ManUtd gets the insurance

Vodafone had walked out of their shirt-sponsorship deal with 2 years left. That deal was less than £10 million a year. While ManUtd was linked to Mansion (online gambling company) that deal was scuppered due to uneasiness of aligning to a gambling giant. That deal was supposed to be worth about £70 million. That would have beat Juventus' £15 million a year deal with Tamoil (A libyan oil company). Now, Manchester United has announced AIG as its shirt-sponsor for 4 years at £56.5 million. This would be higher than Chelski's £10 million a year deal with Samsung. But Roman can always reach into his pocket for some change if they need it.

What happens to my old shirts now? Does Vodafone pay me for flaunting their logo? :)
