And cue the Messi-to-Chelsea rumours haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amblève. 4,995 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ignoring the fact that it's a DM article...A big "no" from here. As one of the biggest clubs in the world we simply need a shirt sponsor with a brand as big and well-known as ours. Turkish Airlines, with all due respect, simply doesn't fit the bill.

Turkish Airlines, with all due respect, simply doesn't fit the bill.I guess it depends on how much Turkish Airlines is willing to offer per year£13.8 Million per year from Samsung isn't enough...considering the other top 4 sides are getting 20+ million per year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hopefully get them on board as an additional sponsor but to have them replace samsung on the shirt, would look odd. Put it this way, United got away with spending 160M this year because of their revenue and money generated from various sponsors they have. More sponsors the better, FFP has a loop hole.

Beepu 1,714 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I love the simplicity of the Samsung logo, it fits well with the shirt and not distracting. But the money from Samsung is not comparable with other big club sponsors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyikolajevics 2,703 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 "Bigger fish" and "better brand"? What do you mean? If Qatar Airways is good enough for Barca we can put up with Turkish Airlines. What brand would you prefer? Pampers?Also, I think a little red patch would look great on the blue shirt.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I really doubt that. Didn't we just this year start the new contract with Samsung that we signed last year or the year before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 They can sponsor out training kits. With FFP, we should look for such a deal as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cchuka 99 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm very happy with the change. I always felt the Samsung logo was a bit domineering. Especially with the popularity of their phonesWhile on holiday, someone told me they liked my Samsung shirt. I was livid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZOS 580 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 can't believe Arse, City and Liverpool earn more than cfc on kit sponsorship our next sponsor better fork out >30M/year, who ever it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
