"Our shirt sponsorship deal with Northern Rock will also expire at the end of this season, which presents would-be sponsors with the opportunity to acquire both the naming rights and shirt sponsorship deals."

"Our shirt sponsorship deal with Northern Rock will also expire at the end of this season, which presents would-be sponsors with the opportunity to acquire both the naming rights and shirt sponsorship deals." Puma apparently need to know the sponsor seven months in advance to be able to make our shirts Also, doesn't the Puma deal expire at the end of this season?

AyeDubbleYoo Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 It's obviously going to be Sports Direct, if it's anything else I'll be absolutely amazed. In a good way, but still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Barca face up to the economic climate by selling their shirt rights for the first time, after decades holding out and then giving it away for free to UNICEF. We, meanwhile, after decades of bringing in much needed money through selling the rights, decide to give our shirt space away for free, ostensibly to keep it free for whoever buys the 'package' of stadium and shirt rights. It's not just sentimentality vs cold hard financial reality. Mike's plans are bad for the club in all possible ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puma must be signing a new deal then, definitely sounded like they were doing the shirts next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be crazy if they did as I think the number who wouldn't buy it would be a hell of a alot. That's not to say they wouldn't use http://www.soccerscene.co.uk/ instead so it's still his brand but less fans will know it's his. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but then the logic of renaming the ground or plastering it with SD logos doesn't make sense to me either. I just don't think Ashley cares about the bad reaction locally, his eye is on the international exposure for his brand. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting logos up all over the stadium doesn't stop many fans from turning up and good results on the pitch gives him the exposure. Losing shirt sales costs him cash which he doesn't need to do.

Spider Jerusalem Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Can see this being Sports Direct a mile off. We have a deadline of one month to get a new sponsor in - these wankers couldn't get a replacement striker in nine fucking months with £30million. The loss of sales of shirts will be out-weighed in his mind by having Ashley's only concern being advertised all over Europe, the Middle East and Asia whenever we score a goal, all at a cost of fuck all to that business.
