"...maybe those deals weren’t overvalued after all?”

Manchester City’s record £1bn deal with Puma and the value beyond bottom line
The 10-year contract is worth £1bn but it has also opened the door to increase the club’s global profile with other lucrative partnerships
www.theguardian.com

The kit sponsorship with Puma could prove an extremely useful justification in relation to City`s ongoing challenge against amended Premier League `rules`.

Points of note -

“Puma are very disciplined about what they will pay for sponsorship deals so will not have overpaid, or at least not by more than they had to. They are very rigorous.”

“This is a huge deal for City, in terms of what it says about the size of the club and their ability to attract independent sponsors...”

As well as supporting City`s case it could could also lead the way to other lucrative long term partnerships and value for money contracts.

And in respect, how many Man City fans bemoaned Chelsea’s takeover before Man City’s?

It’s nothing we don’t discuss as Newcastle United fans. The top 6 (you excluded) all dismiss the topic because it suits them to just tar every newcomer as moneymen and for some reason they think they earned their place at the top because it doesn’t matter if you were bankrolled in the 50’s,70’s, and 80’s as you can rewrite history.

The other clubs are just happy to existing. You think a Brighton fan gives a fuck when 20 years ago they had no stadium and were in the lower leagues? The irony being that their takeover made them as unreachable to those lower league teams as the top 6 are to them now. The likes of Crystal Palace etc are happy just being in the Premier League, even more so now they fluked their FA Cup win.

This maybe highly controversial, but every single club in the Premier League is waiting for the Americans to lock the Premier League.
The whole same clubs going up and down suits them. They have the money to keep a distance between themselves and safety, and once they are officially locked in and the Premier League is able to get a TV broadcast deal that rivals the NFL, we’ll see it so every club gets £400m per season regardless of how well they do. It will make a lot of the owners billionaires overnight.
The sad thing is, so long as your club is on the right side of the divide, most fans will secretly love it. Never going down, all the money in the world so they have great players, even if they don’t compete at the top of the league.

I was happy for Chelsea as it broke the monopoly

As someone who was leaving school and had gotten loads of shit from rags, i was happy at thought of a club taking over United.

While im talking about Chelsea, and we are on the chargers thread. Was it even mentioned at all that Chelsea got charged for breaking rules during the cwc that they went and won? Did it diminish their achievement? Was it mentioned by the media when they won? I didn't see it, completely different for city.

I don’t remember any of us. I don’t remember anyone bemoaning any takeover until ours. Not plucky Blackburn, Chelsea, Boro were all splashing we didn’t even complain with Pompey’s journey to the fa cup win after tapping loads of our players up. There was a special effort for us when got taken over. You’ll also notice that no City fans have been wanting to pull the draw bridge up after us. However, we are entitled to to smirk at clubs who are hampered by the rules they voted for aimed at stopping us.

I welcomed Chelsea breaking the cartel first. Also, I had no problem them winning the CWC. Newcastle on the other hand, even though I think you are a decent poster on here, I have never forgiven for breaking a young lads heart in 1955. Now that may make me look like a bitter FOC but broken hearts take time to heal!
Seriously though I do hope you can put another wound in one of the red cartel teams. Bit of advice, don't take posters on here seriously;-)
Anyway tha Lions are restarting so must go. ;-)

Without forming a breakaway league, how do you envisage we do that ??

European Football, especially the EPL is like a gentlemans club & no matter how much money we have our faces will never fit.

It was ironic that the cartel clubs trying to force a Super League gave us a way in with UEFA

Well we missed one huge opportunity to build a much better relationship with the non big 6 clubs by signing up to the ESL.

We could build stronger ties and a voting block with the anti PSR clubs.

Khaldoon said the new stand will be a "game changer" so expect some surprising and piss boiling collaborations.

Not too sure about that but what will change things is the hotel. As far as I know it’s 100% City, not CFG. MASSIVE(!) potential income. A combined Etihad Airways flight, hotel stay, and corporate style match ticket will bring rich bastards from all over the world. Bloody tourists coming over here and spending shitloads on City, dammit.
Oh, and if we are ever under PSR pressure we can sell it to CFG for £500m.

It's because our owner is brown. If we had a generic American we'd get called a 'historic traditional legacy club'.
