I have never had a bit of information before but I wanted to share, no matter how irrelevant it maybe!
An ex colleague I know works for a fashion brand associated with the club. A new association as of this season. Senior members of the squad have felt that this association has caused a distraction to the whole team throughout the season, as it is a high end and well known brand.
One senior player flat out refused to be part of a piece of media that they were doing for the brand earlier in the season. They also cancelled multiple senior players being part of a promo at the point we were trying to salvage the season and the club had to provide a legend instead.
Not sure how much impact it has actually had but thought I would share.

Is it Diadora?

It has to be Tommy Hilfiger.

Tommy Hilfinger.

FSG milking any possible corporate angle. They used to rent Jurgen out for 1m to school CEOs.
The Hillfiger stuff reminds me of men in white suits. Champagne Charlie drivel.

The Spice Boys, that went well for us.

Is it Fruit of the Loom?

Anyone remember when football was a game?

Yes, WDW, I remember. But I have to accept that it is now a business, first.

Football is a business, and we need to generate revenue somehow if we want to buy the players we're all salivating over. FSG has never pumped in or loaned money to the club to buy players. They only do that when it comes to improving infrastructure around the club.
All players we bought have been with the money we generated in the first place. And with the inflated cost of players nowadays, these kind of things have become more of a necessary evil imo.

Fair comment @ArAy, it's just that sometimes it would be great for it to be a game - like PSG vs Bayern last week.

A guy in our local market used to sell "Johnny Brubaker" jackets. Looked exactly like the real ones. Just spelt wrong, haha.

Got to be Lonsdale, pure quality, but I thought only the blue half wore it.

Few years ago I bought an Adidas T-shirt at a US flea market. Made up with the price, till I opened the pack and it read Adiaas. ??

Got to be Benetton.
