Even Audi are a secondary sponsor. The head of BMW must be a big 1860 fan. Audi own 8% of the club, BMW tried to get in on it a few years back but were told they have to buy out the shares They pay them 60m€ a year as their secondary sponsor, FFP and all that... Wolfsburg also owned by VW Edit - and when I say FFP they had a 40m€ per season deal until 2025 but recently upped it and extended it to 60m€ per season until 2029, nothing dodgy at all there Edited February 22, 2020 by villa4europe 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure about that? I don't watch TV other than sports, but it feels like every ad is gambling, they even have that separate ad break break after the main ads (just before kick off) with Ray Winston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a renegotiated deal with a 50% uplift seems a lot but City's deals were many multiples of uplifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparrow1988 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Tifo have done a but on Everton‘s deal with them. There’s a little bit about them in it although it’s mostly Everton focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they want to know I doubt it’s worth it for them compared with what the betting firms will pay for the exposure. I’d love for us to take the moral high ground and do a similar thing to Acorns. However I’d love us to be winning trophies and competing for the league/champs league. Unless ffp gets kicked to touch even if the owners were willing to go the charitable route, it just ain’t gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted March 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2020 We won't attract a corporate sponsor until we're regularly competing at the top end of the table, in Europe etc. Anything below that is betting all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 Sponsors only appear on shirts if they want exposure in the regions in which the shirts will appear. Coke have majority market share, so why bother? Pepsi would be more likely. Cadburys probably don't need exposure in European markets and Asian ones probably have their own, unassailable chocolate company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I think it's safe to say the days of charities as shirt sponsors are over. I hate what football has become. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to ban betting companies from football sponsorship. I assume tobacco companies were banned a long tome ago and you don't see alcohol sponsors now, have they been banned? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Aston Villa can confirm that the Principal Partnership with W88 will end following the completion of the 19/20 season. The online betting and gaming site’s deal saw them appear on the front of all first-team kits during the 2019/20 season and their partnership with Aston Villa will come to its natural end. The club would like to thank W88 for their support over the past 12 months. AVFC.CO.UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVFC.CO.UK Would be great if they took advantage of the impending relaxation of FFP rules and went with a morale boosting, worthy sponsor instead of any of the morally corrupt gambling companies. That assumes our owners haven't been made bankrupt by the impending global financial crisis and dont need the income to spend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
