If Man U are not getting televised on a Tuesday or Wednesday night, but rather their players are at home watching Newcastle play Barcelona on the telly, you can safely assume that will make their existing sponsors ask questions at renewal time, and potential sponsors consider the value of associating with them. Reversely the same would be true for Newcastle.

 

As for patterns, qualifying for CL 2 years out of 3 would be a pretty strong signal. If nothing else how would the PL stop say Saudi Airlines from offering similar to Emirates for our shirt sponsorship if we are performing ar a similar level and getting as much exposure as say Arsenal.

 

You seem to think these things are cast in stone. They’re not, far from it. We manage to get CL qualification we become a more appealing proposition for players, sponsors and fans abroad. It’s not rocket science.

The emirates level deal we could arguably do now. That deal was done almost 20 years ago.the stadium.

 

Man U is a bad team example. The brand is too strong. They are the LA Lakers of the PL. they’ve been poor for the last 2 years and have achieved more than us.
