The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24th June 2013

[pal90]

Some great info yesterday. I actually cracked a woody at one stage. Lets hope for more. The misses just doesn't get me excited like that anymore!

Am I the only one that's slightly worried somebody gave this an "Informative" rating?

 

[Insomnia]

Villa & Paulinho would certain rock my boat, COYS

Tbh most of us already knew.

The level of man love can be quite disturbing in this thread, then they try to overcompensate by asking hottie for a reach around.

But what do i know, I'm still waiting for daves number.

 

[Mr Pink]

Missed quite bit of info last few days, still on holiday in Portugal though!

Cheers, that makes me feel so much better.

Bale at a wedding (inc pictorial evidence) reported over on COYS:
Mate bumped into Gareth Bale at a wedding
He sent me a text with these pics saying he managed to have a quick chat with him. He said he wants to stay at Tottenham but a transfer might be out of his hands though.


This is no concern. He knows that if a stupid bid came in, the club might consider and his agent would be booking holidays before the fax paper was even dry.

LET'S FOCUS ON HIM WANTING TO STAY

Add Bernard to that list and I would be a happy, happy man! Maybe add a young cheap forward for the future and a new left back then we would have the perfect window...

Investec?

I hope not, fits with the colour scheme but (I hate to say this) I feel that we need something bigger, something that will propel the brand forward in other markets.
Tune Group which was an ITK cryptic a couple of weeks back would be far better in that respect and whilst the normal logo is in red, there is a precedent for changing their logo colours as they did when sponsoring the Williams F1 team

I believe they are sponsoring match officials mate

 

[Majin]

Maybe we can get some of that Gazprom money, although it seems unlikely, I'm not sure we have the right connections.

I though Tune Group sponsored Catheram? Maybe they were on a previous season's Williams. I wonder if the relationship they have with Tony Fernandes may cause us an issue in securing that deal?

I know what you mean though Absolute Bobbins, seems like we need to aspire for a larger company to come in. I wonder if the next sponsor will be a short term deal until stadium development is further along and we can tie the two together more effectively.

Good morning ITKers, sorry i'm late.....I got held up just now when my next door neighbour knocked on the door wearing just a see through negligee, asked to borrow a cup of sugar and then asked to come in for 'a cup of coffee'.​

​

Fuck off Dave I said.......stop being such a silly ****, I'm busy.​

​

At the weekend there was a smidgin of ITK and a shit cryptic. For the record, the cryptic was meant to be shit because you moan when its hard (as one does) and to those of you who complained......up yours.​

​

The upshot of the ITK is that Paulinho and Villa are looking tasty. It seems almost every other club is making/has been making signings. Except us. I'm undecided as to why that is........Are we doing things correctly and waiting for the window to 'officially' open? Or are we doing things traditionally and waiting for the fucker to close? You decide.​

​

Let us hope today brings some more ITK because some of the shit you lot came out with yesterday was painful. Harry Kane. Get out of here.​

​

And now its time for a song. So sing one. I recommend 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon round the old oak tree' by Tony Orlando and Dawn.​

​

​

Sorry too about the suger.....thought my french accent might have helped!

Perhaps part of why AvB announcing he's staying with us is that perhaps Qatar Airways (owned by qatar investment authority who own PSG) are our new sponsers? Jus sayin'.....

AVB is on good terms with the QIA chairman anyways....

dia is muire duit

i like your name

Wouldn't stop them. There's no rules preventing them sponsoring clubs and refs, I believe. Plus, as I mentioned when there was ITK on this a couple of weeks ago (which, very nearly - but let's be honest, doesn't - make this worthy of discussion here), I pointed out that Tune Group could sponsor as themselves (Refs), AirAsia (QPR) or AirAsiaX (us), for example. AirAsiaX is their long haul service and therefore theoretically more relevant for us anyway.

But, the point is, I'm pretty sure a sponsor can cover more than one club, and certainly match officials at the same time.

Would that even be allowed?

Conflict of interest if we were to play PSG in CL

Can't see them sponsoring us as they already have a big (somewhat shady IMO) sponsorship deal with Chelsea. So unlikely to help out a rival as well

Yep agree I was only referring to them as the Tune Group, not any others in the portfolio

Barcelona have Qatar Airways on their shirts for next year. Government-owned companies are a bit of a grey area it seems. Same ownership (although Qatari royalty is extensive, and each company has a different CEO) but run separately.

I doubt it's a problem. Emirates Airlines would be in the same boat plane: Arsenal, Real Madrid, Milan.. whoever else.

 

[Singaspursofsixspence]

Not sure with

Not sure about sponsorship laws, but has it always been one club one sponsor only?
