Qatar is everywhere

[Milan 17,854]

Last week Qatar got the World Cup and now some institution from Qatar will be Barcelona's new sponsor. Barcelona! A team that in its history never had an advert on its shirts - remember UNICEF etc. Barcelona will get €30m per one season.

Absolutely superb deal for them, it will probably help them stay on top for the next decade.

For the rest of the world hopefully it'll reduce the amount of the self-loving Mes que un club bullshit.

I'm sure they'll find a way to keep part of their Unisef deal to avoid a PR disaster.

Right, Unicef will be either on sleeves or somehow connected to the new advert.

Here are some possible designs:

The most ignorant of their fans will go on about how this is a no-profit Foundation without mentioning that it's just another company owned by the family that owns Qatar.

That will look ugly on a Barca shirt.

Sellouts.

"Barcelona will receive €30m per season from 2011-12 from the nonprofit organisation, located in the gulf state where the 2022 World Cup will be played."

And this supposed nonprofit organisation just had £125 million lying about? :/

Sellouts.

Weren't they 145m € in debt at the beginning of this season?

There's a rumor that Qatar want to buy Manchester United.

There's a rumor that Qatar want to buy Manchester United.

another is that they are going to buy ALL the PL and relocate it there

[Jocktopus8 1]

Qatar won't bring the PL over there.

The new Barcelona kit will sell less kits than West Ham.

[Kostas 1,468]

It will earn them more than West Ham is worth though.

[Term-X 7,891]

It will earn them more than West Ham is worth though.
