耐克将终止与曼联的球衣赞助协议
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]Nike is ending a 13-year deal to manufacture Manchester United's football kit.[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]耐克将终止与曼联长达13年的[/b][b]球衣[/b][b]供应协议。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]In a statement, the American sportswear company said "the terms that were on offer for a renewed contract did not represent good value for [url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/97296.html]Nike[/url]'s shareholders".[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]It is thought that either Germany's Adidas or Warrior will replace them.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Manchester United did not qualify for this season's Champions League for the first time in 19 years.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The club suffered its worst ever Premier League finish last season after manager Sir Alex Ferguson left following 26 years in the job.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]His successor, David Moyes, lasted just 10 months and Dutch manager Louis van Gaal takes over following the Netherlands' World Cup campaign.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Nike first signed the deal with the club in 2002 and on Monday unveiled a new kit for the 2014-15 season. It will be the last one bearing the Nike logo.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Nike said: "[url=http://www.enread.com/news/sports/97296.html]Manchester United[/url] is a great club with passionate fans.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"Any partnership with a club or federation has to be mutually beneficial and the terms that were on offer for a renewed contract did not represent good value for Nike's shareholders.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"We look forward to a successful final season with the club."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]United's existing deal with United States firm Nike is worth £24m a year. As part of that agreement they were given a period of exclusivity to negotiate an extension and also retained the right to match any other offer.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]But the company has decided against exercising either option.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]A figure of £600m over 10 years has been discussed with the remaining bidders, which would dwarf the reported £31m a season Adidas pays to Real Madrid.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]They have signed a number of sponsorship deals, including an agreement to rename their Carrington training ground.[/size][/font]
