great, a fledgling business throwing money around on sponsorship deals.


1) How fledgling are they ?

This time four years ago they didn't exist.

I am being sceptical now thinking the Korean player linked is something we may see more of as a way of increasing the profile of a Foreign exchange trading company - I am thinking similar to Everton being sponsered by a China Telecom and then signing 2 Chinease players around the same time

Didn't Sheffield Wednesday and Southampton have the same kit sponsor for a while?  Sanderson or somebody?

Weren't Rangers and Celtic both sponsored by Carling at the same time? edit - just read Sandman's post on the last page ( weren't they both sponsored by CR Smith as well?)

Wigan and Bolton both sponsored by 118Bet?

Yeah, that'll be a sure fire winner with Martin, and his well publicised love for foreign players, in charge!

Can't see it being a problem.


Because to sponsor only one of Celtic and Rangers would be Commercial Suicide.  I would call it bigotry but I've brought or intend to buy a Triton shower.

Not sure about this. I know it's just a sponsorship deal, but... From a branding perspective it seems we have gone from being unique in the league to being chucked in with a team that we fancy ourselves as being a tier up from. Jars a little bit.

Fulhams website is cack.

Any club with a neutral zone shouldn't be allowed in the FAPL.

Yeah, all that "people getting on with other" and "watching football matches happily".

What sort of monster came up with that idea?

Aye, I agree. It doesn't change anything and it's probably a bit elitist, but it has annoyed me a bit.
