New Shirt Sponsor

[matty1878]

Gifting a charity prime sponsorship positions should be allowed to be written off against FFP.. Impossible for us to give it to a charity currently as much as we'd all like to see it.

Why mate

Are you sure about that? They're not without controversy to say the last...and that's besides the obvious point that Cruddas is a horrible corrupt Tory scumbag.

God you are so tiresome at times.

 

[VaguelyBrown]

I agree 100%.

Sadly, there's little chance of that happening with these blood sucking spivs.

They brought the gas man in to make deals with the devil, it looks like.

'The People's Club' my arse.

With very passing day we're going to resemble the LFC Tory Club we've always ripped them about.

You lie down with dogs...

It’s a lovely idea, Dave, and I’m with you in terms of the idea. It’s a beautiful full circle of giving and receiving; we produce on the pitch, we generate income and goodwill, we give it back to the community. It’s perfect, but for one thing…

Where does the money come from? A charity can’t afford the big bucks necessary to finance a deal like that, so what? Do we pay for it ourselves? That leaves us as the most morally upright and just premier league team in history, no doubt.

But also means we’re leaving tens of millions on the table, putting our lifeblood (top level football) on the line. And what happens to EITC if we implode and drop down the divisions? That would be one of the first programs to be cut when the bite was felt.

It’s a wonderful thought, but in the current climate would be financial suicide, ultimately benefiting no-one, least of all EITC. Or so I believe

So boring seeing posts about 'dave'. Block him. Although the forum wouldn't like that.

The current Stake deal worked out at about £10M (and that's probably an inflated figure btw and is nearer £8M) per annum.

That's a third (or less) of the cash we spent on a dud like Barry.

Let's not start believing that we cant do without £10M per season to make a massive statement that brings us a shed load of positive publicity. If we cant operate effectively without another £8M-£10M per year we really shouldn't be in business as a PL club...not if we have any real ambitions.

Dave as you well know we got a points deduction because our commercial deals were crap, we were badly ran, they are improving under the Friedkin group let it lie and stop moaning about everything Everton, CMC it it's them are better than gambling or alcohol, they would in my opinion be a step up with them and give us more money.

Can't disagree with a single word there mate but would have to confess to being a tad underwhelmed by CMC. I'd hoped for a more recognised global brand.

Agree would have liked something like Toyota mate, but even then, something, something car salesman, ****evil, conglomerate Tory ******, Should have went for Bentley , Rolls Royce. By you know who, our resident Hibernian, Socialist, Green, Rangers hating stalwart. "The song, There's No Pleasing You" was written for him.

Quite a variety there.

Zat, are you lining yourself up to become GOT’s Christopher Ward influencer?

New rule on GOT you have to declare interests in the GOT register of accounts.

For a global brand with a certain reach, it makes sense for them to sponsor a club which can extend that reach or break out into new markets. Currently, that ain’t us. The objective is to raise their profile, not ours. (If we’re talking global)

Could/ should be us next season and beyond.

Apparently it’s 50m over 3 years being rumoured. We aren’t in Europe at the moment, you’d like to think there would be added extras if we were to get in Europe

Never heard of them until they sponsored us and havent really taken a proper look at their watches.

I know CMC very well and have some contacts there.

The point of them sponsoring us would typically be exactly as you mention - new markets.

These guys are enormous and dont really have 'new markets' because of their sales networks.

However, being a sponsor of a premier league team would solidify their status in Asia, Africa, middle east and South America especially.

Those 4 regions tend to look at the front of shirt (and other) sponsorships as being reputable.

Look at how Blackwell Global previously sponsored us to tap into the Chinese market.

We need to start competing though yet elements of our fan base see things like the cups as meaningless. A few years of good runs and the bigger name sponsors will start knocking on the door.

Who are they and what do they do?

It's not crypto is it, as that's not even slightly dodgy...
