Reds sign Chevrolet deal

Liverpool FC today announced they are entering into a four-year partnership agreement with Chevrolet to become its Official Automotive Partner.

The partnership runs to the end of the 2015-16 Barclays Premier League and European campaigns, and includes visibility for the brand at Anfield, Liverpool's home ground; editorial opportunities within the club's print and digital publications and fan sites; and player appearances for commercial opportunities.

Chevrolet is also an official sponsor for the club's pre-season tour, one of the most popular in the world, which has already seen Liverpool play Toronto FC last Saturday. Liverpool will play Italian giants, AS Roma tomorrow at Fenway Park in Boston and on 28 July they will play English Premier League rivals, Tottenham Hotspur in Baltimore.

Chris Perry, Global Chevrolet Marketing Vice President said: "Liverpool supporters from around the world are known for their undying love of their side. Our relationship with Liverpool FC extends beyond the traditional boundaries of sponsorship and is about engaging with supporters. Everything we do will be aimed at keeping them at the centre of the game."

Ian Ayre, Managing Director of Liverpool Football Club said: "Much like our club, Chevrolet has a long, rich history with a growing, global brand and this landmark partnership once again demonstrates the value of Liverpool's international appeal.

"Partnerships with blue chip brands like Chevy will help ensure the long-term growth and success of our club, both on-and-off the pitch. We look forward to working closely with Chevy to help reach and engage our supporters, who are among the most passionate and educated fans in the world."

Big brand.

Manchester United: Chevrolet to be club's car sponsor

General Motors (GM) has signed a sponsorship deal with Manchester United that will see the carmaker's Chevrolet brand become the football club's official car sponsor.

The deal is to run for five years, but no financial details have been released.

The US carmaker said Manchester United stood "head and shoulders" above other football teams.

GM's UK-based Vauxhall business sponsors the England football team.

Chevrolet replaces Audi as Manchester United's car sponsor.

The German brand had sponsored the football club since April 2004.

GM said it hoped the deal would help it "build global icon status" for Chevrolet.

This might be a typical negative response to some people but I hope they don't have stupid car seats on the benches. That doesn't belong at Anfield.

Going after the big clubs. They've just taken over from Audi with United. Wonder if they'll make the players turn up for training in their cars like Audi do with Real Madrid.

And with good reason. It's a fucking seat, I'm sure we'd all get over it if it came to it.

Why, how exactly would it bother you what type of seats they sat on in the dugout?

Another deal added, hopefully one of many more they keep adding which will hopefully lead to the ability to spend more on players.

It all helps, as Ayre says, to be associated with major names rather than shit heel airlines can only be a good thing.

A similar thing happened with Honda didn't it? We signed a deal with them then Honda went down the road and signed another.

Are we taking bets on how long it takes Al to get this locked by turning it into a FSG bashing thread?

The deal could be worse I suppose, it could be with Ferrari

Chopper is on the case.....

I'm more worried about having the same deals in place as those shit-houses down the East Lancs. To me if they sign a deal with Chevy (GM) we should purposely go and sign one with Ford / Lincoln. (Or a decent non-US car maker

).

Yep. They're just cash cows. I wouldn't buy a car based on what football club they sponsor.

I hope Cole's paying to have the damage of him leaning on that car fixed himself and not having the club foot the bill...

The deal makes the club money and doesn't affect the club in any meaningful negative way. It seems like a good thing.
