look at it I guess, I don't consider 4th place for a club like ours as "success" and I don't think we should either.

In it's simplest form however success is winning trophies.

its a five year 150million deal. so thats 30 million a year for shirt sponsorship. have to say, well done gazidas

£150 milion apparently. Loadsamoney!

Emirates and Arsenal agree new £150m deal

Emirates, one of the world’s fastest growing international airlines, and Arsenal Football Club have today announced a new £150 million deal which grants the airline a five-year extension to their shirt partnership with the Club until the end of the 2018/2019 season.

As well as being one of the biggest deals ever struck in the game, the agreement, worth £30 million a year for five years, extends and deepens one of the strongest and most recognisable partnerships in sport.

The new agreement was formally concluded today at Emirates Stadium by Arsenal chief executive, Ivan Gazidis and Emirates divisional senior vice-president, corporate communications, Boutros Boutros.

"This is an exciting day for Arsenal Football Club and all our supporters," said Ivan Gazidis. "This agreement is a testimony to Arsenal’s approach and to the capabilities we have developed in recent years as well as the strength of our partnership with Emirates.

“The original deal with Emirates was a key facilitator of our move from Highbury and this next phase of our relationship will be just as critical to keep us at the top of the game in England and Europe.

“Emirates is the perfect partner for Arsenal and we are delighted to have agreed a new partnership. Emirates is a world-class brand and by flying to more than 120 destinations across six continents has a truly global reach. This reach will play an important role in our own ambitions to further extend the depth of our following around the world. The fact this partnership will continue for many years to come underlines how much both organisations value and benefit from the relationship.”

As part of the deal Arsenal’s home will continue to be known as Emirates Stadium up to 2028.

The Emirates brand will also continue appearing on the front of Arsenal’s playing and training kits and the new agreement contains a number of marketing rights, which come into effect immediately, to ensure Emirates can engage with Arsenal fans in the UK and abroad.

"Arsenal’s strong appeal around the globe and ambitious approach to the game parallel our own approach to business, making them a valuable partner for our brand," said His Highness (HH) Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, chairman and chief executive, Emirates Airline and Group.

"We continue to see immeasurable value in our global sports sponsorships and our sponsorship with Arsenal is no different. The Club has been an important enabler of the growth of our business over the last decade and we are confident this will continue as part of our extended deal.

“This partnership remains a perfect combination of two truly global brands. Through our global network and carefully-selected sports sponsorships Emirates is able to unite and engage fans, and coupled with Arsenal’s worldwide fan following this makes for a strong match,” added HH Sheikh Ahmed.

As part of the partnership agreement the Arsenal soccer school in Dubai, which launched in 2010, will also continue. Since the school opened more than 4,000 youngsters have trained there and are often visited during the term by Arsenal’s first-team players.

Emirates first signed its sponsorship agreement with Arsenal in 2004, providing the airline with naming rights to the stadium until 2021 and a shirt sponsorship that began in the 2006/07 season.

Aside from European football club sponsorships, Emirates is also an Official Partner of the FIFA World Cup™, the Official Airline of a number of golf tournaments internationally and supports a range of high-profile horse racing, tennis, rugby, sailing and cricket events across the globe.

however the press conference could also be asked for by the sponsor because they want maximum publicity

The latter - I agree - may well be part of the sponsorship deal. The former - I don't think fans really give a monkeys whats happening in the boardroom. Its only at Arsenal where the boardroom is really in the public consciousness (unless clubs are insolvent). What fans care about is what's happening on the pitch. Its the club that is trying to brainwash us into thinking that corporate management should be something to applaud.

As for selling us the future - I would say that we have all been fed this until we are sick of it. Any antipathy to this press conference will be as a result of this - it really does seem (again) that this is the latest 'jam tomorrow' move on the club's part. We might start believing it if we stop selling our best players. Until then, the jury is definitely out.

@michael

Not as simple as that though, surely, if they've included naming rights in that figure? The headline will say it's £150m over 5 years, but it isn't, really.

Still, if it's better than the deal you currently have and with adidas possibly to come.

[Özim]

What do you reckon PHW and co will buy, a new multi million pound yacht? A luxury house abroad? Some luxury/fast cars? Maybe they'll give Wenger a 3 million pound a year rise so that his salary looks a little more reasonable.

I reckon the bulk of that 150m is on the stadium and only small portion on the shirt. Having a stadium named after their brand is more valuable to Emirates I would have thought.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Isn't that a bit crap? If they've extended the stadium naming rights as part of it?


or could be brilliant as it keeps emirates with us, and gives them a reason to stay past the five year deal. if we do well, they get advertising etc and want to stay with us, so we get a better shirt deal in five years time. however if they dont, well we have 150 million for five years and get a better deal in the next renewal with someone else

I would have assumed so too but don't know. Arsenal.com have just stuck one throwaway sentence in the middle about the stadium name. It's a pretty big thing and seems like they've got quite a mediocre deal.

It does include stadium naming rights. Its a good deal by our standards - not by those of Manure and Citeh - but then again we have won nothing for 7/8 years so we can't expect to match those rivals. We are talking 2014 though, remember...jam tomorrow.

[Niall_Quinn]

Kroenke's ROI, nothing more, nothing less. This means the club can continue to press forward on the financial front even if we don't qualify for the CL each year. The deal transforms CL participation from a necessity to a profit centre.

Zim Vows to Never play for Wenger

Zimm defiantly declared "I'll never play under Wenger" last night as rumours surfaced of a possible 20 million pound move for the talented poster.

When asked what he thought about the rumours yesterday, he declared "It's probably bullsh*t to be honest" he continued by saying "I'd never play under Wenger anyway, he's clueless, tactically inept, never changes anything and sells all his best players"

Arsenal remain hopeful a deal can be concluded, when asked Wenger commented "There's no deal in place at the moment, but we're still confident it can happen" he smiled and added "There is no news on transfers at the moment, when there is you will be the first to know"

The club were said to have been seen turning up at Zimm's house last night in an effort to agree a deal and it's rumoured Zimm told them "Go home and tell Peter Hill-Wood I don't like his sort"

[Dennis Bendtner]

Looking again on the twitter heroes' accounts, it does seem like the kit deal takes precedence and there is generally little to be gained from stadium naming. That does surprise me but it's a general trend. So accounting for that, it seems they've done well and comparisons with the idiots at Chevrolet and Man Utd, and the laughable fixed deal City have are unfair. A good deal with Nike or Adidas will probably happen too.

[Syn]

I'm sure some people will act as if we've just picked up an extra, unexpected £25m a year from nothing. Do you think we didn't know we would get this money when we were deciding to hand Van Persie to Man Utd? We were always going to get a big increase in sponsorship revenues. You're not waiting for it. For a company the size of Arsenal's, you know the money is coming. And that doesn't mean you can't spend today. And, more to the point, it doesn't mean we couldn't spend yesterday. The club would've done well to keep this under the radar and not make a big fuss about it - fans will be expecting things they won't deliver.

[LDG]

2nd highest ever legit sponsorship deal apparently.

#justsayin

[Niall_Quinn]

We've announced a front loaded sponsorship deal in the region we already expected? What's the big deal? We knew this was going to happen, that's the whole point of Kroenke being here. We've already sold the best striker in the business, everyone involved in that saga must have known the sponsorship deals were on the way - they don't get negotiated overnight unless you are man city. So this all means shit in terms of the team. We wouldn't dump RvC if we had any intention of spending big on the team. We had a chance to do that and we went the other way. To bring in a big name now would cost us more than simply paying RvC and we'd end up with less. Nothing to be excited about here, it's just the latest plank in Kroenke's investment plan.

Snap. First thing that sprung to mind. Judge them by their deeds not their words.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Does this deal include training kits? So Emirates would be the whole shebang; shirt, training and stadium.

If it does then I imagine Liverpool won't be far behind in getting them as well. :rolleyes:



I have no idea why I said 'shebang'.

Well this convinces some people that we're ready to spend big, so all is good, Wenger has seen the light, the board are ready to build a world class team for a world class stadium....looks like the 2% may be just around the corner boys!!!

Where did anyone say that. Might not be a big deal to you, but is a better deal the club has/had.

I thought the significant announcement was going to be Diaby is fit.

I suggest the below posted by someone might point to this, people don't have to literally say it to believe it:

Stop denying the obvious, why the hell would someone have posted this otherwise???

You would only post that if you believed Arsenal were going to spend significantly more than before, unless you were making a joke of it which the poster didn't.

I don't need to, I already know as does everyone else.

It was a tweet from David Ornstein quoting IG I think. Either way, it really doesn't matter - it is a key point to mention.

"The deal is all about football. It is all about giving us the resources in what we believe is a responsible and well managed way, to be able to invest in what we put onto the pitch for our fans.

"We have been able to talk to Emirates about the payment terms and bring some of them forwards, so that we will have additional money in this financial year which will be able to invest in the summer.

"Those decisions on investment are made by our manager, and he has done an outstanding job of managing the resources of the club over time, and we expect that to continue, but he will have more resources available."

[Ollie the Optimist]

jsut seen a point made by someone, that its hard to sell the stadium naming rights to anyone bar emirates because it is known as the emirates stadium and has been since the begining. would be hard to change, so it really is a 150 million shirt deal beacuse of that.

i dint like the emirates name to begin with, however after 8 years i have got used to it and cant imagine it being anything else because htats what it has always been known as

"invest in the summer"

So no business in the January window then, except the sale of Walcott. Again, predictable. I look forward to their next holding operation come May/ June. It could even be along the lines of "Stan ready to invest big bucks in Arsenal...", they haven't tried that one yet.

[milla]

@michael
Only Man U's deal with Chevrolet worth around £51m pa, which commences next season, is bigger than Arsenal's deal with Emirates.

LOL that is in USD, biggest sponsor deal is Barcelona with Qatar, nearly EUR 40 millions.

But yes, our shirt deal is still shit compare to Barcelona and ManU, the latter actually got Chevrolet to pay for paying kit and other sponsor for training kit. :coffee:

[Niall_Quinn]

I can't help getting the feeling I was being sarcastic.

[Grebbo]

I think it's a very good deal tbh. The best we could ever hope to get. Arsenal are on a serious decline and wont qualify for the Champs Lge for the next 15 years like we have for the past 15 years.

Be interesting to see what our shirt manufacturer will pay. We need to try and get close to Liverpool's deal with Warrior.

[Marc Overmars]

I don't think we can expect to get close to what Liverpool have with Warrior because the only Football kit Warrior make as far as I'm aware is Liverpool's, so there's a bit of exclusivity involved and I doubt Nike or Adidas would plough out that much just for us when they have many other clubs as well.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Yeah, with them trying to break into the football market we're somewhat of a showcase and experiment, and it's a plus that they're ultimately owned by New Balance so not totally a back street operation. Although I think they're sponsoring Sevilla as well within the next year or two. It's nice to not have a template for once though, the same as half a dozen other clubs, even if the away and third kits are an... acquired taste.

I think I'm right in saying that with our deal we as a club have total control over other merchandising, unlike with Nike and Adidas who tend to take a cut of any profits and have other restrictions such as setting up club shops abroad. But obviously it will be easier to sell more established brands, and Adidas will be desperate to have another top club seeing as Nike have Manchester sewn up for the foreseeable future.

As a comparison ours is £25m a season for 6 years, compared to the £12m we previously had. I wouldn't be surprised if you got £20m-odd+.

[Özim]

When no f*cker is watching Arsenal anymore as Wenger has bored them to death they'll regret this :lol:

[Grebbo]

I agree that we wont get what Warrior paid Liverpool but that's the kind of level we should be aiming for. Chelsea/Manure are on another level.

I think Adidas will throw us some bucks seeing as they only have Chelsea and no longer have Pool.

Roll on 2014.

the board have constantly released stories this year saying we have money, rumours of a 35/40 million war chest for january etc. however as someone pointed out today, if we have all this money in the bank, why did they make sure we get money up front from this deal for spending in the summer as they keep saying we have money.

They want the money upfront so they don't need to sell anyone to make the figures look good.

Also, what GP said.

for two years running the ceo has sat next to wenger at our agm and said we have money to spend. money in reserve for the manager.

there is no grey area anymore. we have money.

the confusion is spread into other areas of contracts, players etc now.

[Marc Overmars]

If that's the case I'd question why a man as principled as Wenger would work under such a regime, his love for the club should only go so far. If his employers have handicapped him and are lying in public about an issue which makes him look like the perpetrator, then it's shame he's allowed himself to become such a doormat.

Of course, this is not the case though because the board haven't "lied". :rolleyes:

but if he's involved, which he is, then there is no handicapping of him. he has spasticated himself and he is happy to buy from the mid-range and do it his way, in the hope he can shove it all back in our faces should it work out.

Yeah I'd say that's close to the truth, whatever the truth actually is. The only thing the board continually say in public is that Wenger has never been denied funds and a certain amount is always available to him, I don't see any reason to disbelieve that. What we have is a manager who has spoken candidly about financial doping and taken a degree of satisfaction from doing things his way.

Stingy board + principled manager = perfect match.

It's hard to believe much of what he says, he doesn't need defending, he gets a healthy slice of the pie and is more than happy where he is, if he wasn't he'd walk away and find another club. He's certainly no victim in this.

He's very frugal with money, we've seen this many times with his purchases and the kind of players he goes for, rather than bring in one or two quality players he buys 3-4 unknowns, that's what he likes to do. He's also always preaching about economics and buying players at the right price etc.

Maybe they do, but just look at the way he spends the money and his policy and comments about other clubs, it all points to a manager who doesn't believe in spending.

His hands are not tied IMO, the way the club is at the moment suits his philosophy to a t.

I don't believe in the 1st 2 years we moved in the ground we have that much money to spend. Its only in the last few years there seems to be this war chest we have that is never seen or spent. But who knows.

The old "If you've gave me 100 million to spend, I'd give it back" comment tells you all you need to know about the man, noone forced him to say that, he came out with it of his own accord and this just shows the guy doesn't want to spend money, his philosophy is based around finding unknown players and turning them into top players, he's often cited bringing in players unsettling (or "killing" as he put it) his younger players, he also talks about his youth policy as if it's been a great success....for years he's basically wanted to build a team from kids and unknows and make it succeed, that's what he wants to do and spending money doesn't fit into that policy.

I didn't say everything he says is BS, just large parts of it....the bits which aren't are those bits which expose his beliefs....those are clearly not BS, they're what he believes is right (even if they are actually wrong).
