Kanj Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 If we had Biscioti as an owner, I'd f***ing love it. Smart, successful, and highly ambitious man. This forum would be the best place ever when/if Ashley sells up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tooj Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Following on from what Wullie started - is there anything out there that says how much Sports Direct "pay" us for the large amounts of advertising that they get? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 They won't pay anything surely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interpolic Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 The club probably pays for the signage, so we'll be effectively paying out club money to be associated with such a prestigious brand. Haven't seen any talk or evidence of a penny of Sports Direct's going into the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmk Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Given everything we know about the man who runs both business then I'd imagine that is the case too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 In either the last accounts or the one before that, they had paid nothing but we had paid a few grand for the cost of the red and blue bunting that adorns SJP. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sports Direct's 'payment' for the sponsorship is MA not charging interest on his loan, and until recently in lieu of us repaying the loan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wonga and Sports Direct are our main sponsors. Absolute depressing stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottledDog Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sports Direct's 'payment' for the sponsorship is MA not charging interest on his loan, and until recently in lieu of us repaying the loan. ... and not taking a salary. Not that any of it matters, all that matters in regards to the finances is that we bring in the players we need this window. Fingers crossed, we do. What a shit thing to even be discussing. It's our first game of the season tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor Swift Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Sports Direct's 'payment' for the sponsorship is MA not charging interest on his loan, and until recently in lieu of us repaying the loan. When you think about it this way, it amounts to basically 5-8m a year, which is fair IMO. I'm not endorsing his commercial policy at all, but by not charging for interest, he's 'saving' the club close to 10m a year if you consider what the market interest is these years for corporate firms.

Stifler Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Lets sell all the players who don't cost much but provide some sort of cover and buy no one where as everyone else buys and improves, that can't go wrong. 25 minutes into the season we are 2-0 down, players playing out of position in order to cover and no one up front to get on the end of whatever Ben Arfa produces and it only looks like it's getting worse with Man City not even in 2nd gear.
