Summer Investment

You can't blame people for what was said in that podcast.

Bringing in sponsorship which is the biggest the club has had, more than was seen in the premiership days.
It's like saying that you have won the lottery, bigging it up and come the time then saying you won £100.
If the sponsorship is modest then deliver it that way.

That's my look on it anyway. If the sponsorship is the highest in our history then it's certainly a good/positive thing and I will certainly applaud it.
I was quite open minded when I heard the interview but I expected alot of people to have got excited about it and I totally understand why.......and I would be a bit arrogant to say that it's on them.

In regards to the sponsorship itself. I don't know anything about it but to secure one that is the biggest in its history is excellent given our recent history as a premier league club. If we can secure premiership football in X amount of years with Snoop,Modric and even 1 or 2 others on board then that would certainly mean that sponsorship record would be broken again in time.

You can blame people for twisting words, gossiping and making shit up
 
You can't blame people for getting excited when Gorringe seems excited himself.
You can't blame old duffers like me for thinking, yeah right, I'll believe it when I see it. ( though you probably will)

Of course you can't on both counts.

You have to be respectful and understanding of both sides.

Any extra sponsorship is worth having, but you are right that people shouldn’t jump to wild theories because it’s extremely unlikely to be anything close to reality given the regulatory restrictions on ownership investment, that includes companies associated with any ownership, which means any sponsorship will be at market value regardless of source.

The good news is that a record sponsorship deal for us means that our market value/brand is clearly increasing in the eyes of sponsors due to the connections with Snoop and Modric which can only be a good thing.

My guess is it may well be a record sponsorship deal for the club, but still a very modest amount in the great scheme of things.
I'm sure there's ways around it tho. Just look at Man City and Etihad.

Etihad and Man City are both effectively owned by the State of UAE.

Etihad's latest sponsorship deal with Man City is thought to be in the region of £1 billion... way over market value.

I think their under scrutiny for that. I don't think many of any clubs would now get away with that.
