At the end of the day it's all about money. If Nike are offering the most then they will get the gig with my blessing. The fact that Nike's business is also closely related to ours (i.e. a sports team and a sports equipment/wear brand) is another bonus IMO.
If Nike were to pay big money to sponsor our new stadium then you can guarantee that they will also be seriously pushing our brand. There are not too many brands out there with a bigger global reach than Nike. If Nike sponsor the new WHL then our club will become better and better known throughout the whole World.

Where have the Nike rumours come from?

I think it may be that Nike don't sponsor a London club at the moment (?) and they're the NFL sponsor so sponsoring a multi-use stadium would make sense, so people are putting 2+2 together.

It comes from a piece linked on the previous page (or perhaps 2 pages ago now). Whether or not there is anything in the speculation I have no idea. It wouldn't surprise me to see Nike replace UA as our kit supplier once the UA deal is over next summer. Stadium sponsorship would surprise me though. I'm not sure that Nike need to attach their name to our stadium to increase their exposure. I would argue that they have the exposure already.

I thought the consensus from the industry was that we wouldn't even start negotiating a deal until summer 2017 (i.e. a year before opening)?

AIA are already signed on till 2020, so perhaps that arrangement will be extended and expanded?

I would be hugely surprised if we weren't negotiating already. The naming rights represent a large part of the funding and, as such, we will already be talking to interested parties to ensure that we have a reasonable estimate that enables us to cost out our other avenues of funding.

We don't even getting planning permission till next Monday though!
I'm sure people are being sounded out, but I doubt anything will be signed until the horseshoe is finished
Levy has said it's easier to get someone to commit once the stadium is actually being built, which means we have to finance it ourselves at first.

I think what he really means is that it's possible to get someone signing for a larger amount once the stadium is being built. I'm sure he could have got someone earlier for a smaller amount. The other factor is the amount. Arsenal got less for an upfront amount, so we can probably get more if we can find the funding independently, rather than needing the deal to fund the project.
