Yeah, it will certainly please all of our sponsors, even Adidas.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Chevrolet leave and we sign Varane / Sancho and Ronaldo we will sell more jerseys in 6 weeks than the total sales in the past 18 months

Never been so proud to be an American. We sacrificed for the team guys.
They are happy
Honestly reckon the Chevrolet era was a curse anyway.
Funny you say that, because I think United's performance was epitome of Chevrolet's perception (or at least my personal perception of the brand) after the sponsorship was announced.
To me Chevy are not top quality cars, but they wanted to be seen as such and they spunk a good chunk of money just so they get closer to the top echelon of cars.
And so was United's performance during their Chevy sponsorship days. Big aspirations, throwing crazy money for transfers and under the bonnet we had Fellaini, Darmian, Sanchez, Young, Rojo, etc.
Team Viewer have hit the jackpot.
I actually like the logo. It reminds me of the Sharp ViewCam era.
The Team Viewer marketing department is strolling into the office in slo mo and everyone else is standing and applauding.
Doves take to the air behind them and something explodes in the background.
This. I bet that in some way Glazers are feeling bad now. With Ronaldo they could have got more money from this deal
Great sponsor. Looks 10x better than that cursed Chevrolet logo. That logo represents the worst days.
Mirrored shades, no tie, full open collared seduction mode....
Just like their cars. Reminds me of the old joke about their ads: 'For the last 10 years, 95% of Chevy trucks are still on the road' - the rest made it home.
TeamViewer is overjoyed because suddenly they now have potentially 300m+ viewers looking at their sponsored logo.
In terms of brand recognition this about as good an outcome as they could've hoped for. If we win any major trophies even better, Team Viewer are basically guaranteed to be known world over.
Anyone here got TeamViewer shares in his portfolio? They are on an all time low and I am thinking if that might be a good opportunity…
The season starts tomorrow. Let’s worry about shirt sponsor in 4 years.
Is it normal for a sponsor to announce with 4 years left on the contract they have no intention to renew? Bit embarrassing
Probably understandable when the sponsor has been getting review bombed to be fair.
That behaviour for something so minor is a bit embarrassing.
Team Viewer is a shit remote app that costs way too much. How they were going to sustain giving United millions was always puzzling to me.
Since when do they announce these things 4 years in advance??
Either way, the clubs commercial appeal will absolutely continue take a big hit the more time we go without on-pitch success contrary to what that marketing genius Woodward used to claim...

It can at some big companies. If they got a new long term strategy in the planning or already set, they can release this to the press and/or shareholders. It’s no drama in this. But the press are looking at any angle to hurt us or make us look bad.
Bit strange to announce something that doesn't come into play for another four years
Didn’t the guy who negotiated the Chevrolet deal get fired because of the amount? Or was that a myth?
Maybe by announcing it now, they reckon they can entice someone to buy them out
Is The 1958 boycott campaign working? Did Teamweaver get the message, deal with the Glazers and your fecked? I hope that is what's happened, because anything else makes us look like more of a joke.
What happened? How did we make their shares fall?
Aldi or Lidl for new shirt sponsor
No. It’s because their share price lost 15% the day it was announced due to the sheer size of the deal and has continued to drop. It was a 250m deal and they’re blaming that as part of the reason.
Which suckers will we fleece next?
GM did not do well enough when he were in charge of the marketing. The deal with United was not the reason for him being axed. Numbers under his tenure did not meet the expectations and so they let him go. I did check the numbers at the time and he did not do great like he did with other car brands. He did get fired shorty after the deal with United and some media outlets started to speculate.
GM do love to be shirt sponsors on big sports teams and the VC was delighted with the deal.
So share holders don't believe the company is capable of investing 250M in five years.
All set up surely for the contract to be mutually terminated once we have someone else lined up. This will never last another 4 seasons.
Home Bargains more like.
Their annual revenue is only £420m - I guess they felt spending £50m a year on sport sponsorship (plus whatever they spend sponsoring Mercedes) is pretty crazy and eats into potential dividends/profit.
Interesting that they did not think about all that before they made the deal.
[Narrator] It wasn’t a good opportunity.
