650 million over 10 years. Second in size only to the rags.

Great deal, such a pity its Puma though!

I suspect a transfer ban is on its way so this is rather good timing to spend BIG in the summer before it kicks in.

Not sure - I was surprised to find the FA was investigating it - presumably as no one else is interested?

Doesn't matter how much we earn it's always 'arab money being pumped in'

Whatever happened to Admiral?

Don't ask - someone may resurrect it

I saw a documentary about them couple of years back, eventually going bust as the owner was clueless iirc, some American company appear to have phoenixed the brand identity, lots of 'soccer' teams have them in the US but no football teams this side of the pond.

Personally I never liked their stuff as I associated the brand with the rags

When did Sheiky buy Puma?

Here is the link to the whole documentary

https://vimeo.com/183890738

Real Madrid - 110m (unannounced)
Barcelona - 100m
Manchester United - 75m
City Football Group - 65m
Arsenal - 60m
Chelsea - 60m
Juventus - 46m
Liverpool - 45m
Bayern Munich - 42.5m
Tottenham - 30m

So, how will they spin it to suggest the Sheikh is topping it up. 600 mil from the Sheikh, 50 from Puma.

Great deal and shows our current stranding in world football.

anyone has to be better than Nike.

Bury currently wear Admiral and Wimbledon wore them until last season. I think most American teams dropped them over the last few years.

I would personally wash them if this means we are ending the collaboration with the rags nike gave us this year.

I like them, one and all

Yup, I absolutely hate their lazy template designs that they give every team. Clubs paying them truckloads of money and all they can do is change the colors on a single design
