@Vesper Any news on new front shirt sponsor?

Seems like we struggling to find long term sponsor for second year and no one want to offer amount what owners requesting for. 
 

I doubt that anyone will offer more than 50£ a year sponsorship.

Not sure how true this statement is, but it would be laughable for them to think a PL win nearly 10 years ago with a completely different team is worth anything now.

To be taken with a grain of salt, but if true, apparently we are finally going to accept a sponsorship bid in the range of 40-45m.

So does that mean all the 3 years of holding out for a 60m bid were wasted?

Chelsea finally ready to agree £45 million deal, far less than what has been floated for years

https://theprideoflondon.com/Chelsea-finally-ready-to-agree-45-million-deal

snip

As reported by Football Insider, Chelsea’s front-of-shirt sponsorship is likely to be worth around £45 million. Talks are “very advanced” and a decision is expected in the “near term”. 

Well, that is significantly lower than the £60 million figure that had been doing the rounds of the media for so long. In fact, it is not much higher than the £40 million-per-year deal that the club had agreed with Yokohama Tyres back in 2015, more than a decade ago.

While other clubs have been successful in agreeing significantly bigger deals since then, Chelsea seem stuck in one spot. And that means falling behind the rest of the pack. Also, one has to question whether extending this sponsorship deal search for so long was even worth it if the best deal the Blues could get was in the region they were always expected to be in the first place.

 

btw

That £40m per annum deal cut in 2015 is close to £57m per annum in late 2025 pounds pounds sterling when adjusted for inflation

Another source of info to corroborate, looks like.

Laughable that after all the gamesmanship of waiting nearly 3 years for 'the right sponsor' ends up with them retreating with their tails behind their legs. 

To once again quote Eghbali for his astute observation:

"Chelsea were quite frankly an asset not terribly well managed on the football, sporting or promotional side"

Well done to Eghbali & co. in making it more 'well managed.'

The most recent time Chelsea’s away kit was black was in the 2016-17 season, the season in which Chelsea won the Premier League title.
