New Everton Stadium

CMGI

Google say they pay £7.6 m a year for a 15 year deal for the New England Patriots ground. I wonder who may be a significant, (but not THAT significant) shareholder.

Do they have naming rights of the Patriots stadium though? Think they just call it Foxborough Stadium

A Tech firm is the leading candidate? 'The Elon Musk Stadium'

The identities of the companies are not known but it is believed that a tech firm is the leading candidate to take the branding rights.

That tallies with recent comments from Everton CEO Denise Barrett-Baxendale who wrote in an open letter to supporters last Friday (23 December) that two new partners relating to the stadium would soon be announced.

Knowing us, it's Theranos. Bill agreed because he hopes they can make him live forever so he can maintain his vice-like grip on the club.

They used to sponsor it. It is now called the Gillette Stadium. I've never heard of CMGI but apparently they were massive during the dot com bubble

USM were going to give us £30 millions a year on top of the £15 millions they paid for FF.

Putin has ruined this club.

Interesting. It’s one of them things I’m not fussed on giving up. As among fans the stadium will always be referred to as BMD

Would that have been in line with market standards though? I read Bayern/Allianz is only £6.4m p/y. Are deals like this not reviewed as part of FFP?

Only if there is a potential link between the two companies. So City I believe had their sponsorship audited aa they had shared in both companies. Or something along those lines.

If a company incoming has no tie to the club, then they aren’t limited to ‘market rate’ although you’d have to then wonder why overpay?

I also think being a new stadium the name will be synonymous with whoever takes the rights.

Buying naming rights for somewhere like Old Trafford, Anfield or Goodison doesnt make much sense as fans will always refer to it by their original names whereas BMD doesnt have that problem.

Probably the FTX stadium. Mosh and Kenwright paid SBF bail bond in exchange.

Thought they paid £30m for first dibs but no confirmed value on annual sponsorship?

Can we get a sub on these naming rights deals and spend it next month to keep this shambles up.

Aye but rumours from those in the know suggested it was 30 millions over 10 years (think the DM went with £25 millions).

Either way we're down near £15 millions from FF alone and likely another £10-15 millions for BMD which is massive really considering our financial situation.

We needed to be holding oot for at least £20 millions for BMD imo.

BangBros keep trying to sponsor Miami Heat arena, maybe it could be them.

The only party stupid enough to commit to a naming deal as things stand would be this Everton board.
