I'm pleased that we are on friendly terms with all of our sponsors. Good business practice.

Yeah you keep thinking that champ

Any Company that values their money will stay away

 

[Art Vandelay_]

City fans just dont want to admit that there club has **** all value to non friendly companies

Frankly, who cares?

OK

 

[Magma]

didnt the glazers have something to do with AIG when they were united shirt sponsors?

hedge fund or something?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Frankly, who cares?

City fans since they like talking about how they broke FFP.

Lets face reality, a club winning the lottery is as unsustainable as you can get.

OK

Good effort, maybe city can one day be a club that is honest and fair

 

[Magma]

yeah, manchester united's history is littered with being honest and fair

just how many you had for australia day?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

Well i can say my team does not support human rights abusers.

But city fans find that an uncomfortable truth to deal with.

Pep was always for freedom but he sold his soul to devils.

Against what Barca and Ajax stood for.

Manchester United matches attract almost 52 per cent of the Premier League’s entire global TV audience according to exclusive Sportingintelligence analysis of the latest industry data and separate internal United figures prepared by independent experts.

This highlights how important United are to the league, and the weight of any theoretical claim they might have to a greater share of the Premier League’s TV riches.

There is no suggestion United want a greater share of TV cash.

They have not floated the idea, unlike Liverpool’s Ian Ayre, who attracted massive criticism recently for doing do. He clarified that Liverpool wanted more money from collective sales, not to sell their own overseas TV rights.

Sources close to United’s owners insist they abide by collective rights selling and also by the principle that a league that broadly splits its income is a stronger league.

But the data and the analysis unequivocally shows United as the Premier League’s main draw.

As discussed elsewhere on this site today in an analysis of the SPORT+MARKT report, many of the live games on Sky in the UK – where by definition the League has its core audience – attract fewer than 1m viewers each. Many ‘minor’ games involving less fashionable teams will have barely any audience at all – if they’re even screened.

Separate data prepared for United by independent consultants puts United’s global cumulative TV audience for a season at 2.424bn people – or equivalent to 51.8 per cent of the Premier League total.

This equates to United matches each being watched by around 64m people on average – a significant increase on the ‘average’ Premier League game. Again this includes live coverage, replays, highlights and clips on magazine shows.

If all 20 clubs in the League were equally attractive to global audiences they could expect 10 per cent share of the total TV audience – because two teams play in every game so two sets of fans consume each game.

Several industry sources have told Sportingintelligence that United’s position as dominant attraction is clearly defined. ‘United are the No1 club by viewing by a very clear margin,’ says Kevin Alavy of Future Sports + Entertainment (FSE, an arm of leading international analysts Initiative) whose firm collates accurate, verifiable data from sources such as BARB and Nielsen.

‘Across many years it’s clear United have the biggest share of the Premier League TV audience,’ Alavy adds. ‘The SPORT+MARKT report and our own research no doubt use slightly different methodologies but their totals don’t surprise me. United having a large share of the global figure is entirely in line with what we know.’

have we gone into the sun book of cliches?

Pep was always for freedom but he sold his soul to devils.

Against what Barca and Ajax stood for.

yes, yes we have.

keep em coming, having a good laugh at the bleeding heart here.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

hahaha what does that even mean? hedge fund or something?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

have we gone into the sun book of cliches?

So human rights abusers are a ok if it benefits a football club?

Sound logic that

 

[Magma]

so basically this is just another united dick swinging we're bigger than you lalalala rubbish as per usual. excellent stuff.

So human rights abusers are a ok if it benefits a football club?

Sound logic that

i dont think that logic is at all sound, but that seems to be the one you've automatically jumped to.

i merely find all your presumptions about someone you don't know on the internet very amusing.

hahaha what does that even mean? hedge fund or something?

aig managed hedge funds owned by the glazers when they were taking over united and as shirt sponsors. along those lines i dont recall the specifics.

 

[moomba]

Well this is awkward.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

You and moomba got shitty about the reality about your football club.

But it is hard to acknowledge that without human rights abusers city would be in league one

 

[Magma]

we got shitty? so you are allowed to take clueless, baseless, completely fabricated shots are the club we support and shouldn't respond? and when you get proven wrong you just pretend that you were right all along?

no wonder this forum is in the pits, honestly.

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I would be happy if city fans just admit the truth.

Etihad over pay because they are related to the owners
The owners are utter campaigners
FFP was a good idea to stop unsustainable ownersship (every other club has no issue with it)

 

[Bojan KantKick]

cookie is on a roll here

 

[moomba]

Is Sportsbet running an early book for 2017 Melt of the Year yet?

 

[Stan_Darsh72]

I can admit that Edwards is a campaigner, the glazers are money grabbers, Chevrolet make shit cars .

Nissin do make a fine cup noodle though

11/10 would recommend

 

[Magma]

no, it's not
what have sheikh mansour or khaldoon ever done wrong?
fulham, southampton, west brom, villa, swansea all voted against ffp

more lies and bullshit.

who would've thought that the bitters would ever become those in red? more obsessed with us than their own club. sad in it's own highly amusing way.

well a lot of people have knowledge about it. some can do more than others about it.

if it comes out that either are directly involved in the problems that face the country, then sure. but until then, im not going to type furiously onto a forum going on and on and on about it. unlike some.
