Apart from our crowds, everything was so far below where we would naturally be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Jinx Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 These rules which the “top 6” were so keen to introduce wouldn’t stand up to a legal challenge. Its a free market and as long as a deal isn’t just blatantly taking the piss with rules for linked organisations etc, or for example the club owners funnelling money to a sponsor to be just put back in the club, we should be fine with whatever kind of deal we can get. We’re currently way behind a number of clubs in terms of exposure and recent success so what we can get will be limited for now, we break top 6 or even top 4 and then those deals can be drastically renegotiated. Also if it meant a massive injection of bona fide cash into the club, I wouldn’t be opposed to renaming the stadium, it would have to be done in the most minimal way possible though.

geordie_b Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 A metric they would likely use and we normally lead in is how many times your games were televised. More games on TV > higher exposure > higher sponsorship Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonBez comesock Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 Could be we haven’t had premier league approval for new sponsors ? And as it stands it’s still fun88? Unless things change before release date ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 I think we have other sponsors lined up but haven't had the OK from the PL. We may have a season with two different sponsors. Once the new one is ratified, we will bin off Fun88. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 If it’s true it’s likely the deal with fun88 is valid through this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 As I said a few days ago I don’t think Fun88 will let the deal go easily. They’ll want to milk the deal for as much as possible. Was ridiculous to think the club would just bin it off it doesn’t work like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 They'll have it for a fucking steal right now. Paying miles under the actual value. They'll cling on to it for all they can for as long as they can, which knowing Ashley means a long time probably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Fun88 deal runs for this season then it’s very hard to see another sponsor coming in soon or mid-season. The cost of paying off Fun88 would almost certainly make any gains from a new sponsor marginal at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What do you mean, your sponsor is on the front?" Pity it's still fun88 as it's always been a rank sponsor tbh, and considering this is advertisement I still couldn't tell you what their company actually does or where it's from Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
et tu brute Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 (edited) That is so very easy to knock up on photoshop. Thought we would know better than take the word of a fan Twitter account with hardly any followers. Personally I would have posted that tweet in the Twitter nonsense thread.

STM Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 There will be a termination clause, probably that they need to pay a severance fee of some sort. Someone somewhere will have to work put whether its worth doing, based on how much we get off new sponsors. There is also the added complication of not having a CEO through the door yet, who will undoubtedly be the one at the heart of this stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
