When did you new deal with Addidas kick in?
Adidas supplied kit at season start 2015-16. About the time we split off the AON/Chevrolet sponsorship deal IIRC.

Interesting now that the new range of Adidas boots are all red/white/black (I think to coincide with Pogba's arrival as he is the face of Adidas now. #pogboots and all that). My boys have the replica items that don't half look good with their replica kits. smile

Last year 15/16 - something like £700 over 10 seasons...which would have been an increase of around 35-40m over the Nike deal we had
So that'll account for maybe a third of the increase in commercial?

Yup I would agree to a degree (as I have taken just general figures from various sources BBC, Sky etc...) We were in the CL last year which is easily forgotten too smile

The main problem with Memphis is/was he thought he made it. No doubt unbelievable talent but maybe the move came too fast for him.
He had made it. £80k+ a week and a hideous Bentley means you've made it if you're Memphis Depay. fk any trophies.
True, but you meant a hideous Rolls Royce, G wagon, S Class Coupe etc.

He even had a clause in his contract that whenever he became World footballer of the year he received an extra bonus of 1,25M......

Memphis is a model for anything and everything that's wrong with modern football; too quick, too soon.

But then again, the EPL stands for everything that's wrong with modern football(well most of it).

Regained our top spot off the pitch.

Does anyone know where you've managed to find an increase of over £100m from?
At the game Sunday the pitch side boards were advertising the official Manchester United Tractor FFS!.
But also top spot on biggest debt in world football:

It's not a problem when your net debt is around 9 months income. I think plenty on here would be happy to have such small real debt.

I get cold sweats if my debt is 9 hours income! But my colleagues call me Arkwright.

It's a burden United can carry, but it's still a significant sum.

Plus if rumours are correct, buying Griezmann for another 100m....

Griezmann most likely depends on if we get UCL next season, if so that's £80million from Adidas. Don't think we'll struggle in signing Griezmann in terms of finance.

Good to see the level playing field in full swing. smile


He is decent though & he'd be a good addition to the premier league.

Why should there be a level playing field? All our money is self generated based on the huge history and success of the club over decades. There isn't a level playing field in business so why should there be in football?

We're very altruistic and line your pockets when we come and fill WHL for you wink.

Griezmann was on Maureen's first list of players to sign, back in May. Would be great to see him join.

Is that because most of your fans only have to travel 20 mins to get there?

I'd say at least 20 mins. Wouldn't want to be anywhere nearer that sthole of an area wink.

How do all you closet United fans see the weekend panning out?

I can see us beating Stoke and a draw between Spurs & City would be ideal. Can't see Chelsea or Arsenal loosing this weekend but stranger things have happened smile
