Quarterly Quarrel: Financial Discussion Part 4

There is a difference and it comes down to revenue. Arsenal cannot keep their big players because of their wage structure and player recruitment strategy.

However, Spurs and Arsenal, Sunderland and Aston Villa can all tell a big club to sod off if they so please because once you are secure in the prem, you have decent revenue and providing you are not run into the ground by idiot management, you can stand on your own.

I feel that the same is not true in La Liga where there are clearly 2 haves and 18 have nots. In Germany, if you play well enough, eventually you will play for Bayern. It really is as simple as that.

 

Or you could say they are a buying club.

They have loads of turnover because they have loads of turnover. They faced, as they routinely do, a veteran with an expiring contract and they moved him for money. We didn't even approach them for RvP until it became apparent that he was available. The difference between that and us declaring in the press and strong arming them, say the way we determined we were going to have Carrick is world's apart and for the most part, those occurrences are the exception in the prem as opposed to the rule in other leagues.

 

@terrychristian - Bebe - a bit of pure spin - heard that the real price United paid was 250,000 quid - yet 7m and 8m constantly mentioned #glazernomics

 

It was mentioned in our accounts clearly and the quarterly reports IIRC.

7/8 million plus Portuguese club also confirmed.

 

Nike's exclusivity period ending this month with regards to the Kit Deal, i read.

Wonder whether we'll negotiate outside now with other options ?

You'd imagine Nike would desperately want to keep us with them though.

 

After what Arsenal have secured with Puma, after no significant win for almost a decade, I expect United to make Nike to pay.

That being said, I don't want any pretty boy skin hugging kit. I'd be more than happy with Nike. They are classy enough to be worn, without having to drop 55% body weight.

 

It's very refreshing to know that all the money made by the Nike deal will be put back into the football club

 

Ahh, NM. You're back in this thread. With such positivity as well.

   It will be United's first pay-per-view "event" - and happens to be the game when Wayne Rooney is expected to return from injury

   Man Utd's final pre-season game, against AIK Fotball in Stockholm on Aug 6, to be available on any internet-enabled device for £5.95.

 

And so it begins...

 

Steep price given what's the match.

Even more so for those outside the UK.

 

Testing the market.

 

Yup that's how it starts. Greedy corporate bastards

 

maybe we suck at closing transfers but no team closes more commercial deals than united. we have regional partners for every single commodity it seems.

 

Yeah, who says we aren't signing people this summer, eh?

 

Being a football club with hundreds of millions in commercial revenue but being attrocious at transfer dealings is a bit like being a well-hung adonis with erectile dysfunction.

 

MUST succeeded at making Old Trafford an asset of community value, even though the club officially lodged a protest. A good thing, IMO.

 

It's very good news ... I can see some very pissed off people in Tampa tonight. :d

 

regional sponsorship deals ftw. transfers?! aintnobodygottimefodat!

 

GLOBAL: Campari agrees Aperol tie-up with Manchester United FC

By James Wilmore | 7 August 2013


Gruppo Campari's Italian aperitif brand Aperol is to become the official global spirits sponsor of Manchester United Football Club.
The drinks firm has signed a deal for the tie-up to start from 1 January next year, it revealed after yesterday's first-half results. “This is a huge franchise that has a huge global following... and will give Aperol a very nice boost in terms of visibility,” Campari's CEO Bob Kunze-Concewitz told analysts on a conference call. More details of the link-up would be revealed later in the year, he added.
Aperol suffered in Campari's H1 as poor weather in Europe dragged its sales down by 10%. The 11% abv brand has also been affected by a commercial dispute in Germany with a “key” retailer, Campari said without giving details. Aperol's main markets are Italy, Germany and Austria, according to Campari's website.
