I'm no expert on business law but I reckon theres more to it than ensuring any business can spend what it wants. It's obviously been agreed with the unions that's why. As for your second point in every single industry, there are global individual businesses who are allowed to invest into their business as they seem fit and as a result are leaders in their individual market. It's always been that way and that won't change. Let's just see what happens Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again these are rules not laws and that's the point what's not getting through to you. This is the reason City are challenging, because they are stating the 'rules' go against what is in the 'law'. Any rule must be inline with what is in law and that's why the case went ahead Edited July 19, 2024 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely preventing us but allowing West Ham and Juve on identical terms would be the very definition of related party and throw their separation for uefa competitions in the bin?

I honestly think the reason we haven't already is because we know we'd lose. PIF didn't give a fuck about turning the golf world upside down so I don't buy the being nice to gain favour BS.

Ketsbaia Posted July 19, 2024 Share Posted July 19, 2024 Was hoping Todibo links would emerge, he just makes too much sense. Would hate if West Ham pulled it off. Obviously the Ratcliffe + Juventus factors still make it difficult. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigen Posted July 19, 2024 Share Posted July 19, 2024 Todibo is a top rcb. And he is fast, perfect to play alongside Botman. Finally you are linked with a player abroad and with the right characteristics for you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. We certainly are not Manchester United, and we may not be able to attract DHL as a sponsor. However, you are missing the point. Our ownership group has over 100 different companies in various sectors worldwide, so attracting sponsors will not be a problem. The challenge lies in the value of the deals. From a business perspective, given the current rules, it is not advisable to announce all sponsors at once, even the smaller ones. Instead, we should gradually introduce them while the team improves on the pitch, thus increasing our brand value. For example, if we secure a training kit sponsor for 7 to 10 million (half of what Manchester United receives), which is approved by the Premier League, we can then negotiate better deals with Sela and Noon. I trust that our capable management team knows what they are doing. They have already increased the club's revenues by 66% and plan to grow them further within the existing regulations. They mentioned that it was a long-term plan from the moment they entered. They are patient, and I believe we, as fans, should also exercise patience. Within the existing regulations, it may be challenging to match Manchester United's revenue in the near future. However, in my opinion, if we can reach approximately 400 million (Arsenal's revenue was 464 million in 2023), we would be in a comfortable position to compete. Based on our current trajectory, I believe this could be achievable within the next two years (2025 and 2026). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise that any sponsorship from any PIF related sector or business would likely fall foul of the new APT rules the PL are bringing in and that City have just challenged?

That is something that would have to be tested I would think and given the more onerous nature of the new APT rules that still haven’t been implemented yet.
