Turkish Airlines rumoured to replace Samsung

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Fly Emirates is awesome, turkish airlines just isnt. Hence the ''turkish'' word. That wasnt meant offensive to turkey, but we aint no turkish club. I dislike having qatar, turkish, azerbaijan etc sponsor on our shirt. Looks out of place. Unless they offer us similar contract as Chevrolet did to ManU. Then I will take such sponsor too.

You realize that "Emirates" is a country as well, right?

Fly Emirates is actually quite classy, obviously when you look at it you think of that particular part of the middle east.. but it's not as BLATANT and vulgar as 'TURKISH' airlines.

this is exactly what I mean, most here should be fashion critics rather than football supporters. Who the fuck cares what logo is on the kit? Or if Jose wears a suit? or what number a certain player wears?

If Turkish Airlines want to give Chelsea FC a shit ton of money to advertise on the kit so be it! You think Utd are crying over the 50m a year Chevy is giving them?

What is wrong with Turkey?

You seem to have a personal dislike for them. Dodgy kebab?

It's not personal, I'm against any other 'country' advertising itself on an English club's shirt so blatantly. However, a concession could be made for UAE, since it's very much 'in trend' right now, if countries were products Dubai would be a Ferrari and Turkey would be a Nissan Sunny.

There's been an international break and this is an off-topic thread, if you don't want to discuss 'aspects' of it, don't participate.

I remember when Hazard asked for the number 10 during the 'off-season' and the same guy got mad because people were discussing shirt numbers. Never understood why people BURST into threads and start saying things like "Who cares".. if you don't care, don't post.

Oh I do want to discuss aspects of it, like how much money we'll make and whether or not we can see some sort of discount being a member of the club. Everything else is laughable... If we're negotiating with them its because they will give us the best deal possible.

The aesthetics of a shirt that costs £50 is important to some fans, so yes.. it's a valid discussion.

Never understood that part of peoples psyche on forums when they see a discussion, and they feel they have to declare in an obnoxious way that they "Don't Care", just don't post then.

Are you not going to buy the newest kit because it has Turkish Airlines on it? LOL The badge always brings me back... Like I said earlier if Walt Disney sponsored us and the logo of the ridiculous looking castle was on the front I wouldn't care because the club's survival goes way beyond a fashion statement... For me at least.

Never understood someone trying to understand the psyche of an open forum.

[Term-X 7,891]

"The Clubs survival"?, Pssh.. oh please, this is Chelsea not Wimbledon, get a grip.

So a shirt cost £50 - manufacturing cost and their cut. So let's say £30 profit per shirt

Samsung give us £14 million a year.

Lets say Turkish Airlines give us £40 million a year.

To make up that difference we would need to sell 900,000 shirts.

Turkish Airways give us £40 million and 100,000 people don't like them and don't buy a shirt that year and only 800,000 buy shirts. That'd give us £64 million. £24 million extra a year and a few fans that are unhappy...We're a business under strict financial rules that we have to meet and also compete at the top level.

You may care about the aesthetics, the club do not.

People will buy the shirt because of the badge. Sponsors won't make a big difference.

I truly believe Term-X is a brilliant troll. It's all starting to make sense to me now
