Our stadium name already lends itself perfectly to sponsorship opportunities as well without taking away from its "proper" name. No need to name it the "The Nissan Stadium" for example. It would just become "The Nissan Stadium of Light". Everyone would still immediately know exactly where and what it is.
The people moaning that we aren’t just handing Stewart a premier league contract are the same people who’d whinge if we got put under a transfer embargo.
If there was a worthwhile amount to be made it wouldn’t bother me a single jot if we changed the name completely. I feel no connection at all to the daft name Murray gave it
Any idea how much that would be, bearing in mind FFP puts controls on wages and that we don't know if Stewart would stay for treble ... .. . he was ambitious enough to leave Scotland and come to a desperate L1 outfit, he might have the confidence to think he can play in the PL. Is he on a par with Toney?
Some people can't see the forest for the trees. Sure we caould go down the Derby route but that model has got so many clubs in trouble in the past. I think it says a lot for KLD's maturity that he's not an "I want it now" type of person.
Even that isnt the great cash cow it used to be. They closed that loophole, like they closed the selling the ground to the owners loophole (Stoke only just did it in time or they would be crippled) The value of the naming rights / sponsorship has to be a sensible / commercially accepted value and is verified / evaluated by the league. The mags will soon find this out as they are expecting 17 trillion pound for the naming rights for their **** tip and it's not allowed
Aye but its SOMETHING. Not expecting game changing amounts but if there's any way to increase turnover in a painless way we should. I think its possible we even have an open policy on it... and perhaps have put a commercially appropriate price tag on sponsoring the stadium, and its just sitting there waiting for a company to want to buy it. So rather than actively looking and just taking the highest bidder, we've set a target amount and until its met we don't take it. That would make some sense.
I'm sure we have various plans in place for increasing all the revenue streams. Like everything though, it's going to take time
Hmm, there's a loophole in itself... How much did Man City get for naming rights? Whatever the figure wouldn't that become a precedent for "commercially accepted"
my "research" on twitter showed that it came from one of those weird journalist accounts where the person who posted it isn't an actual journalist but somebody retweets it then somebody says "oh they got something right once" which gives it credibility and then before you know it, its real. Thats not saying it isn't. As usually those "journalist' accounts get it from an ITK on a forum somewhere, be it at this end or that end. And I only spent literally 2 mins looking into it. I've reached the point where I don't believe anything in football unless the Athletic, Times, Telegraph or Guardian report it. Sky Sports as well sometimes.
Henderson would come back and pay subs to play here again mate. I've said for a very long time that he will end up here again, and not when he is passed it.
I'd love to see Henderson back playing for us. What an inspiration to the young lads he would be and he's also a bloody good player
I truly believe we will see him again here. Possibly at the end of his Liverpool contract. love the lad me.
