FBS

[Nick]

Well it’s a bit like the FSB but hopefully different. It’s not betting at least but it’s close in many ways...

 

Nowhere yet coming out with the value of the 3-year deal...

 

Also surprised there is the name of the platform plus a strap line/ sub head - ‘trade online’ is that normal, new or even allowed?

wonder how much the deal is worth? Has to be at least 10 mill per year, which is roughly the value of the deals Everton and West Spam have.

It's a massive step forward, especially if the rumoured figures are true. King Power has served us very well as sponsors as it's helped not just give us financial stability but also been a big part of our identity especially since the title win. Top being dragged onto the pitch to celebrate last week feels a bit like the culmination of that in a way - everyone knows about us and who we're owned by now, and why it's so ****ing special.

 

This represents a ****ing huge step forward for us financially and commercially.

 

And personally I quite like the logo - simplistic and design continuity from the KP brand.

Just reading the comments on their Instagram post about the deal.

 

Their poor social media manager’s trying their best, bless ‘em.

I was really the Prince of Punjab would be our sponsors, oh well maybe next time

Everyone seems to be forgetting that we play at the King Power stadium, with branding for said company all over the place. 

 

I don't know the ins and outs but im pretty sure there must be some rules in place about owners sponsoring their clubs and how much money can be put in through said ownership.

 

Stepping away from King Power as our main shirt sponsor will, and probably has, poured a lot of money our way, money the owners may have had, but we're unable to give us because of FFP. Outsourcing new investment is probably the only way we can move forward financially and bridge the gap from us to the supposed big, or rather rich, 6. 

 

Wouldn't surprise me if naming rights on the stadium were up for grabs within a few seasons. It's the nature of the game these days and we have to try and keep pace if we are to keep progressing

It very much is betting. CFD trading is a betting instrument.

Can't find it now but some people have suggested it *could* be around £100m for 3 seasons.

that would be amazing. The only thing i managed to find last week quoted 36 mill total over 3 years but was an unreliable source.

I wonder what Walkers Crisps was back in the day? These numbers seem like next level figures.

Year's supply of Quavers per player probably.

£600,000,000,000 a month 

[HankMarvin]

 

 

Main sponsor: Tourism Authority of Thailand (Premier League), value unreported, signed, 2020, expires 2021; King Power (domestic cup and European games), UK£4 million (US$5.3 million) per season, length unreported

 

Everton signed a 10m a year deal in 2020

Chelsea 40m per year 3 year deal in 2020

Thaibev signed £600,000 sleeve 3 year deal in 2019 with Leicester 

 

Southhampton signed £1.2m in 2019 with Virgin media 

Then in 2020 Sportsbet.io, UK£4 million per season, signed 2020, expires 2021

 

So Southampton charged double for Sleeve Space then a year later got a deal that was only 4m a year. 
 

30m a year seems wishful thinking and it it was a ground breaking deal surely the club would announce it as it would push up the cost of other sponsorship deals

[Jimbo]

If it's £100 million over 3 seasons then that puts up on par with the "big 6" 

 

It's around what Spurs make per season and not too far off what Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool get (I say not far off, still around £35 million less over the course of 3 seasons)

 

As ever though, I tend to think someone has seen some figures somewhere and got something wrong. It's probably something like £33 million OVER 3 seasons as opposed to PER season for 3 seasons.

 

If it is, it put us on par with Everton, West Ham and ahead of Wolves, Southampton etc

 

I'm sure I read somewhere that the King Power shirt sponsorship was only worth around 4 million a year, so to jump to around £11 million a year is a significant jump, and still represents a good amount of money coming into the club.

 

I'm not saying it's definitely wrong, but I just can't see us getting a £100 million sponsorship deal, certainly not if it's only 3 seasons long. I'm leaning more towards the fact that it's a £33million deal for 3 seasons rather than £33million per season.

The TrustPilot reviews of this lot are horrendous.

Can you elaborate?

 

I have never heard of them but the more I do I feel uneasy. I'm not particularly a fan of the logo anyway but just feels iffy now

[ian__marshall]

Anyone heard any rumours of Top losing £100m a couple of weeks back on their platform?!?  

[Paninistickers]

Seems a funny old how-do-you-do. 

 

FBS appear to be owned by Tradestone Ltd in Cyprus. I'm assuming that is some kind of shell company for tax and /or regulatory compliance (lack.of)....as the dude who runs Tradestone,  Christos Koukarides-  appears to be a well heeled accountant but certainly not a fella who wreaks of an ability to finance a 100m shirt deal.

 

On another note, 'tradestone' sounds all a bit Jason Bourne to me...

Lots of 1 star reviews with details of people having problems with dealing with them and accusing them of being scammers, balanced out by a lot of 5 star reviews that look extremely questionable. 

 

They have 3.2 out of 5, for example Trading 212 have 4.2.
