Quote ="Roddy B"It is, I'm not sure if the record is worldwide or just in Britain, but it still exceeds the dross Rick Parry had us earning.
I think this deal has something to do with the New Balance connection. If you look at how some things have panned out, like LeBron James getting a minor share, it's clear they try and cut deals using all of their assets. So it wouldn't surprise me if, when the Red Sox signed their big deal with New Balance, NESV also got in there and got Liverpool in there getting a big deal.
When I see us getting big sponsorship deals like this, it makes the prospect of building a new stadium believable, IMO, as it seems we are an even bigger prospect to investors than I first thought.'"
Ever hear of too manty cooks spoiling the broth?
As for the Utd deal nike paid £122m for the first 6 years then upped at an agred price of £303m untill 2013 which is £23.3m per season. Unfortunately Old Trafford holds around 30k more seats than Anfield that is the gap your club need too fill and yes you need a new stadium but how much woud that cost to build? Would it be long term meaning an extended period without success (maybe surpassing the 26 year mark) or short term with the fan being priced out to cover the costs ala Arsenal (yes i know they haven't won anything)?
As for the reds how does everyone feel about the Glazers lowering the ticket prices for the Tampabay Bucs by 30% because of the ressesion? Lucky that the Bucs have the Wembley gae this year so can see one hell of a protest at that game
