greetings jedi.....much has been said about the Rio deal.....but for all the critism dished out to the board of directors of Man Utd in years gone by regarding stringent budget control re transfers and wages, jedi master must now humbly conceed that the only reason Utd have been able to go through the Rio deal is down to those buggers in the suits......quite a fantastic business acumen in those blokes.....otherwise we may quite easily be going down the same sad road lazio and several other clubs are being forced to......so a toast to the buggers in suits behind the PLC side of Utd, good job mates, still can't stand you buggers but atleast admit on the right side of the force you are, does jedi master.......may the force be with you ;)
 
I agree with Yoda, looking back on it Edwards really did a very good job. :eek:

23 July 2002 - Carrington, official training ground of Manchester United Football Club; historic razor manufacturer, Wilkinson Sword, today announces a global 4-year sponsorship and licensing deal with world renowned football club, Manchester United.

This exciting partnership opens a new category within Manchester United, as Wilkinson Sword becomes the football club's first ever official grooming partner.

These incorporate: N Ireland, Republic of Ireland, Scandinavia, Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, China, Hong Kong, North America and South Africa.

David Bainbridge, Business Director, Wilkinson Sword UK and Eire, commented: "We are delighted to be teaming up with Manchester United which has the biggest fan base in the UK. Both Wilkinson Sword and Manchester United are long established and pioneering brands. With a mutual target audience and a commitment to excellence, I am sure that the next five years will prove to be extremely beneficial to both parties. We are very much looking forward to it."
