I'd love to but we're in Exmoor that day/week, I've even had to sell my Chelsea v Everton ticket
Blown out by a Don, does it get any worse
Still pretty impressive seeing as footballers can hardly string a sentence together

Our transfer committee might not be performing wonders at the moment but our marketing department certainly are...
Garuda are our training shirt sponsors and that contracts worth more than all but 6 of the Premiership clubs main sponsors

Our marketing department is better, we are growing sports direct for Mike Ashley for free!!!!!!!

It's the way it's going, it's like the training kit deal we have with DHL, it won't be long until it's like in France etc where there are several sponsors on the same shirt. (It might already be being done in the lower leagues?)

Was quite surprised how little some teams get for their sponsors. There are 6 Premiership clubs with deals ranging from £18 million to £30 million and the rest are all £6 million or less.

Most don't get a lot of coverage, the majority of teams out of euro slots get next to nothing for their shirt sponsors, not much different to some championship team deals. Liverpool while currently not in europe were a mainstay of champs league pretty much when the deals started to increase, and that european coverage translated into good sponsorship deals.
That's the crux of it really, the 'bigger' teams will be getting lots more because they hold the dominant position.
The likes of United, Chelsea, Arsenal, City etc will be demanding more because of the exposure those advertisers will get. The DHL one for United got me, they pay us a huge amount just for their logo on the training pitch but if you think how many pictures you see in the paper of Rooney et al on the training ground, it makes sense.

It's no surprise Spain is so gimped (no pun intended) though is it? You look at the EPL where we share the big money evenly (tv deals) but there are still huge income divisions due to CL and other forms of advertising.
Makes me glad the EPL at least tries to make things equal.

Hope that the players don't become like f1 drivers with tens of sponsors o the kit.

It's already like that in France and it wouldn't massively shock me to see it happen.

I really don't care, I watch the football, not the shirt sponsors. outside of the shirts being clearly different for the opposition(which isn't always the case) and preferably not making my eyes bleed(Barcelona have been pretty damn bad with this recently) I couldn't care less if you couldn't make out the Arsenal badge for sponsorship lettering.
THe only time I'd have a problem if at corners they walked up to the camera's and plugged their products.... unless it was funny products, Suarez advertising horse feed or dental practice, Jones advertising beauty cream, Young advertising scuba gear, Giroud advertising a male escort service or some automatic heimlich maneuver device
In fact, I'd welcome more sponsors on shirts AND a legal maximum ticket pricing.
If Arsenal games cost £20 a ticket, and the shortfall was made up by two more names on a shirt, awesome. It would also enable lower epl teams to make up some of the difference ie for Arsenal we could lose say 50mil stadium income, but gain that back from sponsors but say Wigan already charge little and have low attendance but being able to have 2 more sponsors might bring them in another 5-10million, it would give the bottom half of the table a slightly better chance, ish. The being a top team now and getting bigger money also accounts for new fans to football, they predominantly get drawn to better teams. So it's hard for lower teams to sell out stadiums and impossible for them to come up with the £300mil it takes to build a 60-80k stadium, and then would have trouble filling them up.
I always forget how the german league makes all it's cash, but they have stupid low ticket pricing in general?

That's quite a good reasoning behind having multiple sponsors. Prices are getting out of hand now and the sport is turning into a middle class one and neglecting the working class supporter.
Yeah, when we were in Dortmund and were talking to the locals, they pay 200 euros for a season ticket!! 200! That didn't include CL games though. Incredible

Gunners get it worse than anyone in general though visiting fans are never happy. Liverpool fans quite rightly complaining about £93 ticket prices...... When tv/league money has increased every year...... and then ticket prices do also it's a bit of a joke, not least considering we charge more than any other top team with little success to go with those prices.
Arsenal should have stopped at £60 max for the non executive seating levels, and simply stopped throwing money around at useless players years ago.
I always mean to look into the entire structure of the German league, Bayern are pretty close to top of the tables in terms of revenue, yet with seemingly very low ticket prices I'm not quite sure where they beat say Utd on income, domestic tv money, more sponsorship deals, not sure.
Atmosphere at german games seems incredible as well. If my knee's ever improve, I really want to try and go to a few Dortmund games.
