10-15 million for naming rights of Ibrox? V No money and keeping Ibrox the name

[Falcoholic 1,348]

My head says "Yes, it makes excellent business sense and would help to fill the coffers"

My heart says "No way!! Irrespective of what CG says, everything is not for sale"

I suppose what I'm trying to say is "I just don't rightly know"

Any intended deal would require close scrutiny.

Id take the money, as long as it is the 6-7 million that has been stated. No less than that.

Id still call it Ibrox, so would all fans and most people in general would still call it Ibrox. Hundreds of clubs have this kind of deal. Its money in the clubs pocket and money talks.

he's not selling Ibrox, that's what fucks me off, he's offering people to pay us money to sponsor the stadium for a few years. The Sports Direct Ibrox Stadium, what's the fucking difference, it's not been sold.

It's a massive no for me my Grandad called it Ibrox,my Dad called it Ibrox, i call it ibrox and my son will call it Ibrox.. as it has been for all of my lifetime.

And besides if we're as debt free and cash rich as big Charles tells us why the hell the need??

And it still will be, The re-naming would be a short term thing. And even it we did rename it. You, me and every other Rangers fan will sill call it Ibrox.

If we sell the name,why not sell the club badge and colour of the strip?

Because they're not just names?

Rangers is ''just a name'' why dont we sell that off as well then eh?

What a stupid way of thinking.

Little different, our stadium end of the day is named after the area it is in.

Not read the thread but to put the OP into perspective, dortmund and Bayern Munich get less than £4m per year each for their long term stadium naming deals, so we would be lucky to get £1m even once we are back in Europe. For that money, I 'm out.

[gogzy 31,195]

I would wait and see what offer is on the table.

We already do?

Umbro, tennents,

Valid point mate but I don't fancy seeing it on Sky Sports or in the Paper or whoever is talking about Ibrox as naming it something completely different.

Personally I would rather keep the name Ibrox. Would hate for a game of ours to be on the TV and hearing the words "and live from the Sports Direct stadium" or words to that effect

You need to read the thread, it would not be 15 million a season lol...not even Arsenal get that...it would be over a 10 year period most likely...so 1-1.5 million a season.

Surly 1-1.5 million every season is far better than receiving nothing?

The poll optio a are unfair.

I'm all for selling the rights with a few stipulations though.

1 has to be for decent money and its a limited contract with expiry date, upon which the name reverts back to owner for re-sale.

2 Ibrox has to remain in the title.

This.

For eg: The Sports Direct Arena Ibrox Stadium

It's so much more than that.

[simplythebest 11,453]

It's so much more than that.

Is it? Used to be called Ibrox Park after all.

Are you really trying to compare that, to it being sold to the highest bidder?

Like has already been said, somethings aren't for sale.

[andyhrfc 2,242]

Would Old Trafford or Anfield be sold for naming rights.....? NO so why Ibrox? That would really brand us a small club.

[WadeWilson 4,670]

Whatever my house is called it's still my home.

What if you had to name your house after your woman's ex? Y'know the guy with the big, thick, veiny cock whom she really loved but who dumped her before you were the sucker to pick up the pieces?

I am just asking.

Bobfoc burd!

Tits and beef chandeliers after Dev and Fantaman bury the hatchet....

Some things in life are not for sale.

agreed. no amount of money is worth this, certainly not the paltry 5-15 million being talked of here. Other clubs have cashed in with this one but we are not any other club. Ibrox is internationally known and respected as a top tier stadium, no gimmicks required. the heart and soul of the club, you would sell to the highest bidder. A shame.

Aye, I just don't feel naming rights are one of them.

Not like you'll stop going if it happens is it?

The Premier League Sky money may just leave them in a wee bit of a stronger financial position than ourselves.

Sorry, but a sponsorship is not selling our heart and soul. It's not like it's being suggested we sell the stadium.
