Aston Villa's New Shirt Sponsors

[Everest]

They were talking about this on Talksport the other day. They had a Villa fan on the phone (ooooerrr) who said that Villa have increased their prices so much for next season, that it's the fans who will be paying for it.

and who exacxtly had told that the fan that the price hike was to pay for the loss of a shirt sponsor alone exactly? - and not to pay for, say, players salary increases, squad strengthening etc etc.

I think the fan didn't really have an effing clue.

It is a nice gesture no doubt. But believe me, before they made it, a head will have rolled in the commercial team at Villa for not securring a sponsor before the deadline. Royal f*ck up.

are we all so bitter a twisted that we can't even comtemplate that this is an honest gesture?

As has been mentioned I actually think that long term they will benefit from it. Anyhow Villa giving space worth ?£2m is equivalent to me chucking 50p into a Children in Need collection bucket - is it really to much to hope that they did it for the right reasons?

I'll calm down now

My mate is a Villa fan, and says they'll still be the 3rd cheapest prem team to watch.

Barca actually went a step further, they also donate a fee each season to unicef aswell as having the logo on the shirt.

Great gesture from Villa; let's see if Manure or the Arse or Chelski follow suit (I won't be holding my breath, tho).

[Caveman]

Well done and they will get good PR as mentioned earlier.

Hardly Chelski as they have removed "Mobile" and re-done the kit.

FFS! some people really are petty. Does this keep you awake at night?

Well done Villa - from the large minded majority!

Sarcasm obviously not your strong point rob.

But to be fair, Villa have been selling out quite a lot recently lot so why not? Everyone puts up their prices when the demand is there, not just in football.
