New kit and commercials - (now with added poll)

We'd all love a local firm like Cadburys but why would they compromise their very heathy position by sponsoring us ?  They'd lose loads of custom from blues and albion fans almost overnight.

On the other hand Cadburys are owned by Kraft nowadays and could even Blues and Albion fans go without that fantastic squirty cheese?  I think not.

Change the subject slightly - where will all the extra tv money we get next season go to?

Ireland's wages I should imagine.

An offshore account on the Caymans.

Wickedpedia reckons it's worth £70 million to us over 2 seasons, that's a cracking deal if it's true.

It's the way of the world now.  Gambling seems to be recession proof and their money is just as good as anybody elses.

I doubt if a company as huge as Cadbury would worry what a few hundred Baggie and Sty Dwellers get upset about. ;-)

It won't be close to that. That's just a number somebody made up.

As for the topic of the sponsor, some people would rather have a name that is more fashionable even if it means less money. I really don't get that.

But as we're cutting wages across the squad would we be giving them pay rises from next season?

It will be interesting to know what they paid for the deal.

The company who own Dafabet are AsianLogic Ltd

This is one time we really can blame Paul Faulkner.

What for? - for negotiating the best possible financial deal for the club?
I suppose he couldd have gone out and sold the rights to Villa Park - how does the "The FlyBe Stadium in Aston" sound? Or the "Aston Ale Arena"?

I don't know how much we're being paid for this deal but I suspect PF and Lerner are no mugs at the commercial stuff. We have been crap on the field for three seasons and - like everthing else - it's the on-pitch performance that determines the finances.

Aston Ale Arena does have a ring to it...

I've never heard of them but then again I've never heard of half of the companies who sponsor Premier League teams nowadays. It's not a pay day loan type company so fair enough.

[Stu]

Don't like it, don't care if they offered the most cash. It's probably the only thing I'm a puritanical little Hitler about; there's a lot of people that suffer with addiction to gambling, and the only people that get rich out of it are the bookies. It should be illegal to advertise it in my view.

God, I'm such a boring shite.

What did Genting pay us ?

[villajk]

I'm with others, as long as it's not a pay day loan company I'm not too bothered. I don't gamble and it's not going to encourage me to.  Not that a pay day loan company would encourage me to take out a loan.  My head could be turned, however, if we were sponsored by the likes of Radley.

[maidstonevillain]

WOW they came 21st out of 50 online Casino's. What a coup

They probably share our aspirations to join the Deloitte top 20.
