Stuy_O Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Didn't Sevilla make Kanoute wear a sponserless shirt? No fuss and seemed to rectify the situation fine iirc. Is the club / sponsor so set in it's ways that Cisse HAS to wear Wonga on the front of his top if all his teammates do? How long is it since this deal was announced? And here were are with the situation coming to the boil when the players are off on a pre-season tour. No one knows the details underneath all this, at the moment it just looks like another comical own goal by the club and rather childish treatment of one it's players.

Disco Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If Cisse does end up getting binned off there'll be a little PR offensive from the club against him I'd wager a la Nolan, Barton, Carroll, Enrique. Be interesting to see if it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLK Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I believe then if say Man U wanted Cisse but they were sponsored by Wonga then he would have rejected the offer ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Had a good read of the thread since the non flight issue, Cisse using the Wanka excuse as a reason to fuck off just wish he had the balls to put a transfer request in ,he can fuck off for all i care as rats leaving a sinking ship etc etc ,Cabaye next ........... And be left with those 'committed to cause' ie utter crap living on borrowed time like Shola, Jonas and Tiote? Up the Premier League we go. Just a general feeling i have that our better players are waiting for the bids to come in and will be off like a shot as the offers will be too good to turn down ,Ashley sees the get them cheap and sell on as there stock improves with no ambition to build a team to challenge for anything Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like quite a few fans conveniently think Barclays and Virgin are the same as a company with 4 figure interest rates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Shame it's taken him to do what the fans should have done in the first place. We were easily bought on side by the cynical stadium name change reversal though (myself included). Roll over and have our tummys tickled - whether its immoral loan shark sponsors, lunatic directors of football, ugly stadium branding, key player sales. Good luck to him whether its a legitimate moral argument or if he just wants a move. Either is justifiable because the club is a f***ing joke with a passive, weather worn fanbase willing to eat whatever s*** is served. Agree with this - there are far too many NUFC fans who will ignore anything the club(i.e. owner etc) does as long as they can still get into SJP once a fortnight. Nothing will change as long as this happens. More indignities lie ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 The club can't realistically back-down surely, otherwise other players will want sponsors of their choice and Wonga will withdraw their money. Unless the club are willing to find a new sponsor and pull out, which I expect is rather doubtful. If they back down and I was a teamamte, I'd ask if I could have Amnesty International on my shirt as well. Hopefully other players kick up a fuss as well and the club do back down. The club f***ed off Virgin Money without even asking if they would be prepared to match Wonga's offer. Sorry to say it but if people think Wonga is the best we can do then they are seriously wrong. The Premiership is the highest watched league globally, heck even Sunderland were able to get a newly formed charity to cough up a record deal. Which newly formed charity would that be?

womblemaster Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Sense would be to loan cisse out, till we change sponsor. However the club only seem to manage the cash flow on a short term basis. ie they will sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 He's mugging the club and the fans off with his position on this. He's very selective with his take on his religious responsibilities. I don't believe that the club have any other option but to get rid if he won't wear the shirt. I have no intention of buying a top with Wonga on it but then again I'm not buying paid a fortune to do so. On a less serious note, can they not misspell the logo on his shirt so that it reads Wango?

loki679 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 We could have just got a non-cunt sponsor. It's just like the rapey thing, it's not hard not to sign rapists, other clubs do it all the time. We, in our time honoured tradition, just chose the company that would give us the most embarrassment, problems and general shite. We're Newcastle, that's how we roll.

Guest H09 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Won't wear a kit with wonga on because some law that in certain cases legitimises murder, rape, slavery and peadophilia says he can't. Off you trot mate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nufc4eva Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Conflicted on this, on one hand Wonga are a cunt of a business, on another Cisse knows what football is about and that that sponsorship comes in many forms and helps pay his wages. Him not wearing a sponsor makes no difference to Wonga advertising as there will be thousands of fans and the rest of players with the logo on the top. Not worth all the arguing tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezeri Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 If we can get 15million for Cisse then sell him. No doubt he can score some wonder goals but he's sort of too one dimensional player. I'd prefer a target man up front who can hold up the ball while the wide forwards arrives as the lone striker which seems to be Pardews way of playing. Kind of Carroll's style of a player...No player is bigger than the club as the saying goes! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ok this might be me being too positive but a reason for him not traveling could be because he's currently observing Ramdan, a bit pointless throwing him into games into games when he's not eating anything as it will do more damage than good.

Tisd09 Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I know Wonga and Virgin Money are very different in how they do business, however, surely Virgin Money's business would also go against Cisse's religion? For me Cisse is in the wrong on this one if the stories are true. Then again as someone pointed out earlier the club hold some responsibility for accepting such a cunty sponsor in the first place.

Not worth all the arguing tbh It really does though, this is different to there being one less Wonga logo in the ground or one less advertising board up. This is the Newcastle no.9 basically saying "This is a such a bad and immoral company that I refuse to wear their logo" The main reason for advertising your logo in a ground or on a shirt isn't so someone will go "Oh, I just fancy getting a loan out" it's to keep your brand image up for current and future customers. You want them to see you as the number one reliable company, you'll trust a company that you've seen around a lot more than a cheaper company that has no marketing. What will this do for their brand image? It has a lot of exposure for being an immoral company now, it's a disaster for Wonga really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not acceptable for views to be a matter of degree? For example, Cisse things (like almost everyone) that Wonga are a lot worse than Virgin?
