West Ham’s new £20m sponsorship deal raises them to eighth place in Premier League value terms, leap frogging above Sunderland and Aston Villa.
Although it is a big step in the right direction it remains a fraction of what the bigger clubs earn in sponsorship.
1st: Manchester United Chevrolet: 8 year deal worth £315m at £45m per season
2nd Manchester City Etihad 10 year deal worth £400m at £40m per season
3rd Arsenal Fly Emirates 6 year deal worth £150m at £30m per season
4th Liverpool Standard Charted 4 year deal worth £80m at £20m per season (just about to do new deal at £30m per season)
5th Spurs AIA 5 year deal worth £80m at £16m per season
6th Chelsea Samsung 3 year deal worth £41.4m at £13.8m per season
7th Newcastle Wonga 2 year deal worth £16m at £8m per season
8th West Ham Betway 3.5 year deal worth £20m at £5.75m per season
Villa have a deal with DafaBet worth £4m per season while Sunderland have a deal with Bidvest at £5m per season.
The surprising deal is Everton’s 10 year deal with Chang in 2014 which earns them just £1.6m per season.
We’re worth more than Newcastle that would put us 7th and that’s about where we should finish at the moment in the league to.
Well you would have thought that the budget would have extended to 30-odd shirts EMBROIDERED with the new logo instead of a bit of gaffer tape!!!
Laughing stock again, after the XL fiasco! COYI!!
Great news!
New sponsorship deal another sigh that we are heading in the right direction.
I believe the cheap looking background is due to the fact that there are still a number of addidas shirts with the firmer logo on that has to be hidden.
I agree though doesn’t look totally professional! Lol. But I prefer to take the view that we have pulled off a £20mill deal at short notice during the middle of the season!
