i really not sure about this sponsor, but I still got my shirt from the 2008/2009 season I still wear that until it falls off lol
Yep, genuine quote, as you point out half of it doesn't even make sense and you've hit the nail on the head with you can't polish a turd! Though Cash Converters might try to sell you one...
Tell you what, lets not have a sponsor....500k a year will pay for a new centre backs wages and we bloody well need one of those. We are not Barcelona people, we cannot afford to turn down a sponsor who is offering a large amount of money to have a logo on our shirts. Hull is a great City with great people (well mostly anyway)..we know it and those who come here know it...it is those who have never been that slate it...those who come here for a few hours to watch a game of football only slate it...bollocks to them, this is a great city and will be greater in the coming years...manufacturers in the renewable energy are going to invest hundreds of millions in and around this city....why...well because we have the skills available, we have the training available in our colleges and universities and we have the willingness in the people to work hard and succeed.....**** the others...we are from Hull and proud of it.....a poxy sponsor on a football clubs shirt does not detract from that. My rant for the evening. UTT
The company isn't that bad. I couldn't give a **** if the other fans think it underlines us as crack addicts or poor people; they pretty much thought that of us in the first place but we know that we aren't, so why try and persuade a load of other dumb ****s otherwise?! Honestly, it's like now everything is coming good for the club, people are looking for things to moan about. Where's Junior Lewis when you need him?
Hull is a ****hole but do we care! Your getting mauled by a ****hole. nobody likes us but we dont care....just go with the flow!!!
I think we're all aware of the financial benefit of the deal, but will most of us be wearing the shirt? No. I'd sooner walk around with Nettos on the front of my shirt.
I don't wear football shirts but my son gets the home, away and the keeper kit every season plus a couple of training tops.It's not that he's spolit, his birthday is at the end of July and he buys a lot of it himself with his birthday money. I cannot deny that when he wears the new shirt abroad on our hols I'll feel embarrased that it has cash converters on the front. I'm no snob but it's just a **** brand to have on a shirt. Give it a couple of weeks and I may find it slighly amusing but I doubt it.
My boy initially said he didn't then changed his mind.When I add up all the stuff he got from last season it's ****ing ridiculous. A full kit with the badges on the arms and name and number on the back comes up to about £ 80.00. Times that by three and then add 2 x training tops at at about £ 30 a pop and training pants at about the same. It's nearly £ 350.No wonder I'm still walking around in Aribas 4 stripe trainers, Arrow jeans and a Rodeo tracksuit top. I bet no one knows who's brand Rodeo was ?
I'm getting one at the request of my Dads girlfriends brother. He lives in Brazil and hardly speaks a word of English so he won't care whats on the front. I'm swapping it with him for a Sergipe Aracaju shirt.
Right, if that's true it doesn't matter how much cash they're giving us the deal is actually worth **** all to the club compared to other deals on the table, because the Allams were going to take another sponsor and make up any shortfall. All this talk of £500k a year paying a good cente back's wages would is pointless. For starters the deal is only worth £1M if we get promoted to the PL. Secondly, if they're considering all possibilities like that it's a 3 year deal. 1 season in the Championship and 2 in the PL could be what's required for us to get £1M. I'd expect PL sponsorship to be worth twice what Championship is so you'd be looking at £200k a season in the Championship and £400k in the PL. And that's not even the value of accepting the deal, because you'd need to knock off what other sponsors were offering, if the next best offer was £150k for the season the benefit to the club of going with Cash Converters would be £50k, or £1k a week. Over 8 signings you're talking about getting them to accept about £125/wk less for their pay, which after tax is going to be about £60/wk out of take home pay of over £2,500 (based on £5k/wk contract).
C&A. Arrow jeans were gash. I remember having Cowpoke jeans from Boyes as a kid lokked pretty good with a snake belt mind!
"Where's Junior Lewis when you need him?" funny you asked that! my neighbour's hairdresser who's lost her sight in one eye said she saw him coming out of Hull Royal Infirmary yesterday.. which means he could lined up as a replacement for Danns when we don't get him..
Well done that man.The only thing I can actaully remember having from C&A was a two tone Harrington jacket.I thought it was pure ****e but my old lady liked it so that was the end of that. The older kids at school went mad over it, couldn't see it myself but what do I know ?
The club are obviously free to choose who they like for a sponsor, but I for one will not give them my money to walk around with "Cash Converters" on my chest. I think they will be surprised just how few shirts they sell this season;
