So United sign a kit deal that is worth more than 2.5 times our deal with Puma. Just as well ours is for only 5 years.

We need some real silverware in these next five years to get close to any sort of a deal like that. Here's hoping

Got to me a little bit when I read that. It's kinda like I thought things were going for us because of the deal. Then we end up in the same position as before; with rival teams having better deals than us.

On top of that, Manchester United have signed a deal with Chevrolet for approx £50m a year shirt sponsorship. We're on £30m for shirt and stadium combined! And only signed the deal recently I think?

I wouldn't worry about it to be honest. Manchester United are a big global brand; it’s going to happen. The thing that makes me smile is how much of this money is going to be creamed off by the Glazers?

I really wouldn't worry about it, they are one of the big four with Madrid, Barca and Bayern who earn a fortune through their own means.

We were able to compete before and will be able to again, Atletico showed that mounds of money isn't everything and we earn way more than they do.

We'll be fine. Honest :-)

I voiced my displeasure with the Emirates deal when it was signed Chimney and didn't get a warm response.

I hope your'e right Jenny but the expenditure in the game is growing exponentially

Today the financial difference might mean the difference between a Champion and contender that same margin of difference in 10 years time could be between that of Champion and mid table side.

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much, they are in debt to the tune of 500mill.

I did think it seemed a bit low when I looked a while back. I didn't bother looking too much in to it though. But now I have, I have to agree with you sheeny. Could be better. Hopefully it's not a long deal. Tbh, I'd prefer to have a high paying shirt sponsor and name the stadium properly. I've never liked sponsored names for stadiums, and I doubt I ever will. Maybe if they offer us £40m a year purely for the naming rights I'll change my mind.

Wrong there again Jensen my old mukka, infact were not prob not much more in debt. than yourselves now. And its certainly manageable. The galzers by luck imo have managed to pull a masterstroke in getting the club, I hate the way it happened but if we have the window were being told to expect knowone will be moaning.

I don't like commercial names either but it's been done and Emirates at least sounds good. Unlike a load of American stadiums but I think for name rights the second time round we should have been pushing for 60/70m a season. United would prob get 120m a season to rename old Trafford
