Don't know a great deal about them either. It's a case of wait and see I suppose.

So you want the club to spend money but not bring any in?

No, it was more about us avoiding relegation at any cost.

How about administration or insolvency?

I know Nike messed right up but my very understated grey Nike hoodie with the very small lion stitched on the sleeve is getting a tad worn. I hope this new Armour brand can make something as nice but simple as that top.

I loved the plain white away shirt Nike made us for one season when we had Acorns on the front.

Spurs kits look alright to me.

I'm quite looking forward to UA. The Macron kits have been largely awful. I'm still disappointed we've never seen an Adidas Villa kit though.

I'm sure something like this would have gone down a storm!

Me too mate, I would like adidas kits or Umbro for a few seasons, I hate the Spurs design it looks shite so I would rather avoid Under Armour...

I don't think that would be their choice of design if they made our kits now would it..?

Well if they could come up with it for the kit stealers, why couldn't they have done it for us.

The point is, whoever gets the honour there's always the possibility of getting dicked around (Nike) or dodgy designs (that Adidas kit, some of the Puma ones this season e.g. Watford.)

That Adidas West Ham kit is replica of one of their kits from the 80s so we wouldn't have ended up with that design.

Let's be honest, whatever kit we have next season will be shit, regardless of the supplier. For the simple reason there's a very good chance it'll have Championship logos on each sleeve.

I am struggling to understand but I really like this post. Its like a word connumndrum or cryptic crossword or something, ill save it for lunchtime. For what its worth I would imagine that the new deal will be heavily claused depending on us going down and when we come back up and numbered accordingly. It is easy to believe that even the bottom line of it will be more lucrative than a deal struck 4 years ago though

Thank You matt...I was trying to be elusive...  :D

Fox sold Arsenal like you sell ice-cream in a heat wave. Hundreds of bidders for even the corner flag. Why get off his bottom ~~ let his PA/Secretary etc deal with it...get it on your CV when you choose the highest bidder?
 {Get Randy to think you are Brill, and suggest a couple of your "Wenger Dynasty" compatriots come along to secure Villa's future}

Now, if the reports are true, he has secured a deal that is worth more than any previous deal. And he secured it as we are a Prem Side with a global audience...etc.

WE ain't gonna be a global attraction, if the worst happens, is there a withdrawal clause for relegation? :D
A reduction/adjustment~~ as you suggest ?

If we go down, and the Toon do as well we can kiss goodbye to TV exposure.
I mean, Leeds hogged the TV in the Chumps league ~ 11 matches before Christmas~ they even went to court to stop further TV matches,their following, with the Toon and the Mackems are going to push us way down TV exposure~~~AND that is heavy factor in selling sponsorship. For shirts...and Corner Flags.

WE are not sitting here selling Ice-Cream in a  heat wave.... Fox may be right...Faulkner's deal may have been pro rata 4 years ago, but I will be amazed ~~ as you should be~~matt~~  if Fox's deal is anywhere above Brighton's, Derby's or Boro's.

I doubt it. They will pay us X amount to supply X amount of shirts. They will also be able to flog our shirts through other retailers which will be more profitable for them as club won't take a cut of that e.g. Sports direct.
