Pretty sure it can be just has to be judged at fair value. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 (edited) We can have aramco or Saudi golf, it would just be subject to fair market value due to being affiliated. What I’m unsure of is if an unaffiliated sponsor comes in are they subject to same scrutiny ? Edited June 1, 2022 by Whitley mag Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's an affiliated company the Premier League will refer it to an independent panel who will judge if its deemed to be fair market value, or inflated. I would also mention, this is legally far too vague and will likely crumble at the first hint of a legal challenge. Whether that comes from us, or some other team down the line.

The Prophet Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 2 minutes ago, r0cafella said: Are you sure? Pretty sure it can be just has to be judged at fair value. Yeah this is correct. Aramco and Saudia are both linked to the Saudi government, so would require sign off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they’re not linked to PIF, but you can be assured they’d also be treat as affiliated I would imagine.

GeordieDazzler Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 City is an affiliated partner to nearly every hotel in Dubai at this point. Sure there was an Athletic article a few weeks back about how they made a few phone calls and did minimal research to find that half of the city ‘partners’ didn’t even have offices. Or staff. Or actually do anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't let others have these huge sponsorship deals, then change the rules so others can't and then say, "they signed those deals before we changed the rules" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's becoming more and more clear that football supporters are turning into football consumers. You'd expect the ones doing the selling to treat us that way, what I didn't expect is just how much supporters would start demanding to be treated that way.
