I'm pretty sure the number of hits helps us with some of these deals. Hence all these attempts to get us to log in etc.

Thank goodness, I had been worrying about our apperance in Malaysia for some time.

I think the Tesco's approach is a good one. Every little helps.

Does anyone know how much loot these deals raise?

Don't tell me we're getting an official 'sleep aid' partner - I hope it's holistic.

Going for Chelsea's market

Manchester City have boosted their presence on social media, launching an official page on VKontakte - Russia's biggest social network.
VK is the eighth largest social network in the world and MCFC launched their official account in the same week they are due to play CSKA Moscow in the Champions League, a game that is seen as a must-win after their tepid start in Europe's top domestic competition.
The move is being seen as an attempt to boost the club's following in Russia, where the Premier League is particularly popular.
City have accordingly launched a new Russian language website, as well as a Russian language Twitter account in recent weeks.
Speaking about their increased social presence in the country, Diego Gigliani, Director of Marketing, Media and Fan Development told the club's
official website: "As City's global community of supporters continues to grow, we are constantly exploring new ways to connect fans to the Club, the players and each other, wherever they live in the world.
"Manchester City enjoys terrific support in Russia and Eastern Europe, so to have a presence on one of their biggest social platforms will enable us to build deeper relationships with our fans in the region."
Meanwhile, Chief Marketing Officer for VK, Yaroslav Andreev, said: "We are honoured to not only welcome the English Premier League Champions, but also one of the best teams in the world on to VKontakte."
"We are glad that more and more well-known sports clubs and organisations like Manchester City are choosing VK as the main platform to promote its brand in Eastern Europe. We are confident the Manchester City VK page will be of interest to not only City fans, but football fans in general."

Manchester City's Chief Business Officer, Tom Glick, also shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying: "Healthpoint's reputation for providing the highest standard of clinical and technologically advanced medical care is second to none within the Middle East.

"Healthpoint is building a world-class operation and a centre of excellence in sports medicine that will undoubtedly add value to City’s global network of medical professionals. We look forward to working to together in partnership over the coming seasons.

just had to sit through this garbage United commercial again here in the states. ever since partnering with Chevy there have been 3-4 United commercials that play will some regularity on the sports channels here in the US.

im curious why City haven't done the same. granted, we aren't partnered with an AMERICAN brand like Chevy but still. the opportunity exists. the amount of people over here crazy for the BPL is growing all the time.

It's certainly an interesting question, although I do wonder if the main reason is because our owners want the city brand to be primarily associated with Etihad? From a strategy perspective, if they are growing the airline (which they are, massively) one would assume that the powers that be wouldn't want to dilute the Etihad advertising by having city associated with other products/services.

It does kind of suggest that the Etihad deal IS genuine, and arguably if city are choosing not to pursue other sponsors in the US, it fully justifies why Etihad paid so much for the rights.

I wouid think both Etihad & Abu Dhabi are absolutely gobsmackingly happy with the exposure the deal with City has brought them so far. To achieve the same by other means would be very difficult indeed.

I imagine our invasion of the states starts with NYC.
