City’s Arab connections pay off again
Man City’s new 2009/10 kit is worth a cool £45million. Next week the club will announce a £30m shirt sponsorship deal with Air Etihad, set to run for four seasons. Umbro will also take over from Le Coq Sportif as City’s shirt manufacturer. That deal is worth £15m, also over four years.
Air Etihad is the national airline of the United Arab Emirates. Ironically, and amusingly, “Eithad” translates into English as “United”. Ho ho.
