Everton in £8 million Chang deal

Premier League club Everton Football Club agreed a new shirt sponsorship deal with Chang Beer that is the most lucrative in the Club's history.
The new deal is worth up to £8 million over three years and extends the club’s existing shirt sponsorship arrangement with Chang, which runs out at the end of the present Premier League campaign.
It marks the second time the Thailand based company has renewed its association with the Goodison club and represents a 45 per cent like-on-like, year-on-year increase on the previous deal in real terms and reflects the growing stature of Everton within the Premier League and on the world stage.
Everton CEO Keith Wyness said: “We are absolutely delighted to be able to capitalise and build upon our existing relationship with Chang. The scale of this new deal reflects Everton's success on and off the field in recent years and also represents Chang's faith in the Everton name.“The strength and quality of our partnership, as shown by a nomination in the prestigious Hollis Sponsorship Awards in 2006, is of great value to us as a Club. Indeed, the strong understanding we have forged with our friends at Chang is mutually beneficial and we will continue to work together to ensure we remain one of the Premier League's finest partnerships.”
Somchai Suttikulpanich of the Thai Beverage Marketing Company Limited, on behalf of Chang Beer said: “The close co-operation between Thai Beverage Marketing Co Ltd and Everton FC in the past four years going on fifth year is the basis for the creation of a number of worthwhile projects beneficial to the Thai society as a whole and to the Thai football community in particular that has benefited from the transfer of technical knowledge and international football tactics.
