Care to share the superior deals inferior teams got?
It's not even a long deal, ours. It's 6 years. 2016-2022. Half the kit deals out there for major clubs are in the area of 10 years.

His comparing us to what the top 4-5 clubs in the Premier League get is just dumb. It doesn't matter what their results are, their kit deals are going to dwarf ours because of the marketability of that league. All one has to do is look at the TV deals. I'm sure the Ronaldo signing and the increased visibility from it shall help us in negotiating our next deal/renegotiating this one in the next couple years.

F.e. Milan Adidas deal back in 2013 for 20m per season. Or Arsenal Adidas deal in 2019 for 82m (?) per season. If you had to guess where Juventus, serial Serie A winners and European protagonists, land in 2016 compared to those 2 has beens, would you really go as low as 23m? Thats underwhelming.

You should not compare to Arsenal. It was signed yesterday.

Ours is like 28 per year plus extras. But that was signed in 2015. So it would be dumb for me to compare it to subsequent Chelsea or Arsenal deals.

I wouldn’t depend on that.
It will definitely help. It already has. The visibility of the league is sky-high compared to the last few years. What's more debatable is how much it helps long term. It will help Juve commercially with marketability for sure.

What's more important is other teams getting their shit together. Roma getting their stadium built and stopping the revolving door for their top players would be huge for the league too. If that happens, alongside Ronaldo, and one of the Milans gets their shit together the league should be in a pretty strong position in 3-4 years.

Depending on Milan and Roma to figure shit out is a little worrying though.

That’s a lot of if’s. The only thing true is that Ronaldo plays for Juve and people want to see Ronaldo.

Right now, Serie A and Juve are like that brand new heavily marketed restaurant. Everyone is checking it out, but will they still be interested 6 months from now and will the fan base grow? That’s up in the air.

Pretty sure Roma's stadium has been approved and is being built for the 2020-21 so that should be a major help for them on every level. Marketing, financials, sporting, etc. Considering the city, Rome, the feasibility of them developing into a top club should easily be there.

I don't think there's any argument that Serie A (namely Juventus) fanbase will grow with Ronaldo. He's the most marketable and popular athlete on the planet. Assuming he stays at least 2 years, that's a huge boon to Serie A any way you look at it.

The bigger question is post-Ronaldo and will the rest of Serie A use his arrival to start getting their shit together.

Again. Aside from the Ronaldo bump, which is happening now, that’s a lot of maybe.

I don’t want to kick the wind out of anyone’s sails. So I won’t. My point of view as an outsider is that the situation is more complex than people want to believe at the moment. While a positive move has been made, it’s not a fix all. I’ll leave it at that.

Im not saying it should be the same as Arsenal, imo it should be more in the middle of Milan (2013) and Arsenal (2019) deals like Bayerns kit deal is, which was also negotiated in a similar time as ours if im not mistaken

Tell us how you would have entered negotiations with Adidas or Nike etc, and what you would have said to them that would’ve got Juve a better deal.

How would you explain to the kit provider that sponsoring Juventus would grow their brand to the same extent as Bayern?

What numbers would you put to them? How much money would Adidas/Nike make from being Juve’s supplier?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you’re not qualified to say you got fucked on the shirt deal.

Do you know the answer to those questions for Spurs?
I understand what you're trying to say, but the way you said it is like saying if you don't train with the team, don't watch every minute of every match, or are not a pro footballer or a class A manager you can't say your teams' tactics are fucked up. So football forums should all die.

Of course I don’t know the answers in relation to my own team. But I wouldn’t be calling our board ‘a joke’ if our deal was in the region of what comparatively marketable teams were getting.

And this is different to critiquing football tactics or on-field play, which is far more transparent. We’ve also all kicked a football about and watched hundreds/thousands of football matches - how many of us have negotiated a commercial contract?

We can offer evidence and reasons as to why tactics don’t work, or why this or that formation is better in certain circumstances. It’s very hard to do the same sort of thing with commercial deals, of which we have very little insight or information on which to make a judgement.
