Quite happy honestly. In a perfect world we skip the logo and go with just the name, but i’m fine either way. 55m/year is great too, would’ve thought our recent struggles would impact our commercial appeal more

This is a good deal considering its shirt only.

Means we can plaster some other company's name all over our other merchandise rather than having Chevy on everything.

Team viewer is a proper old company man. Used to use it back in the day for random stuff.

The only thing that matters is money. I wouldn't care if Horse Cock Dildos Inc. sponsored us as long as they gave us $100 million.

These shirts aren't fashionable. Don't treat them as such.

I think we will see this in all white.

The guys who hate the Gold of the Chevy logo will like that it will all be in one block colour, white or black.
This company has the money to sponsor United but couldn't be fecked to spend on a proper design company to come up with a better logo? It's basically an emoji but in blue.
Or did they spend all the marketing money on United and is left with a free emoji straight off the Net.

If I'm Mercedes I do the deal and I know that every picture of United players coming in to training are in my cars and I don't see any BMW or Audi. That is something valuable and more important, something the players and staff will accept (as compared to Chevy that was not to be seen in any pictures of the players and staff). 10+ mil per year for that? Feck yes!
I would love for us to be associated with Mercedes but we'd probably have to pay them 50 million a year instead since they are arguably a bigger brand with more recent sporting success :lol:

I dont buy kits or jerseys.. I can honestly say I don't notice the Chevy logo on the kits. I dont think I remember any shirt sponsors for any clubs.. I know what the sponsors are for some clubs.. Absolutely no clue about Milan.. or West Ham.. the two teams we played in the last week.

Years of being on the interwebs and ignoring banner ads efficiently has trained my eyes..

Its good money.. its not a company I should be hating on principle.. fine by me.

It's the biggest shirt only deal in the league :houllier:
Do we have less or more money coming in? If it ends up working out as more then great - Woodward does it again. But will we? If not, then it looks like a clear financial implication of the football. We set the standard here so what others are doing doesn’t matter.

It’s boring but does it’s job, simple and depicts something, recognisable.

Nothing special about it but it’s all about simplicity in design nowadays.

If it’s white then it will be a pretty clean look with the white Kohler on the sleeves.

I’d like a white stripe down the back like on our 2008 kit. :drool:

The funny thing about Chevy is if they’d just used this it would’ve looked pretty great, but I’m guessing the whole point of sponsoring us was getting the gold logo out there outside of the US.

Teamviewer: £235m over 5 years / £47m per year.

Chevy was £64m per season, so we're taking a £17m / yr hit to revenues. Not too bad considering the pandemic etc. We also want a separate automobile sponsor deal + training kit deal + Carrington naming rights deal apparently.

There's looking for positives in a seemingly underwhelming deal, and there's being delusional. Ignoring the fact TeamViewer gets used a lot by Internet scammers, I can't imagine IT departments around the world using it to push Man Utd propaganda down frustrated users throats.
Well I dont know how exactly TeamViewer would benefit Manchester United. But the point of the client being installed on some 2.5 billion clients worldwide means that there is potential to utilize that in some way. It's fair point that TeamViewer is used by a lot of scamfactories from India, but to be fair all screenshare type softwares are used by scammers.

Until proven otherwise I choose to believe that the club picked TeamViewer because they presented the best package.

And I'm still underwhelmed by this entire thing.

And you think we will not get that? VW, Mercedes, BMW, Audi will pay that easily. The Chevy deal was a farce in terms of car sponsorship as no Manchester United player would be seen dead in their cars; but a premium car maker would actually get exposure. The overall will be bigger then the Chevy deal.

If I'm Mercedes I do the deal and I know that every picture of United players coming in to training are in my cars and I don't see any BMW or Audi. That is something valuable and more important, something the players and staff will accept (as compared to Chevy that was not to be seen in any pictures of the players and staff). 10+ mil per year for that?

The Training Kit Deal would have to be roughly £30-40m a year to make us whole.

Chevy and Aon is somewhere in the region of £70-80m.

The huge drop is surely what we’ve been talking about for years - eventually us not being that great will have financial implications
Its less because they arent sponsoring training kit etc

Mock ups look pretty weird, but think much of that's because we're not used to it. Even the Chevy logo looks less garish now that at first imo. Actually think the Zebra kit will go down as a bit of a classic.

The Aon deal expires this year, which was roughly £15m a year for the training gear and Carrington naming rights (Aon Training Complex).

I have no idea how much such a deal would be worth today. I'd imagine we should be able to get a bumper on these £15m a year though.

How long until we sell our Stadium naming rights? How would fans feel about that?

Pretty sure it was more than 51m.
That's what Ducker is reporting, and if he's correct, then the club could potentially make even more money due to the automobile partner not going hand in hand with the official shirt sponsor like it did with the Chevy deal.

Chevy is £64m per year for kit sponsorship and car sponsorship.

Team Viewer is £47m per year for kit sponsorship.

Unless we find a car manufacturer willing to spend £17m+ per year to be our official car partner, then we're getting less money. This will presumably be the first time that we have ever replaced one of our headline sponsors with a deal of lower value.
