Manchester United have signed a new multi-million pound sponsorship deal with Swiss watch manufacturers Hublot.
The three-year contract comes hot on the heels of similar contracts with Saudi Telecom, Seoul Metropolitan Government and Budweiser.
The deal proves how valuable the United brand has become even during a worldwide economic slump which has seen West Ham's shirt sponsor XL go into administration and the Red Devils' sponsors AIG be effectively bought out by the US government.
While some critical fans vehemently opposed to the Glazer family ownership will continue to insist United's finances are precarious, club officials will point to increased sponsorship as evidence to the contrary.
"We are delighted to welcome such a prestigious partner as Hublot to the Manchester United family," said chief executive David Gill.
"Their reputation for excellence and innovation makes them a fitting and exciting sponsor for the club.
"Sir Alex (Ferguson) is known as a stickler for timekeeping, both on and off the pitch, now we have a partner that shares his passion."
After extending a link with football that also includes the Spanish national side and the European Championship, Hublot have challenged rival companies to join together at Euro 2012 to create a 'Say No to Racism' day.
With a turnover of around £150million, Hublot is dwarfed by some of the multi-national giants who put their names to flagship events around the world.
However, in passing on advertising hoardings at Euro 2008 to the anti-racism campaign, charismatic chief executive Jean-Claude Biver set a precedent he has urged others to follow.
"My dream is for one match at Euro 2012 to be free of advertising and just have the 'say no to racism' message around the field," said Biver.
"We want to educate people against the perils of racism. But it cannot just be us. It has to be the major companies as well.
"When I told UEFA what I would be doing with the space at Euro 2008, (president) Michel Platini said, 'Are you mad? It is what you have paid for'. But this is something I care passionately about."
As part of the new deal with the Red Devils, Biver has pledged to make a donation to the club's charitable arm, the Manchester United Foundation, for each watch sold from its exclusive Big Bang range. |
