So this new kit deal then

[bonusroller]

What's with the Adddidas spelling folks. It's just Adidas. Too many people buying knock off kits with dodgy spelling

£70m is great. £10m a year more than expected. The debt is really starting to look trivial, which is amazing. I just hope that this rumored Woody mentality of needing to buy big names to get big sponsors is true and that we can reinvest as well as our global rivals.

This reminds me of being at school in the early 90s and the debate whether jackets that said NAFF or NAFF NAFF were genuine.

Guys, this is really huge news. Like, HUGE news

We can spend on players and still abide with FFP. Liverpool/City/Chelsea will be proper pissed off!

According to the scousers, we're yesterday's team and on a downward spiral...

Incredible deal and kudos to Woody and co for getting this done, especially after losing the leverage after Nike pulled out.

I just hope they invest heavily in the squad this summer.

 

[Shark]

The difference between this summer and last summer is staggering. The good news just keeps on rolling on, long may it continue!

 

[Rado_N]

Jesus, £70m a year, that's absolutely nuts.

 

[Raw]

£70m a year, that's got to be bullshit

Absolutely insane money.

 

[ha_rooney]

Fantastic business. The sponsorship deals from Chevrolet & Adidas alone are ridiculous numbers!!

 

[Ish]

Should have announced it AFTER we sign king Arturo. Now Juve upping the price

If a deal is agreed they can't up the price.

 

[Ish]

If a deal is agreed they can't up the price.

Was joking a wee bit. Doubt anythings been agreed.

Just read a tweet saying we offered €44m but Juve want €50m.

 

[Raw]

So just from a kit, we get £123m a season (Chevrolet: £53m, Adidas: £70m).

Absolutely mental.

 

[Plugsy]

They should have a live video link to Joel Glazer in a bath full of dollars, smoking a massive cigar saying "I just want to say Go Manchesters!!!"

Absolutely mental.

Plus 20 million from AON for the naming rights for our training ground.

Don't DHL sponsor our training kits for £10m a season too?

Then there's at least £30m a year from all those sponsors.

Ducker was spot on, fair play

 

[Wayne's World]

750 million?? Wow

 

[KM]

It's actually £75m per season. Jesus.

 

[Skywarden]

Eddie you stud. Fecking hell!

 

[Member 39557]

Our marketing department could sell kites to agoraphobics.

 

[Brightonian]

Christ on a bike.

 

[SonnyTheHaloPro]

Once again we are the richest club in the world in terms of revenues! Legooo Woody!

 

[NoLogo]

That's a pretty amazing deal honestly. Well done.

Way to lowercase Adidas in the official statement

Decent but brief article on it from the Beeb, includes a breakdown of the finances.

Actually, it's adidas.

 

[Mister_Stubbs]

Just give Ed a knighthood and be done with it

 

[dwd]

Brilliant news. Keep it up Woody!

It's written adidas, not Adidas.

Well it's £53m + £75m plus if we count the training kit we replaced the £10m a year deal for that for the £15m a year deal for that + Carrington naming rights so if we take that deal as still being £10m for the training gear it's £138m a year in kit deals.

Is it? Ha, never knew that.

Bring on the retro kits wanna repurchase some of my old favourites.

They lowercase it themselves.

I don't want us to become a team-buying club like Madrid, with an established world-class player bought in for every position. But this should surely mean that those important, necessary targets (Vidal, anyone?) will become much more achievable.

 

[swooshboy]

Is it? Ha, never knew that.

No idea why I'm being a stickler for them having their name spelt correctly!!

 

[Skywarden]

Nike has dropped the ball on this one, with the American market becoming more and more interested in the Premier League. Am I wrong or is City the only team from the top half who'll wear Nike shirt next (15/16) season?
