Shirt Sponsorship concern

[Chico Hamilton III]

someone's got to pay these puffed up pricks their 100k a week. I'd rather we screwed some corrupt, tax-dodging multi-national than the paying punters.

Still makes me sick to think of it though.

I'm half looking forward to this "soccer" bubble bursting so we can have our game back

Is there any suggestion that this could happen in the Premier League in the near future? I've not seen any stories on BBC, etc lately.

We already have two sponsors already FXPro and Nike

Add to that FIAT, Heineken, viagogo, 188BET, acorns and Thomas Cook Sport.

[Legion]

Other 'partners' are Floors-2-Go, mbna, Coca-Cola, Harvey Nichols and Crescent Press.

I actually could not care less if I tried

have you tried? Give it a go.

I think there is a rule which states Premier League clubs can only carry one sponsor and the logo of the kit supplier.

The Football League teams have more than one, so it must have been tried.

I think the Spurs model will be what teams do in the future. One sponsor for league games, and one for cup/European games.

They do manage it.  Do you fancy paying well over £1000 for your season ticket though?  Or we could charge less but try and squeeze in twice the number of games a season.

Money is a necessary evil, like it or not.

As an aside though, Barca having two sponsors is not quite true when one of them is UNICEF.

I agree with the UNICEF. If we HAD to have 2, I wouldn't mind having a small Acorns patch on the sleeve or something.

[PaulTheVillan]

We've done loads for Acorns already, maybe helping out another sponsor would be an idea?

Could be worse.  In hockey there is advertising on the ice as well as the boards.  Can you imagine how distasteful it will look if advertisements start popping up in the pitch!
