Isla Wight Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Never heard of them. Then I never heard of AAP3 either. Suppose it's our level.
doubleonothing Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 At least it's not Wonga.com And they seem to have a tie in with the Senna foundation.
Saint Charlie Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Always better to sort out the sponsor rather than the Manager

LGTL Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Gareth Rogers - "Finding a partner who could match our ambition was our main priority" That's some ambition...
doubleonothing Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Article on the OS says they will be releasing some Saints branded electronics. Could be interesting. Could be cr@p Only a 2 year deal as well.
Bearsy Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 gr8 news! I will get all my ho's from VE in future. Do ST holders get discount? How bout STD holders?
BlakeySFC Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Majorly underwhelmed, was hoping it'd be someone that could pump a bit of cash into the club, instead we get another tiny Hants based company that'll probably contribute 200k-500k a year to the club. How can clubs like Brighton, West Bromwich Albion, Reading etc. get higher profile sponsors that pump more money into clubs than us? Are our commercial department that inept?
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 How much is worth will be very interesting as it will give us an idea to how much the outside World thinks we are worth at our highest point for years.
Saint Charlie Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Gareth Rogers - "Finding a partner who could match our ambition was our main priority" That's some ambition... How is this bloke CEO of a PL football team?
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 gr8 news! I will get all my ho's from VE in future. Do ST holders get discount? How bout STD holders? What about people who have held quite a few STD's in their time? Do they get an extra speaker?
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 How is this bloke CEO of a PL football team? This is the Southampton way, love it, embrace it and don't ever think it will change. #itshappening
ThreeSixty Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Obviously the club feels sticking with local businesses is a good idea.
sotonjoe Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Always better to sort out the sponsor rather than the Manager Agreed. With commercial gain being announced as a priority, bagging a new sponsorship deal is more urgent than worrying about a manager who remains under contract. Well done Saints.

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk And we are certainly tapping into those commercial revenue streams that Ralph was on about, my going absolute small time once again.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Sounds like we'll be getting an absolute pittance once again then What! I thought this was going to be the deal that showed our real standing? Oh no! Not really? Oh ok then.

Do we know for sure what they are giving the club? Is that really all we can expect they will be giving us? If so thats worse then aap isn't it?
Bearsy Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 http://www.veho-world.com/main/news.aspx?id=85 i am deffo gonna buy some of the "Veho saints range of co-branded electronics"!
Cascadia Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC 8m Steve Lewis, CEO of @VehoWorld: “The board of Veho are all lifelong supporters of the Club so we all share the fans’ passion for success.”
Whitey Grandad Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 MASSIVE. Who? If you squint it certainly looks like 'who'. How long before they get the old heave-ho?
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Ralphies played a blinder with this deal, I have to say I'm impressed and all I said was wrong about him and the intentions of Southampton's board wanting to sell up along with the players and him being a hatchet man are all wrong.

Don't know anyway to find out for sure, aap3 were giving, what, £350k a season? At the most I'd imagine Veho will be giving £500k, they're of a comparative size to aap3.
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Never heard of them. Then I never heard of AAP3 either. Suppose it's our level. Had you heard of Aon before Man Ure?
red&white56 Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Never heard of them before today! But then again I imagine that I'm not their target market, so no surprise there... However, if I'm ever looking for a MIMI™ Wi-Fi Keyboard & Air Mouse then I now know where to look, that's if I can find my glasses first...
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 (edited) Based on this, Saints should be looking for deals from £3m to £5m if they are seriously looking to close the gap commercially as Ralph Krueger stated he was aiming to... Have they managed that with Veho? Edited 9 May, 2014 by Matthew Le God
doubleonothing Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Not sure if it's as bad as it's being made out to be! If you look at their website they having being going on a bit of a publicity drive of late. Tie ins with the Senna Foundation, official tech partner of the British GT championship etc. Some of their products don't look bad either. I'm viewing it as a local company that is expanding globally and is looking to use Premiership exposure to help themselves grow. And besides we don't know how much they are paying us! It might turn out to be a fair bit!
Gemmel Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 (edited) Obviously the club feels sticking with local businesses is a good idea. I think it has to be this. Which might not be a bad thing if they are prepared to sacrifice revenue, on the belief it will support the local community. Additionally, Someone that had met Ralph posted on here that he made some comments alluding to contracts that had to be honoured......May be this was one of Cortese deals? I would be interested to know if aap3 have seen any significant growth following their sponsorship with Saints and whether it was deemed by them as "Worthwhile". Edited 9 May, 2014 by Gemmel
SO16_Saint Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Lets not ve too harsh to Veho, shall we. Theyre a local company who obviously see benefit from sponsoring SFC, and the club must see reciprocal benefits. He directors are Saints fans too, so may well frequent this site Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk

Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Arsenal Fly Emirates Manchester United AON Liverpool Standard Chartered Manchester City Etihad Tottenham HP / AIA Chelsea Samsung Newcastle Wonga Aston Villa Dafabet.com Everton Chang Beer Southampton VEHO Worrying as at our highest point we can only attract a Hampshire based speaker company.
Bearsy Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 i reckon they're prob paying us an absolute fortune! Veho have proven track record of being more money than sense, e.g. when they paid someone to design that logo.
LGTL Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 We seem to want to do the company that are sponsoring us a favour, rather then the other way around.
Colinjb Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Never heard of them. Doesn't matter though, a local firm who are evidently ambitious and are looking to gain exposure? It's a good way to do it.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Based on this, Saints should be looking for deals from £3m to £5m if they are seriously looking to close the gap commercially... Have they managed that with Veho? Watch the most delusional poster renege, retract and squirm from this belter.
Barry Sanchez Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Never heard of them. Doesn't matter though, a local firm who are evidently ambitious and are looking to gain exposure? It's a good way to do it. It matters as surely the club should be looking for more exposure and a more prestigious company? If they cant attract more then its worrying to say the least. How much is it worth?
Delboy Dave Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 I tried to convince them that Trotters Independant Traders was a better option than the modern day Amstrad, but me old mate Ralph was having none of it!
Baird of the land Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Looking at the sponsorship league table(above) you would very much doubt we've moved up at all despite our higher profile this season & and all the chat about focusing on commercial streams of income. Really hope I'm wrong & they have paid a large sum.
Matthew Le God Posted 9 May, 2014 Posted 9 May, 2014 Based on this, Saints should be looking for deals from £3m to £5m if they are seriously looking to close the gap commercially as Ralph Krueger stated he was aiming to... Have they managed that with Veho?
