What the actual fug?

Sportswear giant Adidas has signed a £750m deal to make Manchester United's kit for 10 years from next season.

It comes after US rival Nike decided to end its association at the end of the 2014-15 season.

Nike has been paying United £23.5m a year, and the new deal is worth a world record-breaking £75m ($128m) a season to the Old Trafford club.

Champions League winner Real Madrid's £31m-a-year deal with Adidas was previously the biggest club deal.

Adidas will provide training and playing kit to all the club's teams and will have the exclusive right to distribute dual-branded merchandising products worldwide.

The huge sum involved is only £40m less than the Glazer family paid for the club in 2005.

That doesn't make any sense... why would Adidas pay so much more?  Thats 320% increase...  Now Manchester United got extra  £75m in transfer fees every season.  I honestly think FIFA should open an investigation, you got a faul play written all over this deal just like Manchester City and  £400m Etihad deal. 

 

Manchester United started to slide.  Multiple sponsors dropped them and players do not want to join them and out of the blue they announcing this crazy deal that will make Manchester United stay copetitive in EPL for at least another 10 years.

 

That is so unfair to teams like Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Everton, and Newcastle.

Apparently, Real gets £25m and Barca about the same.

Arsenal signed new record deal with Puma last year worth £34m a year.

Good thing Puma is only 5 year deal. 4 years left. Arsenal will ask for £75m a year in 4 years.

Can't wait until jerseys cost $350.

They are 3rd. Real Madrid and Barcelona are 1 and 2.

Someone injected heavy finances into ManU through Adidas. ManU was about to become new Leeds United but someone have a lot of stake to let it happen.

I can't believe Adidas would agree to pay that. I mean, it's over 1 billion USD over 10 years. Something doesn't smell right.

That's what I said. A clear faul play. Someone is trying to save Manchester United from collapse.

Look at what Manchester fans are saying..."We got money, now players will join us"

Now Adidas has put themselves in an interesting position. Real Madrid and Bayern are going to want substantially more than they are currently receiving.

Real got 7 more years before new contract...  Adidas just opened a flood gate.  So glad Arsenal signed only 5 year deal.  Chelsea got screwed, they signed 300m 10 year deal last year.

So Adidas expects 1.5% of their total anual sales to be Manchester United products... Such a horseshit.  I have a feeling Glazers will put a club up for sale. This Adidas deal completely pays off Glazers debt and is now lucrative to potential buyers.  I think Glazers borrowed money, gave it to Adidas to sign that deal.  Now Manchester United looks very lucrative and projected to yelled good returns for next 10 years. They will sale it for way more than a club that looks like it about to collapse and cannot attract good players.

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
