Takeover went through Temporary ban on owner-related sponsorship Associated-party rules introduced These rules have been needed for many, many years, but were only introduced as a result of the takeover. That's before we get into the murky world of "fair market value" which I'm pretty sure would be challengeable in court. The timing of it all was very transparent.

Let's not forget the PL's consideration of the elimination of parachute payments when we were in the relegation zone. I am not usually one for paranoia, but they definitely were/are out to get us. I am not happy with PIF ownership, but the PL and the other "big" clubs can go fuck themselves with a bag of dicks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 17 hours ago, timeEd32 said: It's very possible it increases each year or has escalators if we remain in the CL / Europe. I'd be kind of surprised if we signed a multi-year deal that is fixed at £25M/yr. I suppose the other thing is that Sela could always just agree to end it early and renegotiate if we start looking like a more regular top team, and our value to them goes up. E.g. agree to extend the deal for x number of years at the cost of increasing the annual sponsorship cost, something like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Memphis Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I'll be interested to see if we do announce a separate deal with another company for training kit sponsorship. We've never really separated it out before but that's becoming quite common and it would allow for another revenue stream. I did notice as others have mentioned that we seem very intentional about the phrase "front of shirt sponsor". That's never been a thing for us before. These guys are very serious about opening new revenue opportunities. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Tbf, their website is not helping with legitimacy. It’s all very vague and it’s hard to find details on things they’ve done. I’m not surprised this theory has gained traction. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BennyBlanco Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Not to sound cocky or anything but I’m absolutely loving this. Give us more of these deals if it helps further us a club. Nobody gave the shiniest of shites when Ashley was basically robbing us blind to plaster his tat everywhere but now the sword cuts the other way it’s a massive issue. Well frankly, fuck em. Our owners will be throwing all their money and know how at how to manipulate the FFP rules put in place to keep us down - and I’m absolutely all for it. We have a trillion dollar company in our corner now and if the premier league think that poor Derek and Doris in the legal department of the premier league have a chance then good luck to em.
