Tom 14013 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Man City get their £400M whilst we get no capital outlay. I think Man City's might just be a little bit dodgy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 43115 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 (edited) You used to able to see it through the gate but they hung a massive rubber curtain from it a couple of years ago. I'm looking at that sentence, seeing Fist lurking and waiting for the payoff. Edit; go on- google " rub her curtains".

peasepud 59 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Don't want to jump in as this may just be rumour but if true it's just another (to be forgotten in a few months by most) shit move by the men in charge. Arsenal got £100M from Emirates a few years ago, Man City get their £400M whilst we get no capital outlay. Free advertising till someone buys the naming rights to our stadium. They wanted £20M a season if I remember correctly? Are we getting £20M in the meantime? Long term NUFC could be a nice little earner Mike Trotter and Rodney Llambias. there never was any intent to sell the naming rights. It was simply a cover to gain the free space for SD.

But still, if the Emirates was worth £100M then surely we should be good for at least £50M? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think it was put out there for any bites however unlikely this was. A win/win for sportsdirect and our owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still, if the Emirates was worth £100M then surely we should be good for at least £50M? The Man City deal is £400m over 10 years for stadium and shirt. £40m a season innit? Man U got £20m a season for shirt sponsorship alone in 2009, so although a huge amount for a club that just won it's first trophy in donkeys, it looks to be about the going rate for a 'top club'. Didn't realise "Etihad’s literal meaning in Arabic is ‘united’" though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveTheBobby 1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 This was from a mate who's NU daft and works in commercial signage, do stuff nationally and gets to know which companies are doing what etc. It's a Leeds based signage contractor that catfunt uses . Wouldnt need a planning application as far as i know either (as unseen by public as it were) , unlike his external plethora he got permission for other year . May or may not happen of course, but i'm not coming from a 'wum' angle put it that way . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 They've got no class whatsoever What are they gaining anyway from putting another logo there, it's infuriating and embarassing that they've got no principles about it.

Happy Face 29 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Have the accounts showed any income from Sports Direct for sponsorship? I think that's the worry about it being pasted on the shirts too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31225 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I think Sport Direct's accounts may have to show transactions with related parties, though I'm not sure if the club counts as a related party for consolidation purposes in this case.

Christmas Tree 4851 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Surely it would be in Mike Ashleys interest to pay NUFC (himself) sponsorship money from Sports Direct (plc). I cant see why NUFC MA would give it free to SD MA. Doesnt make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how the whole group/MASH thing is structured and whether the club's losses can be transferred to Ashley's other companies.

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Does anyone know if all this advertising of Sports Direct is on a lengthy contract, so say if he does sell-up we might still have to advertise his god-forsaken brand?

I cant see why NUFC MA would give it free to SD MA. Doesnt make sense? Surely it's effectively 'free' either way though. The point being he is the CEO of SD and will be paid a wage and bonus based on performance. It is a plc with shareholders. NUFC however is 100% his and therefore in theory, any profit after tax can go straight into his bank account. No one at SD could argue that there is no value is the advertising they are getting so it would seem sensible for him to set up a payment from SD to NUFC. It is so much in his interest to do it, I can't see any reason / benefit why he wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the point is why dig into his personal fortune to put the odd £20 million into NUFC when he could charge SD £20 million instead and not really effect his salary there or the share price etc. Maybe there is a reason, Im just not sure what it is.

U_V 0 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 From the 2009 accounts: During the current and prior year, advertising and promotional services were provided to companies associated with Mr MJW Ashley, the ultimate shareholder of the company's parent company, St James' Holdings limited. No consideration was paid or payable for these services and the cost associated with the services in the prior year was £42,250. The club received no money from SD in 2008 & 2009, in fact we paid the costs for the privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
