New Shirt Sponsor

[chrismpw]

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.

An excellent idea. When Barcelona finally relented to ruining the aesthetic of their proud shirts to advertising, they had Unicef as a sponsor.

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...

Jesus Christ you are one OTT cock end at times.

The practicality of that is that they are hundreds of millions of euros in debt.

When they had UNICEF as their main sponsor they were at their peak, admittedly they overspent on players but what they could of commanded would have made a dent into their debt.

I love the idea of a charity on our shirts but in reality if we’re going to compete we can’t hold on to idealism

Sad but we are where we are with the modern game

Can we not get the dog food company Winalot?

It might have a psychological effect on the players.

Who are they and what do they do?

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

They're a global financial brokerage.

Offices in Europe, Australia, Canada, Singapore etc etc

When it comes to crypto, they also offer digital assets.

Not really sure what you mean by crypto being "slighly dodgy" many highly regulated firms offering and investing in it now.

If you use a tier one global bank, theyre in crypto

And also important to factor in the real reason that is was Unicef for a couple of seasons. Having made such a big deal of “we don’t dishonour our shirt” for many years, giving it to a world renowned charity wasn’t some grand gesture. It was clearly a gateway move to remove the taboo element, and start charging Spotify or whoever countless millions.

Which is fine, modern game, business and all that, but I imagine that the romantic twist on everything Barcelona do must drive Espanyol fans round the bend in a similar way to our “Socialist” red neighbours ability to build world class teams without spending any money whatsoever

Agreed but I'd question the "at times".

With added advantage of giving a bit of bite in midfield.

Another great contribution from a clown. If you cant talk about shirt sponsorship deals without resorting to that I suggest you just GTF.

Why mate

Because FFP has made football clubs into business who have to be within certain financial thresholds, making it next to impossible for a team to reject millions of pounds of sponsorship a year.

Stake moving to sleeve sponsor next season according to Matt Hughes (Guardian)
