Guest ovesbar Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Sports Direct as kit sponsor. Its been talked about. That will 100% happen. No it will not. It does not make sense to use the shirts as free advertising when you can sell it for 10m + and get "fresh" money into the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

themanupstairs Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 From an aesthetic point of view, they better not use that shoddy white background for the SD logo. It better be f***ing elegant and professional looking, unlike all the marketing for that godawful brand. From a supporter point of view i'm livid that the signage is being tampered with. That signage represents the raison d'etre for the whole f***ing shindig! I'm all for owners exploring different avenues to make the football club a viable business, but for f***'s sake...test the waters first!! See what the supporters think!! Let them be part of the decision making for something like this! No need to flex your muscles! We know you own this club, but be a bit more sensitive, and you may get the backing to do what whatever it is you want to do! As much as I agree, for a business perspective why bother asking when it's pretty obvious the fan response is going to be 'don't change it!' Yes but he'll see the level of agreement/disagreement, and will at least give the fans the illusion that they have a say in things. The fans must feel that the club belongs to them, even if it's sentimentality, it's still what all fans feel toward their club the world over. With a bit of dialogue, one side may be able to convince the other of their point of view. Not asking him to consult the fans over transfers or choice of manager etc. But this is something that won't make that much of a difference to SD, but could make a huge difference to the fans, or vice versa. He should ask because a compromise could be reached that would keep both sides of the coin happy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dell Boi Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Doesn't look that bad there ^ I don't think it will end up on the shirt anyway, surely a sponsorship deal is worth too much to keep it in house. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the kit will happen, they will know that very few people would buy anything with Sports Direct on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 They go on all the time about cost-cutting but are we making any effort to attract outside sponsorship. I bet our revenue from sponsorship has dropped hugely since Ashley took over. Is that deliberate or are they simply unable to attract sponsors? If so, why is that? Outside the top 4/5, our matches are broadcast more than any other clubs presumably because we attract bigger audiences so surely that should make us more attractive to potential sponsors than other clubs. Al;though having said that, the stature of the club from when he took over is decreasing with every year that passes. If we are continuously pleading poverty when deliberately ignoring potential sponsors to provide free advertising to SD, then that cannot be right. However, the club is Ashley's toy and he can so what he wants even to the detriment of NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 I've heard that its under discussion for next season. If that is the case then I hope that factor in the possibility of shirt sales plummeting, I wouldn't be seen dead with a shirt with Sports Direct on the front and I doubt I'm alone in thinking that way.

Geordie Ahmed Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Yeah I simply can't see him going for Sports Direct as a shirt sponsor, surely even the Fat Man is not that stupid?

It could have easily happened when Ashley took over but there's a reason it hasn't. Ashley could have named SJP into [email protected] when he took over. He could have sold the best players when he took over. He could have stripped in a chinese restaurant when he took over. Says nothing what he's done and what he's not done so far - he can do it when he wants and he probably wants to do it next season. No one knows, probably he doesn't even know it himself. I think he'd rather use the shirts to advertise even more for his company than getting little money (someone posted the money we get from northern rock) of some company.

NG32 Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Fuck off man ashley cock suckers, he is raping the club. Several years for his plans to come through.

The man and his gimp are a pair of wankers, you can keep on making excuses for these cunts but they keep on doing the same things over and over again.

Spider Jerusalem Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 As far as I wouldn't put it past him to use Sports Direct as the next shirt sponsor, I can't see any manufacturer taking on a deal under those terms as they wouldn't want to have 95% of their shirts unsold.
