Levy's "problem" is having a Jewish surname. So when he doesn't spend enough money to satisfy the moaners, they see him as tight. For the Elfsborg game, I was lucky enough to have an invite to the lounge at the top of the East stand. Walking round the stadium I was struck by what an extraordinary achievement the new stadium is. Daniel Levy's individual vision, to create and then project manage the construction of a world class stadium. Do the "Levy out" phalanx have any acknowledgement of the achievement? Of course there have been windows when he has failed to spend as he should have done, and equally his decision-making has been off in terms of hiring and firing managers, but commercially he has been brilliant. Hopefully the new Directors such as Munn and Lange will help us get back a high-achieving team.......
Have you seen details matter to that crowd?

Hardly game changing money, can see why we're not really interested in a naming rights deal.
No I know that - I was just saying that a non related business sponsoring us would get the reach through the footballing events on top of the non footballing events where we would only be benefiting from the reach from the latter.

not the need for it but questions around how long its taken - we've got the crowds, we've got beyonce and NFL so is it the price ? i believe we've changed the head of sponsorships along the way too

Originally it was the price. There was an offer from a multi national financial services company at close to £15m a year but Levy valued the rights at closer to £25m a year.
I think Levy realises that ship has now sailed, with us no longer looking like being a regular Champions League club and the Super League now being off the table. I think the rights are now being kept as it is likely to make a sale easier and/or inflate the price of the sale of THFC.
Not sure you are allowed to use stadium sponsorship names in continental football tournaments? Don't Arsenal & Dortmund use different names when in Europe?

Agreed, if we had a sponsorship deal with Hooters / Walmart then the Qataris won’t buy the club and vice versa.
Or they may buy it for £500m less. So the £10m per year becomes moot.
A strange thing about humans is they will negotiate about a club being worth £3.1b or £3.3b or £3.5bn and yet still quibble over whether hot dogs should be sold for £3.70 or £3.90

Not the point.

It isn’t - but if the Qataris come in well, we are looking at an open door here for the cash cannon.
And we will have the cheat clubs like City setting the market rate at many multiples of this particular deal…
