Liverpool, the English soccer club which signed a record shirt sponsorship deal with Standard Chartered earlier this year, has agreed another lucrative partnership.

 

The club will be backed by 188Bet, the online betting company which already has partnerships in place with Aston Villa, Chelsea, Bolton and Wigan. The partnership will last for three years, and is expected to earn the club as much as US$7.5 million.

 

"We are delighted to welcome 188Bet to our family of partners. Their innovative approach to betting will enhance the fan experience, in addition to benefiting good causes through the 188 Foundation," said Ian Ayre, commercial director of Liverpool Football Club.

 

• Liverpool to get windfall worth hundreds of millions
  
• Platini's new measures could hurry Liverpool takeover by Kraft
  

"Given 188Bet's presence in Asia, we will develop a number of initiatives that will mutually benefit our respective organisations. 188Bet has made a clear commitment to marketing their brand through football, and we are looking forward to developing a successful partnership," he added.

 

 

Good to see we're finally exploring all possible opportunities to make some cash.

From the Kraft link in the first post:

 

However, it is the large section of Liverpool's fans currently dissatisfied with the club's owner, George Gillett and Tom Hicks, who have perhaps the most reason to welcome Platini's reforms. Robert Kraft, one of US sport's most respected team owners, has long expressed an interest in taking control of Liverpool, but has said he will not do so while the financial situation in English soccer remains out of control.

 

"We don't want to be a business where the wallet determines what kind of player you have," he told the British press in October, before adding to the New York Times: "At some point in the future there's a good possibility we could be involved.

 

In June, he revealed: "I met with David Moores, who is a fine gentleman , and we came very close to buying it, very close. I wanted to take over Liverpool. If the salary cap was there, we would have done it."

 

Is this American for mug or complete tw at?

His quote makes no sense.

 

The 2 positions of;

 

1) we are really close to buying the club, really close, so close I can smell the scouse pies

2) there's no wage cap so we aren't buying the club

 

don't stack up.

$7.5million over 3 years is not much to get excited about in the grand scheme of things is it?

would probably pay Voronins wages for 3 years

Nah, but we've signed a couple of other deals for simila amounts over the last year or two. 5 or 6 of these "partnerships" could be about as much as the massive main sponsorship deal.

 

Glad to see we ditched Paddy Power too after they paid out on United for the league as a stunt last year.

That's about 4 greeks isn't it

[Tosh]

It'll make up for not reaching the knockout stages

[McBain]

That buys 5 Kyrgiakos

 

Or a better way to use it would be to burn the lot

[Maldini]

It won't be buying anyone now, it'll only be preventing us from selling someone.

It won't be buying anyone now, it'll only be preventing us from selling someone.

 

 

In our current situation I'd take that.
