Rumor: Man City looking for new shirt sponsor

We know obviously whatever they pick we will have to wear so...
I'm not sure that automatically stays true once they stop using Etihad to funnel money into their soccer project. CFG might be able to sell sponsorships for more money separately than as a package. Whoever is willing to pay the most for Man City might not be willing to pay much extra for us, Melbourne, etc., and a different sponsor might be willing to pay more for us than they can get as an add-on to MC.
I also would not be surprised if they stopped using Etihad for MCFC, where they can unlock a massive infusion of external cash, while still using Etihad for the smaller teams.
 
I agree that it wouldn’t be the same sponsor. Maybe for a different reason.

I think some Asian company will buy the jersey rights and they won’t care about New York’s soccer team. Something like the China Commerce Bank or something
 
The latest Messi to Man City rumors kind of play into this. If they land Messi they could actually get a sponsorship deal large enough or even larger than their current inflated one.

i find it ultra doubtful that messi leaves. Abidal gets the boot first and a whole FO regime change happens before messi leaves.
