Boldly pushing the frontiers of what football clubs can sell, Manchester United and DHL have agreed to a lucrative first ever training kit sponsorship. Because sponsored shower towels just seemed a little too ridiculous.

From the Guardian:



At £10 million a year, that means Man United's training kits are now making more money than Arsenal's actual match kits, which Emirates locked in
at £5 million per year over eight years starting in 2006. To be fair, the Guardian does point out that Man United's training kit deal is bigger than all
but five main shirt sponsorship deals in the Premier League.

Next up: Tens of millions of pounds for sponsored team chef aprons.

nex time MU cn taunt arsenal by wearing their training kits to play arsenal.......

and get sue by Aon for breaking their contract?

Why single out Arsenal?

bcos its one of the big 4 teams .......the other 2 teams hav higher shirt deals than man utd training shirt i guess......

or manutd fans all wear training jersey to emirates stadium..........

it was just a joke to emphasize how lame arsenal's face value is.

which is true.. 10mil for training outfit vs 5mil for match outfit?

Arselame

who wants to watch kids train anyway


oops

Just to show that Arsenal aint desperate for lots of cash...

the deal is including the naming right of the stadium which is £100 million for 15 years, the kit sponsor deal is for 8 years

they can renegotiate for more cash after the deal end and have the money to expand the stadium.

Butthurt spotted
Wake up and realise that arsenal are not that popular and not many company want to sponsor them with big money.

the man city deal with Etihad is the biggest £350m for 10 years.

In Arsene We FRUST

the deal signed one 2004 is massive at the time but now it look so small compare with other.

I'm not saying Arsenal is as popular or strong like Man Utd. With all the trouble Arsenal are having recently, Arsenal is not a good commercial prospect. Tho owners of Arsenal are not in deep shite..I mean deep debt. So Arsenal not that desperate for mucho money...

where got 350mil for 10 years? i see 20mil a year.. for 10 years that is 200mil

stadium naming right is include in that deal.

regardless of how deep a sh|t ure in, u cant refuse a better offer for the shirt sponsorship. put that deep sh|t matter aside, Man Utd is a better revenue generating company than Arselame.

Man Utd is superior!

thats why in EPL, got stadiums named The Reebok, The Emirates, Ettihad..money man. They follow American model. Old Trafford might be renamed in the future as The Kotex...

150mil for 10 years just for the name.. ... woah them arabs

Arsenal always make money, if the stadium expansion plan go through, they will make every more money every years. a solid business.

reagardless of the name, Man utd will still get more money than Arselame for the stadium naming right. better image, not like a throphyless-for-7-seasons club.

or liverpool new stadium will have one side name the standard and other is the chartered

Everything also like to compare with Arsenal

I think without Arsenal u guys will be bored to death

Kesian

if i am rich and looking to buy a club, i will buy arsenal. last decade only spend 48 mil and still the top 4 club.

yeah man I totally agree with you. Nothing to laugh at if there was EPL without Arsenal.

its a shame dat arsenal oni got 5.5 million a year for shirt deal, they r one of the big 4, liverpool hav almost 4 times more than arsenal............n 100 million for 15 years for emirates stadium?? wtf! its one of the newest n most advanced stadium in britain n oso hav the most xpensive ticket price...........

arsenal executives never seen millions b4 ka?? like dat punya deal oso wan take..........wif arsenal curent status, they deserve much more, if liverpool cn get 20 million, why arsenal cnt?? n emirates realy kiamsap to offer such deal, i tot the owner of emirates is the ruler of UAE......hw cn they offer such deal

Ok...see u guys this weekend at The Kotex..

the sponsorship deals table is old
aston villa's sponsor is genting not fxpro

Arsenal fans must realise that Arsenal is not as world-wide supported like Man Utd, Liverpool, Real Madrid or Barcelona. So iit is quite difficult for Arsenal to attract better financial deals and better players.

the reason gunners did not offer nasri new contract because they cant give the salary expected by nasri because they got no money..so you wanna say that arsenal did not desperate for money. If they got money for sure wenger will tied up nasri contract.

that deal sign in 2004, no one is getting 20 mil kit deal back them.

Arsenal was never a big club at least before Wenger took over.

Unlike other clubs who has won many major trophies, Arsenal only came alive around 1999.

And then spending on a whole new stadium while maintaining top 4 and relying on youth player.

But of course money does buy trophy from the chart.

Except for Tottenham of course

so totenham(10 mil sponsor) hav more supporters than arsenal worldwide?? or aston villa(5 mil) n fulham(4 mil) is as famous worldwide as arsenal???

eye problem?

Nah, Arsenal got the money. But it seems that board is more interested in paying up the loans for The Emirates and making Arsenal debt-free by 2012

then arsenal shuld renegotiate the sponsorship deal nw............5.5 mil for arsenal is ridiculous........even totenham get twice more than arsenal

eleh sponsor mahal2 pun main macam taik jugak

they are negotiating for extension of the deal after 2014, arsenal like long term deal for financial stability. the deal will likely be much much bigger, since Emirates themself admit their deal with arsenal now are worth more than the money they are paying.

does sponsorship with emirates gonna end after 2014..still got 3 and a half year more.

Arsenal's current main shirt deal has an 8-year contract. Damn long. So I guess it's normal that it's not as high as the other bigger clubs.

When the contract ends, I'm sure they'll get very good offers.

always changing kit sponsor can be good for business. fans will buy the new kit will new design and profit!!!!

arsenal is doom.. look at attendance in emirates last saturdays....

60090 is bad?

Well, Manchester United went 26 years without winning the league, Liverpool have now gone 21 years without the title and Manchester City went 35 years without winning a trophy. Tottenham have gone 50 years without winning the league.

-from man utd star ,

Whose fuking care about this? We watch football because its football,not because some business shyte. We watch football to enjoy,and watching Assnel play is not enjoyable.

Why need more money? last2 all your star player goes to barcelona or Real Madrid

this is arsenal's last season in the premier league. truth.
