New shirt sponsors comingour way?

[growler]

Lots of stories this morning about Carslberg put on warning regarding sponsorship. Not surprising really, when the mancs have just secured 80mil for 4 seasons from an insurance company in this climate.

 

I always thought Carlsberg never really took advantage of our relationship. I imagined an ad something like this:

 

'Carlsberg don't do cup finals, but if we did, they would be something like this...' cue the clips from 2001 UEFA cup and and FA cup finals, the 2003 league cup, 2005 final and 2006 FA Cup final.

 

'Carlsberg and Liverpool. The best partnership in the world. Probably.'

 

Would have helped them and us. LAzy gits.

 

I assume a new sponsor would be someone with potential to also sponsor the stadium too?

 

Any suggestions, other than Coca Cola? Don't like the idea of Virgin... What about RBS? :-)

KOP Holdings?

From Carlsberg's point of view that would be a shocking waste of their money.

And a good way to alienate s*** loads of their current customers

We haven't maximised our contracts with Carlsberg for many a year and have really missed out on bigger deals that would have extended our budget for players.

 

Its long overdue that we move into a partnership with another company. We need to maximise our standing in the game and get the best deals available.

Always thought it was a rubbish sponsor anyway.

 

and they're responsible for making green a viable colour for our away kits aren't they?

I think it might well be :

Why do you say that?

Hope it doesn't end up being Walmart. Know nothing about the other lot.

The GMR group were interested in buying Liverpool not that long ago. GMR is owned by Grandi Rao who also owns Dehli Daredevils cricket team. I read somewhere that they never walked away and I'm just guessing they/he could be back with an offer for the shirt sponsorship, or even the stadium naming rights.

Wal-Mart was just one of the yanks' buddies.... it's got to be a company with s***loads of cash.

 

Samsung or LG is other alternatives...

LOL, Bascombe again.

[Walrus]

Why would Wal-Mart want to advertise in the UK/Europe/Asia? Isn't it a chain, which predominantly operates in the US?

Yep. They own Asda. That's the face of Wal-Mart in the UK. Wouldn't fancy that on our shirts for £100m a year because I am a snob.

Yup...

[smithdown]

That last one is class, fyds

 

[mally]

[Ed the Wool]

Watch it be RBS. G and H get 70m off their debt.

[psl]

It should be YNWA. We can get £80m together can't we?

[stressederic]

What are the odds on United using the Ronaldo money to become our new sponsors?

[theredfella]

 

That would be class.

 

They're also about the only company I could stomach having the naming rights for our new ground.

[fyds]

That'sprobably a good bet

Gravy will refuse to chip in

[DonRafa]

Chips n gravy, mmmmm yummy

Aye, it'd be dreadful, adverts with Fernando patting himself on the a***.

 

Wait...I've changed my mind.
