MattJ83 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 MM always seems to be pretty correct. Jez is wondering why you are questionning MM I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phumfeinz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Yeah I know MM has a good track record, I just found it frustrating that he said 'Will be announced today' and then it turned to 'next week' a couple of hours later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmarsha_926 Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 http://www.avfc.co.uk/page/ClubNewsDetail/0,,10265~2068264,00.html Aston Villa Football Club is pleased to announce our new partnership with FxPro Financial Services Ltd, a leading global retail broker in Forex (foreign exchange) markets and CFDs ('buyer' and 'seller' contracts). FxPro will become the club's principal commercial partner from July 2010 following agreement of a three-year deal - the biggest in the club's history. The groundbreaking association between Villa and Acorns - the largest provider of hospice care for life-limited children in the UK - will remain, with Acorns becoming the club's official charity and FxPro making a strong commitment to supporting our joint endeavours. The new shirt for next season will be unveiled on July 15 in Birmingham. "We are extremely pleased and excited to enter into this new partnership with FxPro," said Paul Faulkner, chief executive of Aston Villa Football Club. "A lot of hard work has gone into the completion of this agreement and we believe it will be a good partnership for the club. It reflects our continued growth as a club after a season in which we finished sixth in the Premier League for the third straight year while twice reaching Wembley - competing in the Carling Cup final and FA Cup semi-final. "Equally, we are pleased to confirm that Acorns will be our official charity partner and in meetings involving both FxPro and Acorns a close working alliance has already been forged." Denis Sukhotin, Director of FxPro, is enthusiastic about the new partnership. "Aston Villa are one of the great names in the Premier League, with a following extending far beyond the UK. We are proud to partner with Aston Villa as the club continues to work hard to achieve success." "We will work diligently with our partners at Aston Villa to extend the brand around the world," said Jim Manczak, Head of Strategic Relations for FxPro. "Villa are one of the oldest and most successful clubs in England and we look forward to connecting with Villa fansfar and wide." Reflecting on the ongoing relationship between Villa and Acorns, David Strudley, chief executive of Acorns Children's Hospice, said: "We are delighted to become Aston Villa's official charity partner and equally thrilled to hear of the shirt partnership with FxPro, an organisation which has also undertaken to support us as a charity. On behalf of the children of Acorns and their families, we would like to thank Aston Villa for all they have done for us and continue to undertake to do for us and we wish them every good fortune."

Risso Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Lovely. From a charity to a banking type group. Still always said doesn't matter as long as club is going forward. Not even banking John, some dodgy spread betting/currency speculating concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2010 It is worth noting again that even if this is a pretty big deal by Premier League standards, it'll still not be masses of money. When Spurs agreed their last deal that was (and still was until it ended this season) one of the biggest in the league and that was the nowadays in football terms comparatively small figure of about £6m a season. So it's not like this is going to make us suddenly flush with our cash. But every little helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted June 10, 2010 VT Supporter Share Posted June 10, 2010 I couldn't quite remember the exact figures for Spurs Risso but again, I think people have this impression it's going to be arseloads - it isn't. £8.5m a year whilst it isn't pittance by any means, isn't that much in football club terms is it?

MuleAthon Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Some money > No money. It's harsh on Acorns, but hopefully we'll continue to support them as best we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
