United kit deal

Wtf? This, along with a season outside of the CL will put them right back into contention after this season.

£750m over 10 years with Adidas? Wow, double what Real get. Now that's a serious sponsorship deal.... dropping Nike, maybe we need to renegotiate as ours seems peanuts!!

That's more than twice our Etihad deal and that includes the stadium, shirt sponsor and training facility. £75m a year just for a shirt deal is ridiculous. How can they be worth that? Oh, wait, let me guess: History.

If they qualify for the CL next season, this should be investigated.

It won't be. Adidas wanted this deal real bad. So bad that they offered more than Nike thought it was worth. Let's hope United fail to get CL footy next year and Adidas get their moneys worth.

Don't forget they also have a new shirt sponsor for next season for £52m a year with Chevrolet.

Our deal is indeed peanuts.

FFP my arse .......

Chevy make such crap cars as well............

The really funny part is, Chevrolet are pulling out of Europe altogether in 2016. This means, in a couple of years from now, the sponsor is going to be completely irrelevant to the European viewers.   

Let's hope their relevance in Europe is mirrored by the club they're sponsoring

Adidas claim it will make them £1.5b over the 10 year contract. 

£75m profit per year for one client...

Our Nike one needs looking at and renegotiating.

But it's us mugs that are going to make them the 1.5b

Real Madrid already charge 90 Euro's for their home shirt, it is widely expected the first Rag Addidas shirt will match this.  These companies are certainly not stupid.

Then again it's why I've not bought a shirt since the Thomas Cook days and only then because it was the end of the season and it was a tenner (white/purple one).

I've not bought a shirt for myself since I was 18! Not one for wearing them, however, I have bought my two lads a shirt every season for the past 14 years!! Not cheap.

I'm off to Turkey next Satdi, that's where i get mine and my daughters shirts from....25euros for both.

I've noticed our merchandise seems to have got a lot more expensive over the last 18-24 months. Whilst it was mainly for local fans, they couldn't really take the piss. Now we have gone 'global' fans will pay whatever to get their hands on stuff so the local fan doesn't matter as much.

Sad, but reality.

Can you get me 2 for my lads?   

Can send you a cheque/or transfer the funds before you go!

The last City shirt i got was the white one with the blue and red diagonal stripe in the 70s

I thought it may have been this one PPLF!   

I have bought quite a few shirts in the last 10-15 years but I think I'll start wearing the older ones rather than fork out for the new ones which aren't as good.

I can't take credit for it but I knew I had seen the new Rag Kit somewhere !!
