Gimps Chevy deal about to hit the skids?

Agree with that too, shocking deal, didn't he actually get fired afterwards?

The Glazers couldn't give a shit who's on the shirt as long as they stump up the cash

this, it won't be easy for Chevy to wiggle out of, if that's what they want to do, it's just unlikely they will renew, but we'll doubtless be talking to lots of other people anyway.

"Chevrolet are very clear that the partnership with us is a global one and we both intend to continue this partnership to help build their brand around the world," club spokesman Phil Townsend said.


Thank £#%&! for that...

Should just walk away and find another deal rather than chasing Chevy.

Agreed.

Given the deal is with General Motors they could feasibly put Opel or Vauxhall on the shirt later in the decade.

Have they ever released a retro version of that?

Works just as well through TV as it does in real life

Or simply go the whole hog and just put a green rectangle on the front. Then the TV companies in each territory can add different company logos. A different sponsor for each continent/country/region. Loads-a-money!

Ouch.

However, with the Capital One Cup winners having to enter the Europa League at the third qualifying round stage, United would face a qualifier on July 31 unless they climb the Premier League table to secure a Champions League spot or a Europa League position via the league, which would ensure entry at the Play-Off round stage.

Stupid £#%&!ing pre-season tours are probably hindering us anyway.

Last years did.

£#%&!ing disgraceful what those players had to do in 3 weeks, no wonder half of them look £#%&!ed.

Should've dropped "The Shit @#%&!s" (Young, Smalling, Linda, Ando, Moyes) off at North Korea.

If we end up in the Europa will S.T holders have to buy tickets for the home games as we do with the CL?
I'm not paying to watch us play £#%&!ing Llanelli they can stick it up there gimpy arses

There were rumours that the ACS was going to become 100% voluntary again.

Seems too good to be true though.
