Citeh Rename Stadium

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Interesting.

Etihad is owned by ManCity's owner's brother. Make of that what you will

Anyway, from what I've heard before, we've been looking for a stadium sponsor for a while now.. Samsung Bridge anyone?

If we change to samsung arena they might be able to put some decent speakers in the stadium and play some chants so we can add something to our woeful home support.................

I think we'd get the mickey taken out of us even more if we had speakers starting chants. It would seem lame with someone on a loudspeaker starting 'zigga zagga' and then about 10 people joining in

10m a year? Not bad at all.. The fact that the company is quite close to Mansour means that City establishing themselves amongst the top teams and the "Manhester City" brand getting bigger wouldn't have made much of a difference on the sum they will get.

"City of Manchester" was so bloody generic that changing its name is going to be easy, certainly easier than renaming Stamford Bridge which is why its naming rights are probably worth much less.

I look like a right mug now...

Clever move from City but I feel bad for their supporters

It's the way the sport is going these days, football is ruled by money & it's sucking the life and soul out of the game. Stamford Bridge will always be Stamford Bridge to the fans even if/when it's renamed to something stupid like "Samsung Arena".

Don't stress haha

Liverpool and Arsanal are now complaining about City deal.

I think they are just jealous.

UEFA should stay the hell out of this!

They are not jealous. This deal is one of the most immoral things in football business history.

Not because they renamed the stadium, football is business and money, but when you talk about business this deal is immoral.

Arsanal got payed for letting their stadium be named the Emirates....

Is just pure jealousy from everyone.

And Wenger likes to just moan about random little things,no results to moan about yet so having a go at them

Are you fucking crazy?

We are talking about a 400m english pounds deal. Its even more than the top NFL clubs in USA, clubs that are a greater brand that City in every aspect. Clubs that movement much more money.

This is just a stupid strategy to avoid the axe under the Platini's financial Fair Play.

Stupid shaiks. This and artificial fee. No serious company in the world would pay such amount of money to any football club, even if its Barcelona or United, and what about City.

Yeah but Arsanal did the same thing.....
