A mid table club managed to land biggest kit deal in history. Glazer debt pretty much wiped out, crazy deal from Addidas.

It's all performance related, it will be nowhere near that figure.

Incentives perhaps..

70% of Uniteds annual profits were used to service Glazer debt interest.

It'll be down to 15% now due to this deal.

It's hard for some people to accept or understand just how big Manchester United is. One year out of the UCL doesn't alter that and I don't think anyone expects that absence to continue.

Add the £53m a year Chevrolet are paying to have their name on the kit and it's mindboggling money really. Should help pay off more of that debt 

Chevrolet sacked the boy that brokered that deal the week after it was signed

Glazers are earning their corn now. Man U fans should be greateful to them for a change.

Manchester United have announced a 10-year contract with the German manufacturers Adidas to be the club's new kit sponsor for a record-breaking minimum £750m.

The agreement commences at the start of the 2015-16 season and ends Nike's 13-year relationship with United.

A club statement said: "Manchester United plc has reached a 10-year agreement with Adidas for a global technical sponsorship and dual-branded licensing deal for a minimum guarantee of £750 million, subject to certain adjustments, beginning with the 2015-2016 campaign. For the 2014-2015 season, Nike will continue in its role of technical sponsor and trademark licensee."

As reported in the Guardian in January, the contract dwarfs the £30m a-year terms agreed by Arsenal with Puma in that month


Real Madrid have a 8 deal worth £248m, Arsenal 5 year deal with Puma worth 170million, Liverpool 6 year deal with Warrior is £150m, Barcelona 10 year deal with Nike worth £27m a year , £270 overall. Manchester City has a 6 year deal with Nike worth £12m a year, £72m in total.

The new Utd deal dwarfs any of those.

Why? Would the deal not have been possible only for the Glazers

Exactly. Nothing to be grateful to them for. They're still stealing a nice % of this cash every year.

It's illegal to steal money etc.
