We have a pretty big fan base and that gives sponsors good exposure, hence why we will get a decent deal, like the Emirates one. Also being in the CL every season helps hence why it is essential we stay there!

The shirt sponsor deal is to my knowledge the second highest out of all the football clubs, only Man Utd have announced a bigger deal and firstly we can't compete with them, secondly the guy who signed off that deal got fired when they realised they got mugged! Liverpool have a £20mill deal with Standard Chartered and again there were rumours that people higher up weren't happy as they feel they are overpaying. We will get a better idea in 2 or 3 years time when the other big clubs announce their deals as to how good ours is but in the current market it is good.
