LukakutoStamford 779 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I would be saddened to lose Samsung for some ugly looking sponsor shirt. Right now ours is good looking. The past couple years Man U had that terrible shirt and this year the Chevy logo looks great. As a side note, you have to be a prominent brand to sponsor one of the major clubs. Now maybe for a Burnley it can be a smaller company trying to get noticed but to get on the front of one of the big boys you have to have a very deep advertising budget. We Americans are not at all used to the idea of sponsors on jerseys. Only the poor minor sports resort to that here like Arena Football. All of our major sports have never used this and I don't see that changing any time soon. As trivial as it may seem I believe that this doesn't help endear American fans to club football. We are barely used to stadium sponsors and most dislike that greatly and in a lot of cases refuse to call the stadium by the sponsors name.You're in the minority re: United shirt. It may just be my disdain for Chevy, but I think United's new shirt looks terrible. No sponsors on the jersey's yet in the U.S. I think that has to do with the commercials for baseball, basketball, and football that don't exist in soccer. I don't mind the 3rd jersey changes. I'd love to see something like Belgium's home world cup jersey for Chelsea, but instead of a crown outline have a lion outline done.http://image-load-balancer.worldsportshops.com/Images/watermarked_thumbnail.aspx?img=65544&photoNum=1&t=I&catalog=SoccerFifa&w=600&h=600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There didn't used to be long commercial breaks in American sports either. Baseball games were 2 hours long as well. It was the broadcasting companies that demanded it in exchange for the fees. Basketball was an even shorter affair with it never taking more than 90 mins. Then they put in mandatory TV timeouts in basketball and football and continued to stretch the breaks between half innings in baseball until people started getting bored with the pace of the game and it has declined. I wonder why the rest of the world went the other way. I actually would prefer to have the game not be slowed down and take the sponsors on the shirts but I don't see how that helps the broadcasters who pushed the commercials to begin with........How do they collect large TV fees for the EPL etc with so little adverts?And yes, that would look amazing as you described it......

Ripamaru 8 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Considering audi already has some partnership with chelsea, it could be realistic Try to forgive me for not being around as long as most of you and thus being ignorant of some things. I am fairly new if you read the new posters threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Ironic that the biggest ever spending by a single club in a transfer window and all the big money moves in Spain came after the FFP coming into function.Goes to show how easily the big clubs manage to go around the system.

FFP only stops you from spending what you don't have. If you have big revenue coming in you can spend all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was like I said, just spend what you earn. Platini made it clear from day one. You can spend an immense amount of money just as long as you make it via revenues.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think this whole idea was used because cases like at Monaco are happening, playboys buy the clubs then after a couple of years bin it because they are bored. However actually it really isn't helping the smaller clubs like many have said. In a way I actually like this new rule especially now with our club finding a way around it with the loan system.With or without FFP, Barca, Real, PSG...etc would still have spent around 50-100m anyway, now it limits them down a bit. Real Madrid actually has to sell now instead of keeping players in the squad(Di Maria, Alonso, passing on Falcao). If they had it their way they would still spend 100m without needing to recoup anything, now they had to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 How much is Chelsea's army of youngsters on loan costing the club? It's actually earning them millions That's what I have been saying for months however he has explained it better than I have.Some people think we are brainlessly stockpiling young players when it couldn't be further from the truth.Every now and again we will find a Coutois case, meaning we will effectively sign a £20m plus player for free, and others like KDB and Lukaku who aren't quite good enough for us (or didn't fit the system) get sold and fund for players that are.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thought that Abramovic and Gazprom will make some sort of bypass of Ffp with giant contract tbh. We all know Roman and Gazprom are close and sure they could make something. In that case we wouldnt even need that big contract from main sponsor.
