Manchester United announce TeamViewer as shirt sponsor

Mark Ogden:
...United could yet reduce the deficit caused by the loss of the Chevrolet deal by securing an automobile sponsor. The Chevrolet deal also saw the American company signed up as United's official car partner, but sources have said that a replacement could see the club earn approximately £10m annually from another automotive partner...




I hope shit-stirrer Ogden is wrong on this, £10m won't make up for the drop in shirt deal.
 
Every time there's a new shirt sponsor people complain. Calm down calm down it looks ok.

:nono::nervous: That is bloody horrible.
 
Really? To each their own. Usually I'll buy the legit home shirt each season and order a few fakes if I like the away and third but if the logo is going to look as bad as it does (to me) then I won't be buying. Same reason I didn't buy the zebra kit. Of course you want to wear things that look pleasing on the eye.
I don't really consider a football kit a fashion accessory. Having a plain white double-headed arrow wouldn't be the deal breaker.
 
I can’t post media, maybe someone else could embed this?

it's not going to be blue, it's white - and it definitely won't be laid out like that :lol:


Sharp, Vodafone, AIG, AON, Chevrolet, to Team viewer doesn't look very good. It's the kind of sponsor you'd expect to see on a small clubs shirt.
If they're paying a record amount just after COVID who cares?

Yes it will. The full value of the Chevy deal was $79m per year which is 57m pounds per year. Exchange rate fluctuations made this actually slightly lower. If the automobile sponsor exceeds about 8m per year, it’ll be worth more. We also shattered the sleeve sponsor record with Koehler for 24m per year, which had an impact on renegotiating the new shirt deal.

We continue to break up sponsor categories which has driven commercial revenue up. You need to take a holistic view of commercial revenue not a myopic one on a single facet. It’s one area the club has crushed it.

We’ll announce a new automobile sponsor and training sponsor and the overall value will be up. Which in this climate is fantastic.

MY point exactly. This looks like the first sign that our commercial power is effected by the football. Who knew. Certainly not Ed.

This is potentially very bad. Be sure the Glazers where shite owners when we where the biggest commercial football club in the world. Imagine how bad they'll be if we don't stay that way

Makes you wonder how much 'We're sorry, but Manchester United is no longer a symbol of the success that our brand would like to be associated with' we heard.
 
For reference our shirt only deal is for £40m per season with 3 (3 seasons). Yes it's a drop for you but it's still a little more than most, but the reduction comes at a time when other revenues will also reduce for all clubs.

Luckily you don't need to money as much as us. Glazers use any excuse to run this club into the ground

The difference won't be coming out of their dividends. It's will be taken out of the football club.

Just like how they still took dividends during Covid yet blamed it as a reason we couldn't spend. Leeches is the best word for them
 


Key word being Could.

Also our AON training complex deal and kit deal is up.

We where getting around 22.5 million pounds for that.

If that goes down as well then it's clear as day that this isn't good news.

It's not a drop as it is shirt only deal. Who cares which company is sponsoring us if they are paying record amount for sponsorship. AIG was our sponsor who were partly responsible for 2008 global meltdown leading to thousands losing their jobs. If we can associate with that company then what is the issue with this?

And yet you've already decided this is a worse deal when there is every chance we'll actually INCREASE our revenue in an atrocious economic climate. All things considered, this is a good deal despite your protestations. You seem to be trying pretty hard to make this seem a bad thing.

Yeah - I didn’t realise Chevrolet was actually 51m. When you think about it we’re getting 8m more than our domestic rivals and have negotiated that during a pandemic induced economic shut-down. Pretty impressive to be honest. If we get anything like the 10m Ogden is saying for the automobile deal then we will actually be up on the previous deal.

Why don't you check out which other team has higher shirt only sponsorship deal than this before spreading doom and gloom?

It drops every time I read it. First I read it was £50m, then £47m now it’s £40m?
 
TeamViewer.... what a strange deal. You wouldn’t think they have the brand power to sponsor a club like United.

At least they announced the logo will be in white. I’ll be honest I was expecting a major brand to be the new shirt sponsor and this is very underwhelming.

......TeamViewer. Sounds like somebody who would sponsor Peterborough United.
 
Considering the 'changes' we have done at board level then this sponsorship is more then appropriate

Seriously?

The journalist is saying could because with this deal we can be more flexible and do other deals. We got £5m a year with Chevy but it tied us to other deals.

If the club decided to bring another sponsor to the automobile deal, it would be alot higher than £5m a year anyway which would offset any drop in the training kit deal.

Sponsors will queue up, I'm not sure what the problem is.

It's not beyond the realms of possibility to see us earn even more. Because if the Chevy deal was £51m anually over the course of it's duration and the new deal is £47m annually then a new automobile partner offering at least £4m anually will see us hit parity. Anything more and we exceed what we got out of Chevy.
 
They'll make it a plain white (or whatever the shirt's trim colour is) logo+text situation, which will be much less ugly than the chevy logo.
