ManU have a sleeve sponsorship with Tinder!!!!
Now that is what i call spectrum wide sponsorship. We should make a play for Pornhub to sponsor our shorts. Too bad Giroud has left, he would have been the perfect advert model. Now we are left with Bellerin.
Chelsea's is the same but is up for renegotiation in 2020 where they will most likely eclipse ours, Man City is up in 2019, Liverpools too is up in 2019 so these we negotiated a while back and will go up significantly when they come up again, especially given the teams fortunes.
New deals usually exclipse other rivals to be honest, ours is nothing amazing given the money in football today and the fact we're the 1st to renegotiate.
Some of those clubs also have sleeve sponsors as mentioned above.
Considering where we are as a club, it's not a bad deal. Could we have gotten more if we were actually playing better....I think so. But it's not a bad a deal and until we see what other clubs are offered, I can't say we've been blown out of the water. We're looking for a sleeve sponsor for next year.
It does bring into question the timing. If they were confident we would get back into the CL via the Europa perhaps they might have held off negotiating till later this season, though perhaps it simply had to be done when it was.
25.8 Billion USDs in 2011-2012. I presume that has increased since...but the Emirates Group certainly aren't short of money.
That says City, United, Spurs and Chelsea's deals are better than our old deal of 30 million a year but yes our new deal surpasses all but Man Utd's.
Though I think if any of the bigger clubs were to renegotiate, they would all get 40mill if not more.
I think the deal is probably about par with what it should be. Nothing extraordinarily good or bad all circumstances considered.
I know. I posted it to reference what our rivals are on now compared to our new deal. It's an old article that doesn't include the new deal we just signed.
On the new deal, it's not a bad deal at all. I'm sure by the time some of our rivals are ready to sign new deals in a couple of years or so, they will get better deals but it's not as if we're getting dwarfed by the numbers.
If you're arguing we're somehow always worst off than our rivals, doesn't that just play into this idea that we can't afford to spend money like some of our rivals? I don't believe that. The numbers say otherwise and if the fans keep perpetuating this idea it makes it easier for them to continue playing the poor pauper card.
Agree with Zim.
I'm not overly impressed with the deal. £200m over 5 seasons isn't impressive especially when our rivals will be renegotiating deals in the next 2-3 years and overtaking us. On top of that we've managed to sign a deal where we can't have separate sponsors for our training kits, which in the grand scheme of things, is woeful.
