Exactly.
I've been banging this drum for a while now.
But some people refuse to see the inevitable consequence of UEFA's and the Premier League's so called Financial Fair Play rules.
It will mean only one thing - that the really big clubs will only get bigger and leave the rest ever further behind. FFP will, in fact, apply the final coup de grace to genuine financial fair play.
United can sign such a deal because they are already so huge. Other than Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, I can't believe that many other clubs would be able to persuade a commercial partner to sponsor their training ground and training gear at all. The few that can will earn peanuts by comparison.
Spurs will do well to get £10 million per annum for their stadium naming rights! And we get a maximum of £15 million per annum for our proper shirt sponsorship. We are so far behind the likes of Man Utd in this respect, it is laughable. And we are far, far better off than the majority of clubs.
And make no mistake, Utd have barely scratched the surface of their commercial potential. Along with the remainder of European football's elite, they are laughing their arses off at having persuaded UEFA (and the Premier League) to adopt rules that will prevent their hegemony from ever again being threatened by upstart clubs with wealthy and ambitious owners.
