This!
Why do people care about stuffs like this? It's not as if holding this record (highest paid shirt sponsor) makes us significantly better than our rivals on the pitch which is why I became a supporter of this club in the first place.

While it is OK to chop off the head of a 15 years old and do a selfie
If we are going to nitpick the faults of all our sponsors, we might as well shut the club down.
Just in case people are not aware of FFP. It governs how much you can spend on wages, by combining all your revenue. Relying on TV revenue alone is not enough, you need commercial revenue, tickets, shirts etc. City cheated a bit by sponsoring their stadium right via internal group, and seem to have got away with it. Man Utd major source of revenue is commercial sponsorship, considering our ticket price is less than Arsenal or Chelsea.
I remember the Club does have 1 rule, that we didn't allow betting firm on our shirt, although we do have 1 betting house as minor co-sponsor
Travel the world more, live beyond your local news
I didn't know that. But sponsors are necessary to attract the best players. Even 'holier than thou' Barcelona realised that if yoiu have to pay Messi a million dollars/week, you have to have names plastered on their jerseys.
It all began with a new sponsor, ended up with society getting fecked.
I‘d prefer red letters on the home shirt.
Lots of money flowing into the club theorically keep the ticket prices down. Fans can continue to flock in to see us home and away.
So thats one way the extra money is good for all of us. Besides, Haier already denied the rumors. I think its a non issue now really.

Ha ha ok bud. I get all my info on china from the local news
If you don't think china are a grim country then maybe its you who should go beyond your local news.
Talk about missing the point of the post @tempoless

No more off-topic posts, this thread is for discussing the potential sponsorship deal in a footballing sense. Take your socio-political commentary to General or CE Forum, please. Thanks!Ha ha ok bud. I get all my info on china from the local news

What absolute horse shit. How is this off topic? Did redcafe get taken over my china?
don't recall the saudi take over thread being shut down for discussion this quickly...There is more than 1 thread in the united forum on the POTENTIAL saudi take over with pages of discussion around saudi arabia as a country. How is it different?
...
Let me guess: Evolution is "just a theory" and you are still undecided about the whole "earth is a sphere" thing.
Better than the Sun....
We can win the net spend trophy.You really think we can win it?!
I think that we should also be awarded the most valuable shirt sponsor trophy.
CL and EPL trophies are okay....but the 2 trophies above - that's where the real action is at
Now you really do have a problem. Reading that rubbish messes with your head.
Was googling this. Looks like we've planned to extended our sponsorship with Chevrolet for 6 more months.

Gross.
Give it to Giggsy till the end of season!
Sounds very kind but I wonder if its fueled as much by a lack of lucrative offers.
Thats exactly why. I bet they have dropped the price as well. The bloke who agreed to the deal was fired for making it.
6 months?
Shame. Was hoping for at least another 6 years.

You would expect sponsorship to drop at some stage, but it will be alleviated by partnering with more companies.
Least you can change the colour of the logo to black or white for the jerseys. Already better.
The Athletic had some extra details in their article:
"Chevrolet’s parent company General Motors has been feeling the pinch of the pandemic, so United negotiated fresh terms that will see the car maker’s logo stay on their kits until December next year. Chevrolet now has an extra six months to pay the remaining balance on the $559 million (£425 million) contract, doing so in instalments of pounds rather than dollars. The currency conversion gives United security on the payment — previously, the club were at the mercy of fluctuations in exchange rates — and ultimately means an added £11 million in revenue can be reported in the accounts."
"It is regarded as a mutually beneficial arrangement that allows United more time to find a new name to go on their players’ chests. Insiders rejected any suggestion the move reflected a difficulty in sourcing a sponsor of the same high value, insisting talks with multiple prospective partners continue. It does raise the possibility of United changing sponsors midway through next season, although this remains to be seen."
It seems like from the above post Chevrolet aren’t interested in renewing so we will actually get a new shirt sponsor! only downside is that this is the worst possible time to negotiate a sponsorship as everyone will tell us they’re struggling and broke to get the best deal... we should try for Amazon or someone who is on the up.
Que the memes for delivering shite to our TV screens on a weekly basis
They won't be as sponsoring United was part of their expansion of the Chevy brand into Europe. But if i remember correctly they shut down the Chevrolet brand in Europe shortly after the deal was signed.
do Amazon actually do sponsorships? Not seen anyone with Amazon on there shirtMakes sense, so this extension is mainly giving Woodward and his team more time to find a buyer basically
Bit unfortunate timing that we're in the market for a new shirt sponsor at the worst possible time. We should have been looking for a ridiculous record number, and hopefully we can still find some muggy company willing to do it.
I've not seen any. To be fair not sure it's needed, they seem to be known everywhere without having to fork out for it. Or maybe they're avoiding conflicts of interest since they're moving in the direction of offering prime subscribers the ability to watch PL games.

Trying to avoid similarities to when bSkyb tried to take over United possibly.
It also gives GM more time to honour the remaining payments on the contract. So mutually beneficial to both sides.

Its possible that the club go for a shorter sponsorship deal of only 1-2 years in this climate. Either in the hope that things are looking better a year or two down the line to negotiate a new multi-year mega deal. And a shorter term deal might give companies who normally couldn't afford advertising space on United's shirt an opportunity they might be willing to pay a lot for.
Should get Gamestop, only way we're winning the league is on Playstation.
Finally we can get rid of that horrid logo.
Do a Kepa on it and give it 7 years
AstraZeneca should be the next sponsor. 
I don't think Amazon would be able to sponsor a team due to Amazon Prime showing PL football, it might be seen as a conflict of interests.
