No. Never.
I don't think this club is hurting financially.

Old Trafford naming rights...
- Thread starter redNATION
- Start date
No clue, they really do need to though.
No.
Just No.
No No No No No.
Anyways, jokes asides, if the financial condition of the club was bad, nearing bankruptcy it would have been one thing.
But we are in a fairly healthy state, so this would be not only be desperate but also be not necessary and kinda greedy.

Fair enough.
Moot point either way as even the Glazers wouldn't stupid enough to go as far as selling our name for a few measly coins.
The green 'n gold scarves would be whipped out faster than it would take to write the cheque.

And also there'd be consequences that mattered too. Any sponsor would be throwing money down the drain.
The green 'n gold scarves matter. To an extent.
If we'd listened to the doom-mongers a decade ago we'd be the Stretford Buccaneers playing in blue @ The Ken**cky Fried Chicken Stadium by now, so why not ?
But seriously, no, it doesn't work with traditional stadiums anyway, new builds yes, and I hope i'm long in the ground before the club ever considers moving away from Old Trafford, and even then i'll come back and haunt whoever decides that's the way forward for United.

Just like at St James's, if we had one it'd still be Old Trafford. Everyone would still carry on calling it that.
This is a repeated comment, but if we want to be super undignified we can crowdsource a transfer kitty for Jose from our 200m fanbase (or whatever it's "supposed" to be). Or sell a United ribbon, or do a lottery. There are a million other ways to milk cash than to name Old Trafford something horrid. I'd also stay clear of having shit logos on the sleeve.
Are there any stipulations in the "companies" books that says an x amount of gross profit goes to pay for the playing staff? That would help. Then we can all applaud the next official peanut butter deal.

No.
However, for the right price, I would consider allowing Adidas to change their name to Old Trafford instead.

We could always go with little thesis @Successful wrote up, a while back, then, we could compete with City.
What if it still maintained Old Trafford in its name?
Something like the Old Trafford Pizza Hut, or Walt Disney’s Old trafford stadium of Wonder.
What about Apple Old Trafford? Style but to the point.

Unless it was an absurd amount like a billion pounds, that would enable the whole ground to be extended and upgraded, then feck no.

It would be interesting to know just how much it would be worth, especially as it would undoubtedly still be known as Old Trafford. It’s nearly 25 years since The Stretford End ceased to exist, officially becoming The West Stand, but who the hell knows it as that, it is, and always will be, The Stretford End.
