Noggin Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 The fact that some fans have such feelings about a ******* shirt sponser sums up the vast majority of saints fans. How can you be "underwhelmed" about a logo on a shirt. Would you be popping the champagne if we had sealed a deal with Sony or something. Does it really matter who sponsers us?
Colinjb Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Does it really matter who sponsers us? It does, and it's nice that it's a local firm.
offix Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 AAP3 the new sponsor? What a very unfortunate name for a Dutchman like me - AAP is the Dutch word for monkey!
Golden Balls Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Don't think anyone guessed them on the big sponsor thread! I'm sure someone did but I cba to look
once_bitterne Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Are they a plc? Any idea of what their turnover was last year? To those moaning, had anyone heard of the IT company that sponsor Spurs before this season?
Pancake Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 They are a global company with over 500 staff in 30 countries. Look at their client list... AT&T IBM BAE Systems CISCO Deutsche Bank HSBC Nokia Orange Sony Hardly small time, just in a industry many would be unaware of those involved. They may well have done small bits of work for those companies, but dont kid yourself that they have anything to do with the running of the IT at DB, HSBC, Nokia, IBM or CISCO (FACT, as they say)
Pancake Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Are they a plc? Any idea of what their turnover was last year? To those moaning, had anyone heard of the IT company that sponsor Spurs before this season? Autonomy? Yeah, massive company, used in at least 4 major UK Banks (from personal experience)
rooney Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Their last accounts show group t/o £30M with profit before tax at £300K and NCR's at £960K. All financial ratios showing continued growth which as Nicola has stated, fits in with our own strategy.
trousers Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 (edited) The CEO has the surname 'Jackson'.... Nah, can't be..... Edited 17 March, 2011 by trousers
jam Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 AAP3 the new sponsor? What a very unfortunate name for a Dutchman like me - AAP is the Dutch word for monkey! Not as bad as when West Ham and Spuds had shirts with Pony written on them in big letters.
Gingeletiss Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 ]Hopefully they will create a new website like the Saints foundation and Saints Online Programme [/b]ones to keep a continued theme and pull ourselves out of that crappy football league website company. Perhaps they'll give this forum a few pointers!!
SO16_Saint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 I'm sure someone did but I cba to look Me me me!!
trousers Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 That looks nothing like Cortese.. Put a Saints cap and scarf on him at it's the spitting image....
saint lard Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Thomson holidays logo,not a million miles apart.
NickG Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 So much for the well known brand. you seriously moaning that we haven't signed a big enough named sponsor?
aintforever Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 you seriously moaning that we haven't signed a big enough named sponsor? I don't give a monkeys who sponsors us, just pointing out that it wasn't a well know brand as people on here said. You seriously moaning because I pointed something out?
Evil Monkey Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 What a complete lack of ambition! Brian Howard will never sign for us now.
Mattio Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Whoooo?! Not that it matters of course! Better than getting some horrible global brand like McDonalds!
Pancake Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 you seriously moaning that we haven't signed a big enough named sponsor? It's a bit small time, don't you think? It's all about managing expectations, and NC does himself no favours there by keeping on bigging us up as major players on and offthe field; we as customers and supports have our expectations raised.
Appy Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 It's a bit small time, don't you think? It's all about managing expectations, and NC does himself no favours there by keeping on bigging us up as major players on and offthe field; we as customers and supports have our expectations raised. Who cares what name is on our shirt? I'm glad its a local firm.
NickG Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 I don't give a monkeys who sponsors us, just pointing out that it wasn't a well know brand as people on here said. You seriously moaning because I pointed something out? if that was it no problem and sorry. there is idiots moaning about most things on here so not approving of sponsor seemed like the new thing to beat the club up over.

Thedelldays Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 this is a disgrace....if we had martin o'neil as manager, this would not have happened...Adkins out
stockportsaint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Why would anyone wear a shirt with that thoroughly charmless IT companies name on the front when they could just wear last seasons shirt. My thoughts exactly. Main reason I bought this season's shirt (twice - home and away) is the lack of a sponsor's name/logo. Seriously underwhelmed - was expecting a "household name" according to all the Cortese-hype.
Dr Who? Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 This thread is class, nothing and I mean nothing suprises me with you lot. I could not give a **** who sponsors us..... prefer not to have one, but all extra money in the bank.
Saint in Paradise Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 I wonder when someone will worry that because the Liebherr Group is not the main sponsor that "The Family" is going to sell Saints ? GOOD LUCK and THANKS to aap3 may they and Saints really have at least 3 good years together.
Hatch Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 New shirt looks the t:ts... I like this. When's it available

Seriously underwhelmed - was expecting a "household name" according to all the Cortese-hype. underwhelmed! Is there a sponsor that would have got you excited ffs! Edited 17 March, 2011 by NickG
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 How very underwhelming... Are you serious ? Were you expecting UNICEF FFS ??? My god, is there no end to the moronic posters on this board ? Some of our 'supporters' are utterly embarrassing.
Junction 9 Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Happy enough with the sponsorship deal, gutted about the shirt. The only red in it is the bloody logo!! Has anyone seen the away shirt yet?
S-Clarke Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 lol @ people moaning about the new sponsor, saying it's underwhelming. Seriously, get a grip. It's a club sponsor. ''We signed forte instead of Mackail-Smith FFS!" ''We got Adkins instead of MoN ffs!!!'' ''FFS!!!! Who the hell is this sponsoring us? They're not a massive brand FFS"
ToreSF Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Bu-b-bu-but guys, you promised me Mercedes! L-l-l-lo-lo-LOL
Windmill Arm 2 Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Before this season I had never heard of AON for those that still don't know ( I bet there's some) they sponsor Man U.
scotty Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 That looks nothing like Cortese.. maybe, or maybe not. But the guy on the right looks like he's holding a knife between the other guy's shoulderblades while he signs. Draw your own conclusions.
Smirking_Saint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 lol @ people moaning about the new sponsor, saying it's underwhelming. Seriously, get a grip. It's a club sponsor. ''We signed forte instead of Mackail-Smith FFS!" ''We got Adkins instead of MoN ffs!!!'' ''FFS!!!! Who the hell is this sponsoring us? They're not a massive brand FFS" I can't understand it, we are a massive MASSIVE club on the world stage, just look at the teams we play and the league we are in.
jawillwill Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 Happy enough with the sponsorship deal, gutted about the shirt. The only red in it is the bloody logo!! Has anyone seen the away shirt yet? Agree, really glad we've got a nice local company to sponsor us actually, but that new kit would look tacky in my sunday league, let alone League 1/Championship.
La BoIS Saint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 So this is the massive sponsor? About the same size as Cortese.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 lol @ people moaning about the new sponsor, saying it's underwhelming. Seriously, get a grip. It's a club sponsor. ''We signed forte instead of Mackail-Smith FFS!" ''We got Adkins instead of MoN ffs!!!'' ''FFS!!!! Who the hell is this sponsoring us? They're not a massive brand FFS" This
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 17 March, 2011 Posted 17 March, 2011 (edited) lol @ people moaning about the new sponsor, saying it's underwhelming. Seriously, get a grip. It's a club sponsor. ''We signed forte instead of Mackail-Smith FFS!" ''We got Adkins instead of MoN ffs!!!'' ''FFS!!!! Who the hell is this sponsoring us? They're not a massive brand FFS" F-K me LOL a household name!! Err NO! The company i work for employs more than 800 people worldwide inc the US, Spain , China and Portugal, and were more of a household name than them. And nobodys heard of us! Whats the deal worth! Do they pay more for us if we get into the championship or the Prem. More to the point can they afford to!! Sort of matches our season so far!! EXPECTED MORE!!

How can you be "underwhelmed" about a logo on a shirt. Would you be popping the champagne if we had sealed a deal with Sony or something. Does it really matter who sponsers us? Well yes, I wouldn't want a company that supplied say chemical weapons to a third world dictator or such like sponsoring my club. A local company seems good to me that I've never heard of them is niether here nor there. Although if we could get playboy as a sponsor I wouldn't be unhappy, I imangine they could help to make the matchday programme a lot more fun..........

Because if you are you need to get out more. Actually I'd say some of the comments in this thread matches our fanbase this season. Seriously deluded.
