Manchester City have agreed terms with the local council over the naming rights of Eastlands stadium.

The Guardian says City will pay just £2m a year to their local council in return for control of the naming rights to the Eastlands stadium, which was built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games with £112m of lottery and public money.

Agreeing that payment to the council allowed City to conclude their 10-year deal with Abu Dhabi's Etihad Airways, for an estimated £35m a year, which includes naming rights to the stadium, the proposed 80-acre training "campus" alongside it, and City's shirts.
