So do you really think fans of other clubs will be nice about us just because we have different sponsors? They don’t actually give a toss about our sponsors, they just hate the fact we are successful and will find something else to use to put us down even if we were sponsored by Greenpeace and Amnesty International.

Just supposing for a minute that we ditch Etihad from the group, and then they go in with United.
How would those saying "do it" react ?

Yep

Club sponsorship deals worth more than £1 million will have to be submitted to the Premier League to check it is not an “associated party” transaction.

As first reported by The Times, new regulations were agreed last week and sent to clubs, despite opposition from Newcastle United and Manchester City.

If the Premier League board suspects a transaction is from an “associated party” or “is otherwise than at arm’s length”, it will now conduct a “fair market value assessment” to determine whether its value has been evidently inflated.

The threshold for this is deals over £1 million, including payments from associated parties to clubs’ players, managers and senior officials.

Is there anything to suggest these deals are less than £1m?

I wouldnt have thought there would be too many as "low" as that...
 
Asking for a friend, do Standard Charter have a High Street presence that would in any way attract your average Britain consumer...

It's just that RAWK asks why Etisalat would have any need to sponsor City. You know, being only available in the Emirates and Egypt...

Never change, Dippers. Never change.
 
We'll need to sort out a few more like these to pay for Haaland. Is that urine I can smell on the wind from the west?
Suck it up boys I think we've a few more associated sponsorships to come. Any noodle companies in the offing?

Not sure where you are coming from with your post and I may have understood your point. However, to carry on (1) any system that even smells of being a Cartel is forbidden in law in all western societies/countries. (2) It is also illegal to prevent a competitor trading/developing by using any means that results from a position of dominance (yours) in that market.

The old G14 clubs colluded to introduce an FFP system based on revenue rather than it's original target of debt. Having seen Chelsea's rise they weren't having City and PSG muscling in. Well that's failed and so the next option is bring in new restrictions around sponsorship deals to try and restrict our, and obviously now, Newcastle's revenue. I was a bit vague, my apologies.

They do have a presence in London as a Private Bank to ’non-doms’, looking to maximise revenue by using a ‘Jersey based platform’. Essentially they wash foreigners money in a way that means they will be paying very little or no UK taxes.

They also have a part of the bank call ‘Saadiq’ which is dedicated to Islamic Banking, which they probably purposefully keep quiet about, especially when in Liverpool…

Lipton did snidily end his piece by saying timing is everything.

I would expect the Masdar deal to be considerably more than the Emirates Palace partnership.

The whole Emirate is geared up for life after oil and can easily justify its market position and the pay terms when it comes to such a topic.

At what point are people going to realise that companies don’t sponsor teams to tap into their fanbase? Do Chevrolet target United because some of their fans might buy one of their motors? Obviously not.

It’s about worldwide exposure and there’s few bigger platforms than the Premier League. The size of your fanbase is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme. Far more important to sponsors is success on the pitch because that elevates an already high platform into the stratosphere.

City get big deals because we’ve been the most successful team in the biggest league in the world for the past decade.

Yes it’s next door to the Chevrolet showroom on the same street as the visit Rwanda Travel Agency behind the Gazprom site.

Can't move in Liverpool without passing a Standard Chartered branch.
