By next weekend.

You should be out of CL and League effectively

So your chances of trophies would lie in the FA cup and Carling Cup. And August never finish ooo

Europa league still dey there nah. Besides whether we leave Champ's league in 1st round or leave quater finals, same thing (asides the money) .

With the size of our squad, me I won't mind us opting out of competitions at this rate.

One of the advantages of being a 'top' side.

Manchester United struck a training-kit sponsorship deal on Monday, the Premier League champions saying they believed it was the first such agreement in English football.

United said they had agreed a four-year contract with express and logistics company DHL. While the club did not give exact details, a source with knowledge of the deal said it was worth 40 million pounds.

That is more than the Old Trafford team received in the early 2000s from a shirt agreement with Vodafone although it is less than the 80 million pounds media reports have said their existing shirt deal with insurance brokerage Aon was worth.

United won a record 19th league title last season and their on-field success has been matched by strong commercial revenue figures.

In May, quarterly financial results showed there was a 30 percent rise in commercial revenue compared to the same period the previous year.

"This deal breaks new ground in the English game," United chief executive David Gill said in a statement.

"We are delighted DHL has chosen to pioneer training kit sponsorship with the club. Their global presence and international standing are a perfect fit for the world's most popular football club."

DHL, part of Deutsche Post AG, will see their logo appear on training kit worn by first, reserve and youth team players.

Chief spokesman Dan Johnson said the Premier League was not aware of any other English clubs having their training kit sponsored but added the national team had a similar deal for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

United host Tottenham Hotspur later on Monday, seeking to build on last week's 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion in their league opener.

Atleast we have chances of trophies if that happens, shey ?

^^ Not really about being a 'top side' - its about being commercially savvy.

Liverpool's shirt sponsorship is nearly four times ours - I don't think anyone would claim they've been more of a 'top' side than us in the EPL era.

Oh shut up you muppet - Arsenal has more worldwide appeal than Liverpool, it simply hasn't been tapped to the same extent.

The biggest club in the biggest city in the UK has more appeal than some has beens from the North West.

You've got to have a brand/name to sell first nah?

It doesn't make sense paying top dollar to have your company on Arsenal's kit at the moment. There're atleast 3 more rewarding exposures available in England at the moment.

That is why clubs scramble to have their names on Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern while the likes of Arsenal scramble for crumbs

Bayern Munich and Deutsche Telekom AG are to continue their successful partnership into the future.

Europe's leading telecommunications company has extended its commitment as main and shirt sponsor of Germany's most successful club by a further three years until 2013, the companies announced at an event on Tuesday at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

The annual sponsorship fee is believed to be around €25 million, outstripping the deals English giants Manchester United and Liverpool signed earlier this year, though Bayern general manager Uli Hoeness said that the deal was "strongly performance-related

Bayern Munich has landed the biggest lead sponsorship deal on the planet: £25.5 million (€25 million, $37.3 million)a year from Deutsche Telekom, whose T-Home brand adorns the Bundesliga team’s shirts. The deal — which runs through 2013 — puts Bayern atop BNET’s Global Football Sponsorship Deal League (see below), vaulting Liverpool F.C., Manchester United and Real Madrid, who all cut new deals this year.

You now see that when we say Arsenal would be the most popular club among retards, the argument has a lot of substance

debosky:

arsenal have more appeal and it hasn't been tapped?
excuse me, mr retardo. . . . .how do you tap appeal?

it's either the appeal is there or not. arsenal as a brand must be shitty. . .if it's valuable, investors will find the brand no matter where. . .
liverpool are a bigger brand than arsenal. . . .that is a fact unless you are a brainless gaynner.

The biggest club in the biggest city in the UK has more appeal than some has beens from the North West.  

the biggest city in england is manchester, not london.
the 2 clubs combined in the north west have 37 league titles between them . . . .i urge you to add up all the other clubs in the country to that of london and you are nowhere near 37.

coogar:

excuse me, mr retardo. . . . .how do you tap appeal?

By going on tours so people can get closer access to the brand beyond just being on TV or going to Austria every year.

By cancelling outmoded deals signed in 2003/4 and renegotiating better deals now, like Liverpool did with Carlsberg, like Chelski did with Fly Emirates.

it's either the appeal is there or not. arsenal as a brand must be shitty. . .if it's valuable, investors will find the brand no matter where. . .

Investors want a clearly defined unique selling proposition - if this proposition is not made to them, they will not sign on.

liverpool are a bigger brand than arsenal. . . .that is a fact unless you are a brainless gaynner.

I disagree - the valuation of the respective clubs disagrees as well.

the biggest city in england is manchester, not london.

You are either a dimwitted unicellular organism, or London is no longer in England, or 12m is less than 0.5m.

Clubs approach investors for sponsorship most of the time - that is the work of the commercial arms. It makes little sense for a big sponsor to approach Arsenal at the moment when Emirates dominates exposure so much at the moment.

In 2005, a Brand Finance survey revealed that Manchester United at a brand value of £197m, Liverpool a value of 156m, Chelsea £137m and Arsenal a brand value of £115m.

considering arsenal haven't won a penny since 2005, how then do you have a more valuable brand than the scousers.
liverpool have more followers than arsenal. . . .forget your mates in ojuelegba posing to be arsenal fans. they are unofficial.

It still baffles  me so much how Arsenal rank so high on Forbes biggest sport franchise
Ranked way above much more notable team
wonder the basis of their measurement

God! Wenger is so pathetic

“We are never afraid to take a gamble,” said Wenger. “But to buy a player is always a gamble anyway.

So take the f[i]u[/i]cking gamble anyway, after-all it's not your money. We all know signing players is the same as playing casino, the only difference is you use your personal money at the casino.

“I look at the players and if they are good enough. People forget we have bought players - Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jenkinson, Ryo - and you will see over the season they are top-quality players but at the moment we have to give them some time.

Let me put the 1st sentence in familiar way: When we see a good player, we will buy.
Yes, we need to give those players some time, maybe 3years from now. I thought you started building the team some years ago oga WenGAY, just like Dayokanu will say type.
Oh I get it, the foundation isn't solid enough so we cannot continue building. let's continue solidifying that foundation or better-still find a new land.

“Yes overall we will buy. Maybe people feel I am stubborn, but I am not, I just want to do the best for the team and buy the right players.

please shut-up already and do something, action speaks louder than voice uncle Arsene (better-still baba ijebu as they call you on Nairaland).
People may feel you're stubborn? We don't feel you are, you actually are and how long did it take u to realise that.
Thank God this time around we don't get to hear: Vermaelen and Rosicky are like new signings.

“If I have shown one thing in the last 15 years, it is that I have brought in good players.

Yes Monsieur Wenger everybody know you've brought in good players.
You brought in the ones that could go a season (49 matches in total) without losing a game and those that could not win sh1tt in 6 seasons.

“We will bring as well experienced players. People just say 'buy' but it is to buy the right player which is difficult.”

We've heard you, now you can start buying the right players. You don't have to wait for people to say 'buy'

Stop screaming yourself hoarse - we have finished in higher league positions than Liverpool in almost every year since then, we've appeared in more finals and had more CL appearances.

The fact remains that our brand value currently exceeds Liverpool's - I have given you three independent sources to verify yet all you can come up with is a 2005 reference.

Shirt sponsorship deals are only ONE measure of the brand value. Besides, if Arsenal were to sign a fresh deal today for shirt branding, rest assured it would easily equal Liverpool's if not exceed it.

Consistently rated higher on the Forbes list and on specific brand-valuation lists and no one has provided anything to contradict that evidence.
