Re: Stadium Naming Rights.
Yep Arsenals was way way back in 2004 + last December Barcelona received a new 150 million Euro Shirt sponsership (not a peep from UEFA on this mind u, fair value and fair play)
M18CTID said:I don't see how this doesn't represent "fair value" when, as has already been stated, Arsenal agreed a similar deal with Emirates and that was 5 years ago. If it was 3 or 4 times more than that deal then fair enough but it isn't.
Anyway, before I start slagging UEFA off, talk of an investigation into it appears to be driven by the media - for all we know City might have already run this past UEFA and they've no problems with it.
Edit: Ok, looking at the figures it's about double that Arsenal got paid but they signed their deal with Emirates in October 2004 so that was nearly 7 years ago.
