POLL CLOSED - We Shall Sponsor Darren Cole

[govanblue 16,847]

Poll is now closed.

Darren Cole was the winner, with 40% of the vote.

Seb Faure was 2nd with 27% of the vote.

_____________________________________________

We now need to quickly decide which player we wish to sponsor.

The poll is open to all, whether you made a donation or not.

We will call Rangers tomorrow to confirm that the list is correct, but there's a chance that we've forgotten a few (eg Wiktorski) so we may have to abandon it and start again.

But since time is of the essence, lets get started.

Feel free to add your thoughts on who we should vote for and why.

Im going for Darren Cole as ive been hoping he would break through since Bursaspor and he has had an awful time with injurys but tbh im happy with whoever wins the poll.

[bombaybadboy08 15,660]

Darren Cole for me for the reasons elephant's stoned stated above.

Happy to go with whatever comes out on top though,

[Bad Robot 21,309]

I don't care lads and will go with the majority. Hopefully we will keep this going and sponsor them all.

I wanted to vote for Cole, but went for Faure because I think he'll be in the match squad more. What happens if a player isn't selected for the match squad? Since we're paying a few bob for this, am guessing they can't just leave us out?

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

Also, what does this cash we're putting in actually go to?

That's what we figure.

nacho_nacho_man will find out for sure when he talks to them tomorrow

Nah they can't do that mate, our sponsored player (and our logo) will appear in all home programmes for the rest of the season.

[govanblue 16,847]

Do you mean once Rangers get it?

Good question. Another one for nacho_nacho_man to discover tomorrow hopefully?

[The Dude 20,026]

Faure for a couple reasons. Firstly, and I'm not sure this is still the case, they put the sponsors logo next to the players face on the screens pre-match when announcing the team. Faure is most likely to feature regularly (unless they do it with subs then Gallacher) and secondly I just like him. I think he's had a bad rap from some of our fans and given time he will grow into a very good Rangers player.

[OLE SUPER WILBERT 2,475]

If it's to be a player who's going to be in the match day squad isnt Gallacher the most obvious one to go for?

As far as I'm aware the sponsorship is for the 'kit', but I'll get more info and update the thread accordingly.

[govanblue 16,847]

Probably.

But I think we've established (and will confirm tomorrow) that if your player gets dropped from the squad, your advert moves on to another available player, so you will always be in the programme.

[Madina 3,841]

Think out of those thats left Faure is likely to play more often. Gallagher is always in the matchday squad. Cole I dont think will get much playing time unless we have an injury crisis, will Stella ever play?

I voted Faure but whoever we get I'll be hapy

[Madina 3,841]

Also, what does this cash we're putting in actually go to?

That's a very good question actually. The club must make around £25,000 per season with these sponsorship deals. Wonder where it goes?

[Ricky_ 893]

i'm going with Stella. Fuck Tennents.

Interesting point and another one to ask Rangers about nacho_nacho_man!

I'm that much of a publicity whore I'll change my vote if this is the case.

Can't remember them doing it this season, but that's not say it doesn't happen. Will get this confirmed.

Voted for Darren,but as most say who ever wins the vote gets my full backing and money.

For the kit? I thought Umbro provided them for free??

[nacho_nacho_man 477]

Kevin Kyle doesn't have a sponsor yet (according to saturday's programme).

I asked today and he's been sponsored

[sandymcm 25]

would be happy with anyone of those players.

[Redwhiteandblue 3,330]

Apparently, we have a goalie out on loan until January. When he comes back, Gallacher is meant to go out on loan. I don't know if this is true, but I read it on here last night.

[nacho_nacho_man 477]

Thought about using one of the match day shout outs to mention our sponsorship over the tannoy.

Any ideas on what we could say?

[OceanRain 2,845]

Plumped for Cole but will be happy with any of the above if he isn't ultimately selected.
