RANGERRAB 3,510 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 2m spread over 42 clubs ... Google says ... ... actually from the "SPFL" formerly known as SPL website. The CB deal was worth £2M per season nearly 10 years ago. This new Ladbrokes deal is the same apparently. What sort of progress is that? Get this clown Dumbcaster removed ASAP. He is not fit for purpose. Any fool can see that 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The Scottish Professional Football League has agreed a two-year sponsorship deal with betting firm Ladbrokes for the 2015/16 season that will net the league over £2 million per year. http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/aberdeen/1320288-spfl-to-announce-betting-firm-ladbrokes-as-new-league-sponsor/ 2 million a year ? That is a horrible deal. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zappa 0 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Assuming the info is correct, then as der Berliner pointed out, the old Clydesdale Bank deal was worth £2m per year purely for the SPL/Premier League because the old SFL had their own sponsorship deals (latterly Irn-Bru & Bell's before that). So, it would look as though the new Ladbrokes SPFL deal is considerably worse than the old SPL & SFL deals combined. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Rangers in top division = very poor Sponsorship & TV deals Very simples 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,616 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The CB deal was worth £2M per season nearly 10 years ago. This new Ladbrokes deal is the same apparently. What sort of progress is that? Get this clown Dumbcaster removed ASAP. He is not fit for purpose. Any fool can see that As Zappa already noted, the 2m were for the SPL clubs alone, which at the time was still meagre compared to what other leagues got. That said, we were among those who agreed to it at the time, I assume. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,666 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) has announced that betting company Ladbrokes will be its main sponsor from next season. The two-year deal, believed to be worth a little over £4m, includes rights across all four leagues and 42 clubs. While it did not reveal any figures, Ladbrokes said the deal was the biggest of its kind in Scottish football. The SPFL has been without a sponsor since 2013 when the league was restructured. The Clydesdale Bank sponsored the Scottish Premier League until its contract expired two years ago, electing not to renew the £2m-per-year deal. Funds from that were split between 12 clubs. The new deal will result in the Scotland's leagues become known as the Ladbrokes Premiership, Ladbrokes Championship, Ladbrokes League 1 and Ladbrokes League 2 at the start of the new season in August. An "absolutely thrilled" SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster told BBC Scotland: "It is the biggest single ever title sponsorship deal of this nature in Scotland in 125 years of the Scottish Football League. "So it's hugely significant, I think, financially. "It's a deal across the whole of the SPFL - the first deal of its kind - and all 42 clubs will benefit through the ladder mechanism set out in the rules. "On all those levels, I think it's great news for all clubs in Scotland." The new deal takes the total SPFL prize-money fund to £20m. Next season's Premiership champions will receive an additional £268,000 as a result, with the Championship winners receiving £45,000 more. At the bottom end of the scale, the team finishing bottom of League Two will earn their club an extra £3,600. "As much of a financial difference, there is a pride issue here," said Doncaster. "To have a league sponsored with a company like Ladbrokes - a hugely respected blue-chip UK company - who want to sit alongside you and develop the game in Scotland is hugely significant as well. "It all matters and, if you talk to individual clubs then I suspect they'll see it slightly different ways. "But, from our point of view, it's a deal that benefits all 42 clubs and adds to the prestige of the league overall." Doncaster was aware that the SPFL had received some criticism for the years without a title sponsor. "It has not been the easiest time to go out and sell a title sponsorship," he said. "We are well aware of some of the financial issues that have affected some of our member clubs over that period. "But the reality is that we have had a number of big brands who wanted to partner with us. "We have had various offers over the period that we've rejected, but the clubs' stance, which we think has been vindicated, was they wanted to wait for the right brand at the right money." Ladbrokes chief executive Jim Mullen added: "We love football so we are delighted to be working with the SPFL on one of the best opportunities in British sport." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-32720531 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
