Don't be so ridiculous.
I made up that the club would like sponsorship in place for something like this as early as possible? Yeah, alright John.Oh I see... you made it up.
Thanks.
Leave it another few years sure waiting for this world record deal that I'm sure will happen.
Imagine believing Levy hasn't been trying to sell the rights for 5 years already
Read the post I made on this thread a little earlier. Read it slowly so it sinks in.
What world record deal? Stop making shit up, you're embarrassing yourself.
Basically the same as every time I buy a beer on a Friday after work.
Here's a good piece from 2016, there are plenty of others since that mention the ambition of a deal that still hasn't fucking happened. Do your own Googling.
5 years later..
Oh, ok fake news obviously.Haha!
That's a really credible source, thanks.
Good luck John.
Don't bite, mate
Nike have never sponsored a stadium, and there's nothing to suggest they're about to do that now.
As for your other post, you act like he ought to have known that Covid was coming, and also that you have knowledge of genuine offers that were turned down. Truth is, there's never been a credible report on stadium sponsor interest or firm offers, and everything you're saying is down to nothing but speculation from less than reputable sources
We had engagements even during the finance stage - that is a well known fact
He had 3 years min prior to Covid to resolve this - also a fact
You make it sound like not having a sponsor and missing out on 30/40m per annum is a good thing?
Don't feed the troll.
I actually like the fact that we don't have a sponsor's name attached to the stadium. I know that it is not sensible from a financial viewpoint, but maybe the other activities will balance that out.
Well known by who? How is any of this fact? to prove something is a fact there must be evidence. You only have speculation that's been regurgitated so often it's treated as fact, but nothing more than that.
Obviously missing out on £30/40m per annum for stadium sponsorship is disappointing, in the same way that me not being paid half a million a year salary is disappointing.
If a business wanted to pay a decent amount for a stadium sponsor, we'd have a stadium sponsor.
We held out longer than anyone else to get a sleeve sponsor, but we now have one. We held out longer than many other clubs for a training wear sponsor, but we now have one. Whether that's down to Levy holding out for an unachievable price until now, we don't know, and whether we've now done these deals because Levy has agreed to drop the price, we don't know. You could speculate, and no doubt you will, but that doesn't make it fact.
Wrong - only if they paid the amount Levy wanted
Same reason why we missed out on millions for a sleeve and training sponsor for years
Naming rights was part of the deal from the very start - don't be silly
This is from 2019
Speaking in an exclusive interview with the Evening Standard , Levy said: "We are only going to do a naming rights deal if we get the right brand, in the right sector, on the right money.
"If we can’t meet those three criteria, we won’t do it. At the moment, we haven’t found a company that meets all three criteria. We are not really close to anything on that at the moment."
I'd agree if we we'd called the ground 'New White Hart Lane' or named it after someone or something like that, but to me 'Tottenham Hotspur Stadium' has always been a placeholder name until we find a sponsor.
How many millions did we miss out on? How many companies made offers? What was the value of those offers? What's the value of the deals we've recently made? You obviously know these answers?
And yes, I'm not sure where the fault is with what Levy said there. What's the issue with that?
