For what? If you are pairing them together, I assume that you are referring to the fact that they allegedly solicitated the services of an escort who happened to be 16 but was lying about her age and didn't look like a 16 years old, largely due to cosmetic surgery?
There is a difference between committing something illegal knowingly and unknowingly. And generally people will weight things differently based on circumstances.
It’s difficult, because as you well know we’re not supposed to talk about the specifics.
But if any player’s situation now is no different, legally, to that of Evans (who recently rejoined Utd) or RvP who Adidas have also had no issue in endorsing then I can’t really see how any player would get treated differently.
Big contracts and huge companies tend to view things from a legal POV rather than conjecture, so I don’t really see, at this point, Adidas having issue with that.
If so, any club would have to refuse the player - even if on a free - if they happened to have Adidas as a sponsor. Just can’t see it.
But but but City have the highest revenues in world football even more than RM, Barca, Man Utd and BM. They are also the richest and most valuable football club.
UEFA and PL are sleeping on their jobs.

Obviously all the boycott Adidas hashtags, email onslaughts and don't buy the shirt campaigns have worked.
The deal isn't for an upfront fee but 10 yearly payments.
Adidas are miles better than Nike these days.
United and Arsenal kits > Liverpool and Chelsea kits over the last few years.

They never have before.
I know, I was joking.
Who else is getting that type of deal with the ten years on the pitch we've had? We're a sleeping giant who should be winning massive trophies. I just cant see any other club doing what we can do, while being so ripped off buy our owners. Its so, so imperative that we get sold in the next few months. We cut the reigns cut off our neck.
For sure. Utd is a shackled monster.
Get rid of those fecking loser wretches and watch the rest of the PL gulp.
A reduction on the last deal in real terms. Unsurprising given our on pitch performance in that time.
In 10 years £90M per year will be a bad deal.
I hope and assume we can increase this at a later date. Otherwise its just more Glazernomics.
People lapping up more money rolling in, then piss their pants at the Glazers not selling, this is why.
Maybe they know things are going to get better for the club?
Umbro notwithstanding I always felt our Nike shirts were far superior to anything Adidas put up (although I like our current shirt) with the likes of our 2006/7 and 2007/8 being certified classics, doesn't hurt that we lofted our last title rocking nike kits either so on a purely aesthetic point of view i prefer them.
I find Adidas's proprietary three stripes a bit unsightly with it clogging the already visually clamped shirt with all the adverts and such so them staying is somewhat disappointing i suppose.
Still they're paying a decent amount of dosh so who cares.

The Adidas ‘80s Sharp kits were the greatest Utd kits.

Good news for the club in some ways, as it secures funds over a long period of time. Though it does worry me, that we are effectively locking ourselves into this for 10+ years at a point in time when we are meant to be selling up. That doesn't strike me as a move from owners that are intending to sell, as it removes the ability for new owners to seek out different options.
I think we can make an exception for thoseThe Adidas ‘80s Sharp kits were the greatest Utd kits.

Have we ever won the league under Adidas?
Nope…Have we ever won the league under Adidas?

In the last 56 years we have only won the league under one man. Something else to think about.
The new ownership is already in place. It's the same as the old ownership unfortunately.
Believe me, if they could they would.
There is no new ownership.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
£900m is an incredible deal.
Imagine the Glazers will be ramping up the asking sale price.
