Cazoo to replace Sportpesa

[H.H.]

I'm just going off what was said in the papers when I read about cazoo yesterday.

Here is the link

Everton announce new £10m-a-year shirt sponsor with Cazoo in groundbreaking deal

Cazoo - owned by billionaire businessman Alex Chesterman, who previously created and sold high-profile companies such as LoveFilm and Zoopla - will replace the current sponsor SportPesa

And this is the quote taken from the article

It is the biggest non-betting company sponsorship deal the Premier League has ever seen, and sources at the club suggest it will allow them to grow sponsorship revenues, by opening up more avenues without a gambling logo on their shirt.

I did a quick search, apparently Man U got £64 million a year 6 years ago.

Is this not the biggest non-gambling sponsorship the Premier league has ever seen?

Top of my head...

Chevrolet, AIG, AIA, Yokohama Tures, Etihad, Standard Charterer, Emirates.... but biggest Of “the rest”, definitely.

Per season or over the course of say ten?

 

[barneygumble]

Are there any decent rumours about the sleeve sponsor, or when that is likely to be announced?

the rumour is Megafon, which would be interesting.

It said, "In 2014 Man U got £450 million over a 7 year period."

Well then. I have nothing more to say.

Wow and how is that financial fair play, the fat cats get fatter and fatter.

I don't really mind who sponsors us as long as it isn't a gambling company or someone with a dodgy human rights record.

This deal seems fine to me. Only the badge on the front really matters.

Im not really fussed on the brand as such- aslong as we are getting a decent deal.

Yeah I'm aware of their funding. My point is the company has no financial history and we've never been too great with due diligence in the past.

Their first accounts are due next month, I dare say we'll have had a peek at the unaudited version. There's a risk they might not be able to pay the money, but, under present circumstances in the world, that risk is probably not much higher than it would be for many other similar sized companies.

Financially, it's not exactly the most amazing deal, it's OK, but probably no more than a 6/10.

Haha, would be funny having a main sponsor paying 10 mil and then our sleeve sponsor paying 100 mil, with Usmanov claiming the sleeve is the best part to advertise on.

So given that we have the sponsor sorted - when do the new kits go on sale?

 

[ToffeeDevil]

when do we get a kazoo version of z cars

it's a perfect collab, don't @ me

We’ve still got to wait and see what no mark brand they have lined up for the sleeve sponsor.
