Polo7 3,496 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 So most members didnt want Turkish Airlines (best airline in Europe) but are ok with a tyre manufacturer from Japan LOL. OK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK...What's wrong with being a tyre manufacturer from Japan? Would you say no to Bridgestone too only because they're a tyre manufacturer from Japan?

Blue-in-me-Veins 4,067 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Im reading the same, damnit whats taking so long to announce whoever the new fucking sponsor is?! Anyways, does this mean we will have both Qatar Airways and Yoko? If so, that'd be brilliant..may the company willing to shell out the most $$$ win!

Thendo 1,088 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Where have this Qatar Airways suddenly come from? Haven't seen anything about it. Id rather have Turkish airlines than them tbh, altough it obviously depends on the money involved aswell. Hopefully it will be Yokohama tho!

pHaRaOn 2,131 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Whole thing about Qatar Airways is stupid Twitter rumour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHOULO19 24,332 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Qatar Airways rumor seems to have originated from Twitter. Can't find anything solid about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Term-X 7,891 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 So most members didnt want Turkish Airlines (best airline in Europe) but are ok with a tyre manufacturer from Japan LOL. OK.... Turkish Airlines is two words, takes up more room on the shirt, less blue.. Yokohama sounds better than 'Japan tyres', do I need to explain how that applies to Turkish Airlines for you?. Turkish Airlines use Liverpool's bird logo and plenty of red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike 12,049 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 I've always thought Yokohama is a city. Had no idea there was a company with that name. Anyway, the logo looks much cooler than Turkish Airways.Yokohama is a city. It is in central Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel1980 1,425 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yokohama is a city. It is in central Japan.I know it's a city. That was exactly my point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Fong 2,776 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I'm also surprised the lack of popularity of Yokohama here. I guess here's not many petrol heads then. Anyway, not a bad sponsor to have, many thanks to @We Hate Scouse for the exclusive info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dy-lan 142 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Crazy how many of you haven't heard of them LOL Ive had their tyres on my cars multiple times lol. In an ideal world is like to stick with Samsung (if they matched the payout) or honestly I would prefer Gazprom too. But Yoko isn't bad, and looks like they'll be paying us a decent figure.

Jype 6,398 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Good looking logo, an excellent payout if it's anywhere near the rumoured £40m mark and not by any means controversial like City or PSG sponsors. No idea why some people are still not happy. Just because it's not some super trendy brand like Apple or Google some would have creamed their pants for doesn't mean it's not good.

Fulham Broadway 17,333 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Couldnt give a monkeys which corporate we're gonna prostitute across our sacred shirts for a wodge of cash. Realise its a million pound moneyspinner, (kettering were the first in the uk with Kettering Tyres), but with billions from TV revenue, clubs dont need it and is greedy and fucking ugly imo.

BlueLyon 9,359 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Just generaly wondering why dont we make a big deal with Gazprom, considering we already are partners and Abramovich has russian connections.I knew Yokohama before, but its rather small company but it doesnt matter as long they fork 40m per year. Btw how will they manage to give us 1/3rd of their year income for several consecutive years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Btw how will they manage to give us 1/3rd of their year income for several consecutive years?Their revenue is $5 billion a massive amount will be for marketing. Their profit level is so low because they have been massively expanding over the past few years, particularly in the USA. Now I'm guessing it's Europes turn.Gazprom is hugely controversial. The company, the politics, the owners, the history. It could get really nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Whilst I do not mind the company, the name Yokohama will forever remind us of one of our most embarrassing defeats. Also as a German I don't like the city particularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
