St James' Park

Manager Pardew said: “I’m a romantic. The stadium name hurt me and it hurt the team. It’s one of those business decisions which you can’t get your head round at times as a football person, so to have it back to St James’ Park is great.

 

“I have already said that the same sign should go back up – not a new one, the old one. I am absolutely overjoyed.”

Loan danger: Fury as Newcastle prepare to sign "financial predators" as sponsors

by Which one of you is Simon Bird?

 

Local MP Ian Lavery has pledged to send his season tickets back if, as expected, the sponsorship deal goes through imminently.

 

Lavery, Labour MP for Wansbeck, has vowed to return his two platinum club tickets and break off all ties with the club.

Newcastle shied away from revealing the exact figures yesterday, but Llambias confirmed it was the club’s biggest sponsorship deal, and said that quoted figures of £8million per year over four years of the deal were “not far off”.

 

The Journal: http://www.journallive.co.uk/nufc/newcastle-united-news/2012/10/10/61634-32001249/#ixzz28tAAJYp5

 

Why doesn't he just come out with the figures? Ridiculous. It's basically about around 6m a year which will make f*** all difference to our ability to compete with the top 4/5 clubs, regardless of all the spin about competing with them coming from the management inc Pardew and his 'champions league' quotes.

 

Putting the questionable moral debate aside, it's a very poor deal for the image of the club and it's marketability in England and Europe. No other partners are going to be excited about being part of a 'leper' brand franchise. This deal will do short term and long term damage to the club and all for a couple of million more than Virgin were paying. Ashley has proven to be astute when it comes to managing player wages and general cost cutting and with things like that he deserves credit. But for the long term building of the club they remain self-serving, clueless and gutless.

 

Futhermore Newcastle United have a resonsabitlity to the wider community and should in all cases pursue ventures that add value and bring positive impact to the supporter and the public. This deal does neither. Infact this deal is such a bad message to the city it is almost surreal.

To argue that this deal is self serving etc overlooks completely the argument that the top four clubs have the big bucks sponsorship deals are exclusive to them.  The only way to gain a toe hold into the top four is if you can find a sponsor willing to join forces in trying to gain a mutual foothold in the top four.  If Wonga can help us do that then where is the harm?

How does Wonga even work so fast anyway, is there no clearing time for the bank transfer? It's usually something like 3 working days isn't it? I was reading earlier that apparently Wonga do it in like 6 minutes :lol:

 

They just send Barry and the boys around with the cash.

Faster payments are virtually instant.

 

Yep, despite that the banks still make it 3 days to clear a cheque, process a standing order from one account to another (which in "the systems" are processed immediately) etc etc

 

Nothing to do with wringing out interest on the cash value of course.

 

When I worked for a major utility in my past, the Group Treasury boys reckoned on a good day they could make 30% interest overnight on the cash collected. Add all the cheques banked at a bank together on a given day and know they play with that money for two days before they'll give it to you.

 

At least Wonga are up front about it.

Tbh i'm still over the moon about the stadium name change and am now not arsed who sponsors us.

 

Even if the National Socialist Party sponsored us i wouldn't be bothered seeing as SJP is rightfully restored.

20 pages of championing personal responsibility 'If you get into a deal with a company like Wonga it's your own fault, it's your choice, no-one forces you to' and then when it looks like there might be repercussions from us signing up to a four year deal with a company whose business model is seen as immoral and potentially illegal somehow it's not fair. Yeah, hypocrisy is the word.

 

Just catching up with this thread.

 

Well said, BlueStar. :thup:
