View Full Version : Adidas Deal Off?

Not sure if it is just paper talk but apparently Adidas have pulled out of the shirt deal for next season? This money was apparently going to give us a £70m war chest! If this is true, and we fail to get fourth place, we could really be fucked! :angry:

Did a search and it looks like there never was a deal, but that Adidas aren't even interested in bidding to be kit manufacturers.

This story has been floating around the place for days now....
Still unconfirmed, but I honestly wouldn't be surprised should it turn out to be true.
Surely, they'll be considering our steadily declining global appeal due to how comically defeatist and non-competitive we've become.

Only story I could find. Thought the Addidas deal was done and dusted.
Good grief, that just leaves Reebok and Puma. :doh:
I guess our loser mentality is finally having an impact on the financial side, maybe the board and management will start taking note now.
Maybe there's a lesson to be learnt by the club here, don't expect megbabucks marketing deals if you're not delivering on the pitch and not showing any type of ambition.

This is why we need Usmanov now. He really could be our last chance at spending some big money. Our board are such a bunch of pussies! Get rid, now!
I'm sceptical about this story - but if true, it makes AFC look like fraudsters, desperately trying to play the PR game instead of the game they should be focussed on.

We? You mean the club?
They didn't announce anything. Any speculation comes from the mock-up kits that have been floating round the internet.

Liverpool got a really good deal, £25m a year ! . Spuds only get £10m from Under Armour.
Either way, any money which is from any deal, won't be spent on transfers
fucking disgraceful how the club didn't announce anything on any sort of deal and now the deal that was never made of a fuss of by anyone at the club is now off.

Pretty much.
The club is currently in a never-ending circle of self-imposed water-treading. WUMger can be infuriating. The weather may perhaps be depressing. Walcott might be shit.
But that surely shouldn't lead to people's basic logic, reasoning and all other cognitive functions to break down.
When sensible posters overreact and panic and oh noes in reflex to every little thing associated with the club, it's probably more ridiculous than petulant "my favourite is better than yours" point-scoring.

Adidas could just be pulling out because Nike matched their offer. I've seen stories that Nike can match ny bid and be chosen.

We could always just sell the shirts for profit and play skins, every penny counts. Or use crayons to scrawl Nike on Giroud's arse, we could get a fiver for that at least and who knows how much for the advertising.

According to reports, Nike aren't interested so I doubt it. Looks like they've got bigger fish to fry as well.

Just bothered reading around this. Fair call. Because it was reported with the Emirates deal I thought the news had come from the club. AFC are still c unts, though!

regarding the emirates deal. correct me if i am wrong but isnt it actually dependant on us getting CL footie next year. Sure i remember reading that its based on our participation this £150m (or whatever it was) deal. Didnt see anyhwere what it would mean if we didnt qualify but maybe theres a clause to say it drops to 25p and a packet of crisps if we only get europa. anyone have a scooby about this?

Knowing our luck, it will drop to 37.50p! But at least Diaby will be back in 2014, it will be like a new signing!

I'll be relieved and satisfied so long as we aren't sued for defaming the sponsor's brand by associating their shirts with our style of play.

That's incorrect, we wouldn't get the 25p and the packet of crisps would be spread over 10 years.

This is why you all should show greater discretion when taking what these "ITKs" say on twitter. They literally know nothing but too many football fans are thirsty for information and are gullable to anything people say like "DarrenArsenal" or "GeoffArsenal."
so then. Puma. £170mill it is.

As long as we actually end up spending this money on decent players this can only be good news. However it makes it even more essential that we finish in the top four so we can attract some quality players with our new money. We don't want to do a Liverpool and sign overpriced crap just because we can't attract top players.

Add in next years transfer profits and we'll be rich, RICH!
They'll use this as a trade off against having no champs league next year. They are hoping Puma don't cotton on to that, otherwise the deal may collapse...

Theoretically, if what the leechesboard say is true and the financial constraints are easing, most of this money or at least the excess over what we have now with Nike ought to be available for the team. It will be interesting to see what happens to this money then.

20 points off top, and a load of extra cash available. They really are running out of excuses not to invest in the team.

probably need to sell podolski in the summer, get him off the wage bill at 130k a week to play the invisible man on the pitch.
With Arshavin gone, with hopefully Chamakh, Bendtner, Denilson, Squillaci gone......will free up a tremendous amount of money
Like I said on the other thread - IMO Wenget will still be governed by (his perceived) value for money rather than getting the best player for the team - so I remain a bit skeptical.

Yep, I do too. Leopards and spots and all that. Whilst I'm not advocating Arsene spends all his money in the first shop he walks into I am hoping he's going to be a lot more proactive and aggressive in the market.
No we don't want "Messi", that's totally unrealistic, but we should now be operating in the 2nd tier market, 20million pound player type market and not routing around the "Bargain Bucket" in Ligue One.

Good point. Yes, we all know that the football market is inflated - but this is the reality if we want to compete.
Well, I'm convinced we'll be signing Jovetic, so that will smash our transfer record to bits.
That won't be the end of it, either.

with fergie gone, there will be a hangover at united next year, we can spend big because this is our best chance to really catch up to united. after 26 years it will take them a while to get used a new manager. its time to splash the cash, and who knows. maybe the good times will be back, we really have to go hard this summer though

30 mil a year for puma and 55 mil in 7 years for nike? fuck our board seriously, we could have got in 2-3 more quality players if we'd got a better deal. still a great deal though tbh.

Again - commercially rather than football-wise, AFC is a player. Hard to believe that a better financial deal could have been gotten. When you consider how long its been since we won anything, the Puma deal is pretty amazing.
