Wasn't £1m the amount we missed out on Lille's valuation of Debuchy by? We could have had Man City's money in the bank... i doubt they'd have stumped up the cash for Debuchy, however nominal the difference was between ours and their valuation.

Talking finance is irrelevant, as it has very little impact on the pitch. Unless of course we are talking mega bucks from sponsors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heake Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Was "reliably informed" they didnt have the budget for both shirt & Stadium sponsorship (based on Lambias aspirations of what he envisaged they would yield) I also had Jimmy Saville down as a bummer.

madras Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Yet they were ok to wear virgin money which charges interest etc ? If it was a player in Peta I imagine they might have put up with Tesco even though they sold meat, but might have reservations about being sponsored by Huntington Life Sciences why ? I've always saw that argument is more about tactics than ethics. More chance getting result against the latter than there being any real ethical difference.

Dan Gleebals Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The deal with City have with Etihad is worth £35M a year for 10 years, that was before they won anything. I know there are ownership links but still, our deal seems very low compared to others in the league (City just an example). Not a great deal at all IMO.

Guest Phil K Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I really don't care about any of it because it makes very little difference to us. It was always St James's so they never really renamed it. It's not the city or the fans that are dealing with Wonga, so it doesn't hurt our reputation, just the owner. The money won't be invested in the first team. The money that is invested in the academy is irrelevant, if we dont know how much it costs to run an academy in the first place. When Wonga leave, the whole thing will be forgotten anyway, in fact people will forget it a week into the new season. Oh and the moral issue, some aren't happy with us "making a deal with devil". Was it better advertising alcohol? Which also tends to pray on some of the vunerable in society. Or how about Northern Rock, which was a source of embarrasment? A load of hot air IMO.

That Etihad deal is a farce so nothing can be compared to that. I think £8m is around what arsenal get off Emirates for shirt sponsor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Why has the British Muslim Council not taken concern with previous sponsorships? Betting companies, alcohol producers, companies like Standard Chartered? Did they advise all their muslim players to refuse to play in the Carling Cup last season?

There's no issue with us buying Northern Rock tops or Virgin Money IMO. Morally and ethically what Wonga do is wrong (charging inflated prices). It's all a matter of perception........
