Right now Arsenal, United, Chelsea all signed with Adidas… only Spuds with Nike.
Of course Nike wants to gain more market share.
If the timing is right, yes, you can play shit football and still get a big contract… but this is passive… when you play good football, sponsors lining up to get your signature.
The battle to be Liverpool’s kit supplier is heading for London’s High Court as New Balance fight to retain the lucrative contract.
Rival sportswear giant Nike looked set to be announced as the club’s new partner from the start of next season after agreeing a bumper deal with the European champions, understood to be worth around £70 million per season — a £25 million per season increase on the current arrangement and comfortably the biggest in the club’s history.
However, The Athletic can exclusively reveal that New Balance are desperately trying to stop Liverpool from cutting their ties and linking up with Nike instead.
The current suppliers are adamant that they have triggered their right to match Nike’s offer and should therefore be granted a contract extension with the Premier League leaders beyond May 2020. But Liverpool insist that is not the case and, as a result, New Balance have filed the dispute at the High Court.
A Liverpool spokesman said: “We can confirm that our kit supplier, New Balance, has commenced a legal dispute against the club. We will not be making any further comment during these legal proceedings
Ash did technically win the Orange Islands as well all those years ago too Still weird to see the change of direction they went with the animation style though
Nonetheless, the moral of the post might also imply that if Ash Ketchum can fluke finally winning the Pokemon League, I guess that probably means Liverpool will eventually end their drought for a League title
Haha, he’s not useless per se, but he always seemed to fall short in every regional League he competed in, not to mention his dumb tendency to give up his best Pokemon for silly reasons. If we compared this to Football, think of him like Claudio Ranieri.
Likeable guy, but spent almost his entire management career never winning a title and then one day, when it seemed like it was never going to happen, the fairytale finally happened with winning the title with Leicester and everyone was happy for him.
Winning that competition, feels like whenever we win the Community Shield. We win it, it goes in the honours, but people debate as to whether it counts as a proper honour or not, which usually most people say no Was still good though
Reading this makes me realise that many of my childhood idols would do poorly if given charge of a professional football team.
Ash Ketchum is literally Wenger. Getting rid of or avoiding getting good pokemon to keep shitter pokemon for emotional reasons. I have to say I was a bit mad that Ash didn’t want to evolve Pikachu into a way more badass Raichu.
