You heard of something called a law binding agreement? That's what happens on multi million deals.

 

:facepalm:

 

Have you heard yourself man? All of you. Mike Ashley the man obsessed with money goes out of his way to accept a lower offer to what, piss off the fans and drag the name of the club through the mud because its good advertising  :lol:

 

Any more conspiracies you got while we are at it? Mike Ashley behind 9/11 so he could sell more secure luggage? He invented Bird Flu so he could sell trainers to run away from swans?

 

It's funny you should mention swans, Ashley feeds beefburgers to swans.

It was Ashley who put the horses in the burgers which went in the swans.

Ill believe everywhere else and be in the comfort that if you don't agree then I'm on the right track.

It's thought the contract is worth around £8 million a year - more than any previous sponsorship deal.

 

Still lower though, innit.

 

You miss the part where it said more than any previous deal?

 

Yes. :lol:

Also to point out northern rock deal was £10m over 4 years, so why virgin would start paying us 4 times that amount while still in the deal I don't know.

 

From 2010

So basically both figures are wrong. Wonga isn't 6 it's 8 and virgin didnt pay us 10 a year either.

That deal was only 2 years, NR activated an early termination clause.

Virgin bought NR that's why the changeover happened. Read the article, 4 years at £2.5m a year. Virgin wouldn't jump from 2.5 to 10. No actual figures on the virgin deal came out.

 

Llambias said at the time (wonga deal) he went for the most money possible in terms of sponsor adding its one more player on the pitch.

 

Everything apart from Luke Edwards once saying the virgin deal could be worth up to (as vague as you are going to get) £20m, points to the wonga deal being our most lucrative in our history.

I'd also like to point out the other inaccuracies in the original source.

 

Arsenal's £30m includes its stadium sponsor, which is fair enough (although its an article about shirts) but they don't do the same for citeh if so that would be £40m as it was a 10 year deal for £400m.

 

Again at Arsenal their 02 deal back in 2002 was for £6m a year, so again when they signed the original deal with Fly Em for stadium and shirt i very much doubt at the height of their powers they'd sign a £5.5m, less than the original, or be on that amount all the way to 2012. So they include it for 2013, but not previously, strange.

 

That's not even getting in to the mackems invest in africa deal, and the replacement company...bet you that isn't anywhere near as straightforward as a clear £15m loss.

End of the day all this needed was a little bit of common sense to realise no one in their right mind would willingly accept a £4m cut in income, certainly not someone obsessed with making money. The club ended the deal, had virgin ended it or it ran its course then this would all be very different. However you don't cut your deal short to accept less money, it would be the first time in football someone has done that (not including any charity deals) that's exactly the opposite of what football has become and certainly the opposite of anything Ashley has ever done.

 

Btw I believe the virgin deal was £5m a year, for two years equalling £10m something the bbc reported at the end of the contract.

 

 

Imagine Llambias coming in and breaking that one to Ashley, oh I've got a new sponsor for us, 4 years at less money and its a bit controversial so will cost us a bit in shirt sales. how's that sound boss? Did I do well?

 

 

Nope, not going to happen. Moving on.

Honestly can't see Ashley accepting a smaller sponsorship deal. He's all about money and getting value and giving up a £10m per year deal to sign a £6m a year deal is just barmy. We all know he's a cunt but where a financial deal is there to be made then he's right on the button.

Best of all worlds for Fat Cash. More money for him, the chance to treat a respected company like they mean nothing to him and a chance annoy the fans all in one move. His cock will have been sore for days.
