Was always going to happen once the new president got in, disgrace

With Athletic Bilbao accepting coinage for shirt advertising since 3-4 years ago, is there a professional club left which doesn't? Were these the last two? NSC will know ...

 

[El Presidente]

Rumour has it that Barca now have the readies for the Chris Holroyd bid

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Quatar foundation is a non-profit making organisation.

It will also be incorporated into the Unicef sponsorship. Barca have said the Unicef sponshorship will be the largest/most prominent regardless.

So not really that bad.

Did Athletic Bilbao get a Basque-owned company on their shirts? I know they have a Basque-only policy when it comes to their players but wondered if that extended to their sponsors.

Domino's Tapas, I think?

Will they be signing Samuel ETA ?

 

[willyfantastic]

Bilbao do indeed have a basque sponsor on their shirt.
I assume the only reason Barca did this was because of their debt, cant think of any other clubs without a sponsor.

Lazio maybe?

Fiorentina didnt this year but then got Save The Children on theirs just before the season started

Yep - Petronor, Basque-based oil company. And even then, they were equivocal - fans could (maybe still can) buy replica shirts without the logo.

Now we know why Pep Guardiola was a bid ambassador for Qatar 2022-Money talks

 

[Silent Bob]

They sold their soul to Nike ages ago anyway.

 

[The Fifth Column]

Spanish Wankers.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Im sure they will find x amount to sign someone - no better than Portsmouth.

 

[deletebeepbeepbeep]

Spanish Wankers.

harsh!

They paid Zidane £15 million to do the same.

 

[Cullip4]

I think West Brom have still resisted the urge to sell their soul, although I think thats more down to the fact that nobody wants to sponsor them

When your 400 million in debt..... it was bound to happen
