New Shirt Sponsor

Tied in with today's Guardian references to FFP 250 years ago:

Premier League champions Manchester City aims to sell the front-of-shirt sponsorship rights currently held by the Abu Dhabi state carrier Etihad Airways, SportBusiness can reveal.

SportBusiness understands that the CAA Sports agency, which was appointed in January 2018 by the club’s ownership group City Football Group to develop global partnerships, is looking to source the new shirt sponsor.

It thought that taking Etihad off the jersey and finding a new sponsor could raise about £50m (€59.1m/$65.6m) per year for the club. Etihad will look for other platforms to promote its brand and is currently seeking an agency to manage the projected change.

Etihad has been the club’s main shirt sponsor since 2009, one year after Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed al-Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi ruling family took over the club.

The current deal was bundled with the stadium naming rights and other City assets in a 10-year agreement from 2011-12 to 2020-21, which has been controversially linked to Sheikh Mansour’s ownership interests.

CAA? As in Creative Arts Agency? Seems yes.

Interesting, as they are know as a huge influencer in the NBA as an agency for players’ “brand” development and creating teams based on those serviced by them.

For £50M a year i couldn't give a shit what colour blue we wore or whose name was on the front. It will be good to put another nail in the coffin of the myths surrounding our accounts and FFP
