Pink blazers for the singing block is it?

I don't see where the problem is with giving Heck some credit for this. Having NS on the Adidas board will have almost certainly helped, as he'd have been able to point Heck towards the right doors to knock ... but Adidas are going to do what's best for Adidas. They aren't going to pay above market rate for the deal, and they ain't committing people who are better deployed elsewhere.

When we see the kits & merchandise we'll know how good a deal it is. Cos if Adidas are putting in the effort for us then Heck has done well. That's what we're aiming for, not just being able to get Adidas kits which even Small Heath can manage (if they pay for generic ones and print them up with the bollocks badge)

I would say as others have pointed out Emery getting us champions league is the biggest factor in getting Adidas, Sawiris will have a influence as well, wouldn't be surprised if this was the easiest deal Heck has ever done Because of Champions League and Sawiris it's a bit like putting Haaland infront of goal with no goalkeeper there to beat.

The Adidas deal was sorted way before Champions League was secured.

Yep, and Adidas won't have done the deal unless it was good business for them. Whilst I'm sure having Sawiris about has helped to get Heck to the table in the first place, that's not the only part. He had to get us out of the Castore deal, and then sell the idea to Adidas - whose primary concern is making a huge profit, not catering to the whims of one shareholder (who, big as his stake is relative to others, still only owns a small percentage of the business)

The Adidas deal was the big success-story of the season. After all, it's taken us longer to land them than qualify for Big Cup. A momentous achievement! Thanks Chris!! Go Villans!!!

Are we still arguing about whether the Adidas deal was the tap in or not
Fuck me, what a pointless load pages and posts

I Love H&V for this level of nonsense

If you think that's bad, this period after the Champions League final and before the Euros is going to be H&V GOLD.
