Yep that's the one
Manchester United announce TeamViewer as shirt sponsor
- Thread starter RonaldoVII

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Unfortunately from what was posted on their twitter account it is looking more likely to be a big logo with the name below.
Makes sense then that Team Viewer - one of the companies that benefitted the most from the pandemic can shell out such an amount.
With revenue around 350m sterling, committing to a single marketing spend of 50m a year is pretty ballsy however you look at it.
This is unfortunately probably the worst year to negotiate a shirt sponsorship deal. I guess five years was as short as we could get it. Would have preferred a shorter deal myself or a chance to renegotiate after things get back to normal from the pandemic.
That's a fair point. And we're surely going to be worth at least £15m per season across both the automobile and training kit sponsor so should more than make up for that drop in revenue.
Let people enjoy things.

Ooops
The premier League and English football as an entity is the major stumbling block to this sort of deal. It's in their interest to keep things vaguely competitive, and there might be pressure from above them to try to curb individual clubs power. That said, viewers have been getting fleeced for years for stupid amounts of money, and it makes no sense to me to pay for those "super Sundays" of (insert perennial mid table team) against (relegation struggler) if you're not a fan of those clubs.
That's not too bad. A £20 million a year training kit deal essentially brings us back to the £75 million a year deal that we had.
Chevy weren't our training kit sponsor though? Aon are i think?
Sure on occasion. I have no idea what their plans are, I just listed the lessened revenue as opposed to exposure on TeamViewers platforms.
Have you ever used TeamViewer?
HOW this is going to go about is a different question entirely, and might not even be a thing. Like I wrote, I find this entire thing a bit underwhelming
TeamViewer might have presented a plan to broadcast Manchester United <x> product in <y> way and given a %RevenuePotential that the clubs financial analysts said "yes" to.
Or they might have been the only sponsor available and we got what we could.
I would have loved Amazon, but alas it was not meant to be
Vomit inducing
Where is the thread with the leaked kits for next season? I’d love to see this photoshopped as a one color logo on each! Don’t care what the sponsor is but one color that blends in is a massive win!!!
Can we have Chevy back
BEAUTIFUL compared to the hideous Chev logo
Not as bad as initially thought but I doubt it'll be this small.
This will be on the shirts I think. From their press release.
Aon’s training kit + training ground deal was worth £15m per year if I recall and the figures were made public on their site.
Ah yes, you're right.
It genuinely looks like someone opened up MS Paint and ctrl + v the first google image they could find.No.12 crying because he just saw a reflection of the shirt he's wearing and how sh*t it looks.
De Gea and Henderson are getting hit with that big block logo next season
I'm not being dramatic, but those are the worst kits i've ever seen
BEAUTIFUL compared to the hideous Chevy LogoI think this will be the final outcome for sure.
They’re anything but massive in revenue terms.
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.Sure on occasion. I have no idea what their plans are, I just listed the lessened revenue as opposed to exposure on TeamViewers platforms.

Chevy weren’t our training kit sponsors. We get 22.5m per year from AON. There’s no way to spin this as an improvement on the Chevy deal! Unfortunately the timing of the pandemic has fecked us.
Relax guys, it's all part of the plan, the more horrendous our kit looks the more teams will underestimate us 
If it's in white it'll look better than Chevrolet. It's utter gash
We were already getting that on top of the Chevy deal....
Logo wise, looks way better than Chevvy. We might have got used to it by now, but that logo is a total eye sore.
Finance wise, we'll have to wait and see. Depends on a) ancillary deals we couldnt make before and b) what other teams get. It could be that United have less appeal than before and so attract smaller deals. It could be a temporary blip due to covid, in which case its bad timing on our part. Or it could be that football is starting to reach its ceiling in terms of sponsorship deals all round. We'll know in a year or two.

Since its in white it's way nicer than Chevy
Funny not revamping your MS Paint logo before spending 50 mil to advertise it per year.

"team viewer gets used by scammers"
So does Windows, would you have turned that down too?
Chevy's have probably been used by drunk drivers. Vodafone is used by all sorts of unsavoury people. Adidas probably have sweatshops.

How much are Utd being paid per season and is it enough to buy Haaland the greatest striker on the world ever ever ever. No scratch that, the universe....hmmm...not big enough...the greatest striker ever in the multiverse. That will do.
Yeah I was going to say all the training gear is sponsored by AON as that's all I buy from United, the AON logo makes it all look much better.
Monetary wise, there's no way of sugar coating it, we're going to make less each year. It'll be interesting to see how it affects our spending this summer and going forward.
In the end, aren't we all viewers of our beloved team?

£235 mil over 5 years. £47mil a season. According to The Independent newspaper. Massive drop on the £70mil we got feom Chevrolet. Similar to what Barcelona get for thier shirt sponsor. Madrid still getting £70mil a season. Think post covid world other clubs may struggle to get plus £50mil then again we havent won the league for 8 years and champions league longer than that. Madrid/Barca etc win more often.
Aon training kit deal is up for renewal/find someone new

100% it is meant to be worn by footballers. So it would be great if 45 year old men could stop walking around the town with their belly hanging out the bottom of it. Also there is no huge design and fashion following in football kits, Adidas and Nike produce a template every year and colour in the sections after for all their teams. It's not fashionable clothing and it shouldn't be worn on any but the occasions of actually playing football as an adult. 99% of football kits looks vile no matter the sponsor.
If it's just the name in white it'll be fine. But it's not going to be, is it?
At the time it wasn't bollocks.Heard it is actually from the start of next season, so what I read about another 6 months of Chevy was bollocks.
