Training ground renamed..

[we love jez moxey]

It's now "the Sir Jack Hayward training ground, sponsored by Fosun international"
Or "Compton" for short!

 

[Danny's day out]

Fosun International confirmed as official sponsor of Wolves Training Ground
Polite and no doubt gives funds for fair play thingy to stop us breaching it

 

[WolfLing]

Guo on the phone to Jeff this morning.

"Initiate project January spending"

 

[Perton Wolf]

Wouldn't surprise me if something similar happened with the stadium too.

[Surrey Wolf]

good stuff if it helps add more to the coffers

 

[Kashmire Hawker]

A clever little way of getting the coffers full, to get again break the bank in Jan!

Simple extras like this, will do the club the world of good.

We have plenty of toilet cubicles, staircases and janitor's cupboards to rename too. In fact why not find a sponsor for every obscure nook and cranny of the stadium so that we can gain the benefits of renaming the stadium without actually renaming the stadium? It would be a **** take as far as the rules are concerned, but that's basically what we're all about now.

Might be a bit too on the nose though. If clubs are already looking for ways to get us done, I would try not to give them any ammo.

What are the rules regarding sponsoring yourself though when it comes to FFP? Is it ok if it looks genuine, e.g £2m a year to sponsor the training ground, rather than £200m?

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Of course, personally I don't care what either is called.

Has to be done at "market rates" and I thought it didnt count towards FFP calculations, but apparently it can.

the regulations require owners to limit money put into their clubs to bankroll losses. Owners or companies connected to them cannot disguise investment by means of inflated sponsorship deals, so the Premier League, as in Uefa’s FFP regulations, requires such deals to be for a demonstrably fair market value.

I think we could do with a thread on this.........

Who should be sponsored by what?....

Edgy would be glenmorangie, and the Royal society for the protection of Hobbits
Jos would be pampers
Brightside ..Aston Villa
Etc etc
I would be Joe Brown shirts and hunglikeahorse.com

Be honest now, you set that website up yourself didn't you

 

[OLDGOLD]

I haven't even checked if it is a real one.......
I'll bow to your superior knowledge

 

[JadeWolf]

If it helps the club I'm all for it.

 

[Mr Wolf]

FFP is a load of *******s anyway, if our owner wants to give us £100m what’s the ****ing problem?

 

[Knocker Lite]

Roman Abramovich pays 1 million pounds a year for his box at Stamford Bridge.

 

[Superted]

I believe that the club can be handed whatever money the sponsor is prepared to pay, it's just that under FFP only the UEFA calculated "fair value" figure can be used toward the transfer budget.

I know it wouldn't help in terms of available transfer funds but the club still needs money to run itself day-to-day so if nothing else, we'll be financially secure from an overall business perspective.

 

[Flynn]

Back in 2013 United announced a £15m-a-year deal for their training ground sponsorship, which runs to 2021.

If you want to know what "market rate" is, then this is probably the ball park.

Manchester United agree £120m training ground deal

I’m too scared to start typing it in in case the wife has already been on it

 

[Padraig]

“Fosun International will also benefit from a host of other marketing rights including media backdrop branding, LED advertising and static branding at Molineux, digital advertising, access to players and matchday hospitality.”

Access to their own players and hospitality facilities. Very generous of us.

 

[WolfInSheep'sClothing]

I still say we should be renamed Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club Med.

FFP is.

I’ve said it before but it would not surprise me one bit if Fosun were the ones to challenge it in court.

 

[richwolf1973]

Is there any way of finding out how much Fosun paid to sponsor Compton?

 

[JadeWolf]

Tbf Leicester’s late owner was the owner of King Power, who by coincidence sponsor Leicester’s stadium. Think it’s true about Man City and Etihad too? So we ain’t gonna be the first club with this kinda thing.

So that’s where you get your entertainment when Mrs Oldgold is out for the night!!!

Read somewhere that a couple of clubs were hoping to challenge FFP on basis that FIFA/UEFA would run out of money before their owners did.

 

[hollo]

Villa received 4 milliion for sponsoring their training ground.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Even Barcelona are considering sponsorship of the Not Camp.

They were pretty much the last major team to get a shirt sponsors. They wanted to keep the kit pure so didn't have a sponsor until 2006. Even then they only agreed to having UNISEF which they did not receive any money for which meant they didn't compromise the purity of the shirt. I think actually that Barca paid UNICEF to display the logo. Then a few years later they £30m a year was to much to turn down so got Qatar on their shirts. Their current deal is worth. £55m a year.

And now they are giving serious consideration to an offer made for the Nou Camp.

I think we'd have to accept a sponsor for our stadium just to keep up with the Jones' with regards to FFP.

The Anne Summers Molineux has a nice ring to it.

No, but it was also Man City who brought about the UEFA "market rate" ruling because they sponsored themselves massively to get round the FFP rules.

 

[Torcher]

Clubs selling the naming rights to their stadiums, can help with FFP, but it isn't a way around it, as it just doesn't bring in enough money to do that. If United were to sell the rights to Old Trafford, for example, it's been estimated by Duff & Phelps that it would bring in £26m a year, and for other clubs, especially outside the top six it's much less, and of course, if an owner or one of his companies wants to sponsor the stadium it has to be at market value.

So we should be able to get 26m for sponsoring Molineux then, if thats the market value for sponsoring a stadium. If we were to get less it would almost be discriminatory against smaller clubs.

Not really. Old Trafford gets far more media exposure than Molineux so the value would be adjusted accordingly.
