Etihad Campus, Stadium and Collar Site Development Thread

Re: Etihad Campus, Stadium Development and Collar Site (cont

I'd be very surprised if a sponsorship deal that includes NYFC and MFC will be allowed to pass ffp. No other clubs have these sorts of deals so they will kick up a fuss. Then they will have to sort out what percentage of the deal can be attributed to Manchester City and what for NY and Melbourne. I can see a lot of problems on the horizon for the ffp rules.

Sorry, read it as CFA since this is a thread about the campus.

It will be very interesting to see how they assign/apportion revenues from global partnerships.

If you think back to the original FFP rules about revenues being included as long as they are derived from the clubs name then there is an argument that using City, City's colours etc means ALL revenues should be allowed, although I dont think the CFG will push for that.

But of a global partner pays £100m over 5 years across the whole CFG then surely £80m could be assigned to MCFC?

If the same sponsor were to partner just MCFC would it be worth the same?

Interesting times ahead ;-)

I think it would almost certainly work out something like this. Interesting work for the attorneys and accountants. City could probably argue even a higher percentage of allocation to Manchester City vis-a-vis Melbourne and NYCFC based on relative club profile and valuations.

Of course Forbes and the like do assign valuations to all major sports clubs. You could start with something like that as far as formulating the argument.

from M.E.N online

Boss Manuel Pellegrini has described Manchester City's new training complex as "unbelieveable" and reckons it is the best of its type in the world.

The Blues are set to move into the new facility this month and the Chilean boss believes the switch will be a step change in the club's progress.

It even tops Real Madrid's superb Ciudad Real Madrid ( Real Madrid City ) in Valdebebas, according to the ex-Bernabeu boss.

He said: "I hope we can go there on the first day of the second week in October.

"It's a very important improvement of this club. It's a very nice training ground, it's a huge training ground, where all the young divisions can work together.

"We have all that we need, for physios, for training ground, for pitched, I think it's wonderful.

"For me it's one of the most important things to have an important training ground and all the divisions play together with the professional players, we are going to improve in all senses."

When asked just how good it is Pellegrini said: "Unbelievable. I have been in other important training grounds, such as Real Madrid but this one is the best I've ever seen."

I'm waiting with baited breath to see how the press and media try to 'spin' the world's best training facility, designed to nurture youth and local talent, paid for by the owner, into something evil and wrong.

I also imagine there'll be a number of global companies willing to sponsor the facility for very large amounts of money.

Popcorn ready.

"City move into new Training facility which is state of the art and will assist all other nations football teams but will not Englands chances of future talent because most of the players on the books are foreign." is what I expect. or state of the art training facility paid for by oil money at the expense of helping the community by building hospitals and schools.

Manchester City set for £400million jackpot with Etihad Airways sponsorship extension

The Premier League champions are also ready to unveil a number of newly agreed packages to tie in with their £150m training complex too

Jackpot: City could pocket as much as £400million with an extension of their current deal


Manchester City are about to hit a £400m jackpot.

The Premier League champions are in talks about extending their huge sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways that will bank them an extra £320million.

And City also ready to unveil a number of sponsorship packages ties to their new £150million Academy and training ground that will be worth a further £80million.

The deals will blow away any doubts that the Blues will struggle to meet UEFA’s Financial Fair Play Regulations after being hit with a raft of punishments earlier this year.

City are three years into a 10-year deal with Etihad worth £400million. The airline sponsors the stadium, shirt and a campus which will include the club’s new state-of-the-art training ground.

But it is understood that the agreement is about to be extended a further five years - and an improvement in terms that would see City bank £50million-a-season from the deal.

Builders are currently putting the finishing touches to the training ground, with Manuel Pellegrini’s first-team squad set to move in by the end of the month.

City have already had branding plans approved by the local council and are understood to be close to announcing three partners who will have their names emblazoned all around the complex.

It will include naming rights for a 7,000-capacity stadium to play reserve and youth-team matches and sponsorship for the first-team HQ.

A new bridge linking the Etihad Stadium with the training ground will also have a sponsor.

Each partner will pay around £25million over the course of a five-year deal.

I was told from someone who works in the legal side of city they expect to get around £120m a year sponsorship for the campus and CFA! Also with the etihad deal growing slightly then its a big fuck off to uefa!

So £95 million extra revenue, not bad. As we get £35 million from Etihad now.

Did we not bulldoze a hospital, a junior school and 200 pensioners houses (with them still resident) just to lay a few football pitches?

Just being pedantic I know, but I prefer it this way.
