Keegans Export Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 1 hour ago, Fantail Breeze said: What are the thoughts behind negotiating an early exit from the Fun88 sponsor but not until next season? Allowing more time for an alternative? Not being able to agree an exit earlier due to contractual shite? Sure there is logic behind it but assumed they’d have been gone this season with a Saudi-based one revealed. Might not be more time as such, just in the hope that we'll be negotiating a new sponsorship deal next summer as a top 7/8 club rather than this summer as a team that eventually finished 11th after battling against relegation for much of the season.

Btw, can this shirt be sold in Saudi with the current betting sponsorship, or is it not that strict? Sponsorless shirts would be fantastic - not sure if they will or not though. It makes very little difference commercially if they can sell them in KSA or not. The club will get somewhere between 5-10% of any shirt sale - KSA has a population of only c.20m. If the club sold 20,000 shirts - 0.1% of the population - which would be an incredible number, from which they'd make about two grand. With kit deals, most of the money the club receives is upfront, not back-end. I've seen logical arguments that clubs would actually be much, much better off in the long run if they just made their own kits and flogged them.

Joey47 Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) Slightly disappointed to still have Fun88 for next year. I've seen that an early exit of the Fun88 deal has been negotiated, so this is the last season we will have it. A positive spin is that if we have a really good season and maybe even get Europe, that would significantly boost the fair value of our next sponsor compared to what the fair value would be currently.

Either way, the assumption that there's loads of money flogging kits in KSA is flawed Not disagreeing, but on the other hand, the kit manufacturers make a great deal more than that. We may be locked in to Castore, so for this year it may be moot. However, opening up a whole new market for them to sell into would greatly increase the value of the rights to them, presumably allowing you to renegotiate / negotiate a more valuable rights deal with them, ultimately bringing more money back into the club. As well as also allowing you to justify higher sponsorships elsewhere, as you can demonstrate you have a new market to tap into. Fun88 may not have been top of the priorities this year, but I'm glad they've ended the deal early to give them more room for manoeuvre in the future. Besides, I'm going to buy that third kit. The Saudi colours with a gambling logo on sounds like a collector's item to me Edited June 9, 2022 by Abacus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
