mabawsa 888 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 After CR Smith did a joint sponsorship upto end of season 86-87 we went our own way with McEwans and Septic stayed with CR Smith. They tried to do similar and ended up with People's of Bathgate at the start of the 90's! Kind of shows who owns the commercial interest in OF. Mind you I would be happy to go our own way. We already are just now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain1712 336 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 What a bunch of deluded soap dodging scumbags, do they honestly think their disgrace of a sporting institution can afford to give up shirt sponsorship ? Are they really that blind and bigoted that they haven't noticed their club is selling players in order to balance the books. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We Will Follow Rangers 12,959 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 fucking brilliant, let them commit commercial suicide, what potential advertiser would want to decimate their potential market share by sponsering their green and grey rag on a solo basis?liewell took his begging bowl round the world and had to come back to duke street, the quicker we get their jakey brew off our tops the better. it looks fucking awfull.will be happy to trust green to get us a better deal, he's done well so far in that department. the worldwide publicity we've generated by supporting our club in such huge numbers despite our position will make us even more attractive to potential sponsers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol 401 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'd rather we had nothing to do with them either.However the sad truth of it is that the Old Firm, whether we like it or not, are what sells. It's a world famous rivalry & is the main selling point of commercial deals (TV, sponsors etc). They are the cross we have to bear, so to speak.

ianbear007 15 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 cg should be quick off the mark here and end any sponsorship deals with them before they have the chance to cancel the deals themselves.pacific kiddiefiddler cunts Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

harlands plater 17,011 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 What about when we were sponsored by McEwans, were they not just sponsored by Umbro?Correct, they couldn't attract any company whatsoever and had to get their kit manufacturers to fill the gaping space.

WCPRANGERS1 2,997 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Did we not have a separate sponsor from them years ago? When did we start to have the same sponsors?CrSmith originally them it came back in with NTLIt just shows that they hate us more than they "support" their own club if they'd rather go without ANY sponsorship income...

Carsons Army 4,146 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 A simple reply to the Bheast shareholders from VanguardbearsIt’s not often that Vanguard Bears is in agreement with Celtic supporters – particularly their lunatic fringe - but on this occasion we fully endorse the opinion of their shareholders who, prior to their Annual General Meeting next month, want all joint commercial ties severed with Rangers.http://www.scotsman....ngers-1-2592372They will have their own motives - most probably deep-rooted hatred of the very existence of our club. We at VB have our own:-We do not want to be associated in any way with Celtic FC and its unambiguous and undeniable links to Irish Republican terrorism and the unforgiveable covering-up of heinous child abuse.

Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Whatever they - or any other club - do or do not do with regard to their commercial sponsorthip deals is a matter for them and not worthy of any consideration whatsoever by Rangers. Our only duty and privilege is to look after ourselves, to get the best deals we can for ourselves (and I include TV and media rights in this too), to generate as much cash as we can for ourselves, and to use the money from these deals wisely. Perhaps their shirts will bear the names of great sponsoring insititutions like Enron or Barings or Jarvis and their club follows the same fortune as these institutions.
