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.
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.

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+.

When no f*cker is watching Arsenal anymore as Wenger has bored them to death they'll regret this
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 club should sell stronger alcohol so when the fans are bored at half time they (I) can just get pissed up and then they'll (I'll) enjoy the game no matter what.
nor the fans.
No, but they will still go to games or am i wrong?
Yeah I probably will.
