New Sponsorship

[Shaggy]

The booze thing isn't good though - it severely limits our marketing capabilities.

[ningnangnong]

I've always liked Carlsberg as a sponsor.

Too much money involved in sport these days.

Yeah I agree, we need to be looking into something vastly different, let hope G+T can sort this out.

Print back Crown paints!

Exactly. Ther are certain territories where we should be as big as anyone but this Carlsberg **** just stops people buying the products.

We have massive marketing potential, and I disagree with Rafa when he said we will not be as big as Madrid off the pitch. I think we already can match them for support around the globe.

or Candy, thats american

[kurtangle01]

Sony or Coca-Cola or something like that would have been good but Carlsberg is good. The sponsor fits the strip nicely. Imagine we had something like what's on the front of the filth strip? Now that would be bad!

Another joke sponsorship deal

I'm not surprised.

[bazza76]

I'm annoyed about this, and also surprised the new pair have let it happen. To be getting less money than ****ing Spurs is criminal, never mind the millions we trail the vermin and Chelsea by.

Yeah, strange one that, we get far more TV coverage world wide than Spurs, and sell far more shirts, yet they still command a bigger sponsorship.

[Rich]

I do think there is some mileage in "right place, right time" for Spurs. If you remember Mansion were about to sign the deal with Scum, then last minute Scum backed out, leaving a large football sized hole in Mansions Marketing Plans - Enter the canny Spurs chaps.

I would hope that Gillett and Hicks would want to see what they could rustle up before committing to Carlsberg again. We really could do with a worldwide non-alcoholic sponsor so we can sell shirts in those countries where alcoholic or the advertising of same is not forbidden. Plus it would be nice if we could shake a bit more money out of that particular tree.

I think

"The Reds had already decided to renew their arrangement with the brewing giants prior to the takeover of George Gillett and Tom Hicks."

says it all really

Its not done and dusted yet though

[Marshy]

This is fabulous for us and puts us right up there with the biggest deals in the sport. Don't forget we signed a £5m a year deal back in 2001 with Carlsberg and now 6 years later a £7m a year deal - thats an increase of an amazing £2m a year over previous deals - fantastic stuff.

I agree.
Why don't we get some American company to advertise a non-alcoholic product on our shirts....what about Coors Lite?

[Bender]

Look at the wording in thew report
1. LIVERPOOL are on the verge of sealing

2. The Reds had already decided to renew their arrangement with the brewing giants prior to the takeover of George Gillett and Tom Hicks.

[PLY]

Not being funny like , but all this takeover business has warped people's ****ing minds - we're football fans not business heads and everyone's getting moody about a sponsorship deal.

Yes , I realise that more money may equal better players , but I'm sure Rafa will get the backing regardless. This deal is for 3 years and will mean that the stadium will be ready for a joint sponsorship deal with the kits

I only give a **** about being better than Spurs , not richer than them , should we put our ticket prices up to £50+ a match so we can match them in that respect too?
