A Villa Park naming rights deal on June 30th is the inevitable outcome here surely.

Worth relative buttons, but it all helps I suppose.

The top 1 in football is Man City at £15m and that’s a fiddle. Athletico Madrid are second with £8.4m, Besiktas are fifth at £6m. We may get about that I suppose.

Surprised small heath aren’t facing questions about going straight in with a bullet at number two in the world, according to the blue coat.

The biggest deals tend to be stadium and shirt. Barcelona get a fair chunk from Spotify, even just over a decade ago Arsenal were pulling in £30m from Emirates for stadium and shirt. We were reported to be £8m from Genting at the time.

Stadium deals are worth far more if it's a new ground with no previously established name, so everyone has to use it. If we change our stadium name, everybody will still call it Villa Park. Stadium deal wouldn't be worth a fat lot.

Adidas Villa Park has a ring to it.

Tell that to Barcelona

We could go into partnership with a Mexican clothing company and be Poncho Villa Park. Or with a company that specialises in making clothing out of spotted dogs and be the Cruella de Villa Park. They'd probably still be ethically superior to Under Armor.

Pfft, we have nothing to learn from those kit-stealing twats.

Maybe we could get a town to sponsor the stadium, like Villa Park in Illinois.

Only an Arsenal fan on twitter, so not gospel, but he reckoned the naming rights part of their Emirates sponsorship accounts for £4m a year out of the total.

[PeterWithesShin]

It's hard to know how much exactly as Emirates pay for shirt, stadium and training kit sponsorship. The three together is a decent chunk. I doubt it matters for accounts how much each element is, just the grand total. Which depending on different sources is anything from £50-60m a year. There's a Luiz each year you don't have to sell.

Some article in “footballer insider” stating we need to raise £60m from player sales to avoid being in breach. That seems pretty high to me, but I hope it’s not the case.

I can’t see it being that much. Based on our request for the allowable losses being upped by £30m, that could be the figure. If it’s more than that we might have been working on the principles that a £60m increase was even less likely to be voted through, and every little helps.

And on top of all that, I’m not sure how Football Insider would know.

Had anyone suggesting asking Wes Edens about getting Fortress Investment Group to sponsor the stadium. We could call it ....

Yes hopefully it’s inaccurate- if it is though that’s a pretty poor place to have gotten ourselves into.
