http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...ted-sign-seven-year-shirt-deal-Chevrolet.html How many points will this give us? Discuss
Enough points to justify our poor league form. It'll be the only reason we're better than Fulham although we'll finish level on points.
And the Observer says 20M and apparently AON couldn't wait to get out. Funny you and the scouse having the same sponsors.
They only supply our buses. They are our 'auto-mobile partner' or some rubbish. Wouldn't expect you to know what you're talking about though, don't worry. Good deal for United by the way.
Do they pay you money as a sponsor? Do they pay ManU money as a sponsor? Then you have the same sponsor **** for brains.
No, they don't pay us. The exchange is vehicles for advertising. It's more of a mutual agreement than sponsorship. Anything else? Or is it business as usual with you?
erm Reuters are reporting it at $600 million with $100 million up front and $60/70million a year. they're the most reliable source and when you consider we get £10 million a year of dhl I doubt we would be happy with little more than double that. four times more seems closer.
Source? Haven't seen any reports in the Observer... As for us and the scousers having the same sponsor, that's hardly news. We both already share Thomas Cook (so do Chelsea) and various companies sponsor / partner more than one club (Samsung sponsor Chelsea and Swindon, Singha sponsor Utd and Chelsea and 188Bet sponsor Chelsea and Liverpool). Most companies like to spread their money around in football, to make sure that if one club has a poor season they don't lose out. I dunno, the Reuters one sounds a bit OTT. £55 million a year is a lot, even for Utd. That's probably the maximum we could get, i.e. if we won the PL, CL and FA Cup every year. More likely it has a basic of around £25 million, a few million for CL qualification, and tens of millions of success related bonuses.
swarbs that's about market rate for us. take the training kit deal into account and the figures make sense. a damn site more believable than 25million. we have the largest canvases, the biggest tv audience, the most popular European sports team in the major non European markets and get 10million for our training kits. 55million for the biggest and best exposure from any sports team is a bargain considering Sunderland just banked 20million a year from their new sponsor. effectively we are now debt free. theres a massive Nike deal coming in 2015, this Chevrolet deal and the IPO. we are talking around £1billion with those 3 deals. the glazers can pocket half and still clear the debt whilst leaving a nice bit for players before selling the club for a 2billion profit. no idea if that's what they will do mind.
Maybe. But even if it's market rate I'd be surprised if they actually paid that much. Doubling Barca's existing deal would be a huge coup, even if we do probably have double the global exposure they have. That said, the fact that Chevrolet won't announce the size of the deal, and their chief marketing man has just been sacked for negotiating the deal, implies that they have paid an embarrassingly large amount, so who knows?
I read somewhere (don't ask now, I've forgotten) that it's around £25M - basically equalling or slightly exceeding our deal. Not sure how true this is. Interestingly, the deal got Chevrolet's publicity man-guy-person fired because he forgot to tell anyone.
LA Times http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-gm-ewanick-fired-20120730,0,1002620.story Make of that what you will, there is some uncertainly in the article itself.
Probably the Daily Fail. They are reporting it as "around £25 million a year", although their approach seems to be "Well, Barca's deal is £25 million a year, so Utd's must be around the same". High quality journalism. And your SC shirt deal is £20 million per year - it's the kit deal which is £25 million.
Ah yes, thought both were £25M there, silly. Posted the link above, not sure how reliable the LA times are, but it seems to be the unconfirmed truth - although I did say it as if it was fact, which was a little poor of me! Please don't insult me by saying I read that nonsense of a newspaper!
this is a long term deal so the price probably reflects forecasted rate rises for the period. also as I mentioned, if Sunderland can get equal to our current deal then we certainly can get double and then some on top for the privilege of having your brand seen by a billion people a week for 3 hours. Reuters also mentioned how the guy was fired for forgetting to add a clause that allowed for letters to be on the shirt not just the logo. a huge fail as you will agree because the glazers will likely just sell it too someone else for another 20million a year knowing them lol.
