Shirt Sponsor 23/24 - BK8

[Villatillidie25]

They’re just a betting firm aren’t they? (Normal morality issues apply as someone else posted). BK8 are much worse aren’t they?
Does anyone know how much the BK8 deal was worth?

The money is good but it’s a piss poor sponsor

i would agree about the sponsor being not good, but this is the best deal that we can do at this time.

Hopefully continued success in Europe over the next couple of seasons means that we can get a major brand in the next shirt sponsorship deal.

It will be interesting to see what happens when they ban gambling companies sponsorship.

In one of the threads, someone reckons that changing to Adidas and Betano makes us £23mil better off a season. So I don't think it was high.

Edit: Percy in the FFP.

Pretty impactful figures. Reported annual amounts here, no ITK, but Castore (£3m) to Adidas (£12m), and BK (£6m) to Betano (£20m). Dare we say well done Heck?

Bk8 was about £8m per season.

If it's £20m a season then it's a fantastic deal.  A betting company isn't ideal, but we've had one for a number of years now and in our situation we need to take the income whilst it's available.  £20m a season covers the first 2 years amortisation of £100m of expenditure (assuming 5 year contracts) and could be the difference between having to sell a player like Douglas Luiz or not.   

According to Wiki
Man C - £68m
Liverpool - £50m
Man U - £48m
Arse - £40m
Chelsea - £40m
Spurs - £40m
Newcastle - £25m
Everton - £10m

When you start looking at kit manufacturer deals and sponsorship, you realise how far away we are from the "greedy six".
We have been pulling in about £10M a year, where they are easily pulling in £100M+ per year, add in CL money, and there is a massive gap.
Hopefully now we are well positioned to start competing both on and off the pitch with them for the top prizes.

This new sponsorship deal is very exciting. Reminds me of Dalian's goal Vs Wimbledon.

That logo looks like a bell end to me…..

I had no idea what you were talking about.  Then once you've seen it you can't unsee it.

We should be sponsored by Legal & General for the brolly .

Ha!

It will be. Presumably if there were a decent amount of companies queuing up to offer the same sort of money, clubs would have gone with these instead, but there doesn't seem to be.

Yep, let's hope that our away kit isn't light with the sponsor logo in a purpley claret...

It'll probably make it tougher for us, the likes of Citeh and the Jaudis will still have their state sponsors chucking money at them.

Personally I would mud wrestle my own grandmother if it meant another £22m coming onto the revenue stream per season.  It’s what’s needed to have happened for years.  Fleecing the fans inside the ground I’m against this I’m not.

Never fear, we can do both!
