He did, so let's see what they are and what they're worth. I imagine the Man City FMV case might be something that they're waiting on. But we've already done the biggest commercial deals we're likely to do (kit manufacturers, shirt sponsors). So unless we're talking stadium sponsorship, any further deals are unlikely to produce huge sums of money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarie4 Posted Friday at 04:25 Share Posted Friday at 04:25 (edited) I believe you may be underestimating the potential for sponsorship opportunities at our club @TheBrownBottle Manchester United, for instance, had an impressive 41 different sponsors for the 2023/24 season, including training kit sponsors, training ground sponsors, airline sponsors, and courier sponsors, to name a few. There is significant potential for growth, which is why Darren emphasized the importance of qualifying for European competitions.

Can't imagine part owners were on too much but you never know. Hope to see some incomings soon. According to Simon cunt Bird you might be right. ‘But she did not have anywhere near the cash to keep up her end of extra investment, shrinking her shareholding, that’s now been sold. She was mired in a bankruptcy case last season, and the club accounts showed substantial loans and consultancy fees being paid to her.’ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No underestimation from me - I've been scratching my head as to why it has taken so long to get so many of the obvious low-hanging sponsorship fruit through the door - training ground and kit in particular. The problem is that we're not Man Utd - not even close in terms of worldwide recognition or reach - so we won't attract the same size or number of deals, and the biggest deals are already done (kit, kit sponsors) - so what would the actual value be of all those additional sponsors you mention? 5m? 7m? 10m maybe? It isn't going to be earth-shattering. And we're not in Europe - which would of course have an impact - so you've raised an issue not a strength.

Let's see what happens with the City APT case first with regards to this. If city win you're talking about opening the entire gulf region in terms of sponsorship and at increased rates Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mondonewc Posted Friday at 07:23 Share Posted Friday at 07:23 To go off on a tangent, it's reported Pacqueta will play the full season basically before anything's done which seems insane regards his spot-fixing case for the yellow cards, it started last Summer right? So he can play two full seasons without this being dealt with, what would be the justification for it taking so long? Seems absolutely insane, and hugely incompetent from the powers that be!

Court cases can take years. Sure, but I assume the average murder case takes less than two years to deal with and I expect that's generally a lot more complicated process than this situation. Messages, emails, betting patterns etc, don't see why it would take two years to get to the truth of the matter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's not guilty and has this hanging over him for two years that's also brutal for him, seems it cost him a move to City for starters. Just don't see why it would take two years to deal with this, or the 5+ years or whatever it is to deal with City, it's a very bad look for the image of the league, and given the billions they make would think the process could and should be a lot better. For sure I'm not an expert on these matters, just doesn't look good, if Pacqueta has cheated and then freely played for two years it opens up a whole can of worms with different permutations, for example, he scores in a game that caused a team to be relegated, just seems an absolute mess.
