With the new EUFA financial restrictions limiting expenditure to some sort of proportion of income I'm surprised Citeh are not claiming that Etihad are paying £14Billion per season to have name on shirt.......

And General Motors-Manchester United. Wow! (Ugg) Reuters Manchester United to get $559 million in GM shirt sponsor deal CHICAGO | Sat Aug 4, 2012 (Reuters) - Manchester United Ltd.'s deal with General Motors Co. to sponsor the hugely popular football club's shirts will bring in 357 million pounds ($559 million) over the agreement's seven-year term, the club said in a regulatory filing Friday. Terms were first reported by Reuters on July 30. The disclosure of the record-breaking deal, which will put GM's Chevrolet brand name on the football team's famous red jerseys, came as Manchester United supporters called for a boycott of sponsors' products to pressure the club's American owners to shelve a plan to float the club's stock. Manchester United Supporters Trust, which has 180,000 members, has fought a high-profile campaign against the American Glazer family, which plans to list United on the New York Stock Exchange this month. The agreement with GM starts in the 2014-2015 season, but the club will start to reap some financial benefits as soon as this year, Friday's filing said. GM will pay fees of $18.6 million in this year's and next year's season, it said, before paying $70 million in the 2014-2105 season. GM's payments will rise 2.1 percent each season thereafter, through the 2020-2021 season, it said. U.S. automaker's global marketing chief was ousted in connection with a deal with the popular English football club. GM's payments are more than double the current fee paid by insurance broker Aon. The agreement was announced the day after the Detroit automaker said it was removing its global marketing chief, Joel Ewanick, because he "failed to meet the expectations that the company has for its employees." Sources told Reuters Ewanick didn't properly report financial details about the jersey deal.

I thought GM's got bailed out of receivership by the US Government? Perhaps they would be better off by repaying the US Taxpayers their money back for starters??
