Noggin Posted 17 March, 2011 Share 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?

once_bitterne Posted 17 March, 2011 Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pancake Posted 17 March, 2011 Share 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) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stockportsaint Posted 17 March, 2011 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint in Paradise Posted 17 March, 2011 Share 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 ?

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..........
