StanBalaban Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Assuming this article is correct, then it seems our profile is high in the US. That said, much of it may have been linked to Gerrard but if that's what it took to help increase the commercial revenue then so be it. Hopefully, we can now capitalise on any budding interest by being a successful team. https://www.sportsvibe.co.uk/2022/09/14/americas-most-googled-premier-league-teams/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spiezels Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Just goes to show that the move for stevie was at least in part a commercial one. The US is surely still a fairly untapped market to sell ourselves in. Need to lay the groundwork before the World Cup there, after that, it’s open season. They’ll all be into it.

tommytenjobs Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 Well. One thing they could do is employ some staff in the ticket office or someone to redesign the functionality of the website to buy tickets. Absolute shambles. 1 hour on hold to then get timed out. Doesn't open until 10. Hour closed for lunch. Wtf are they doing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 We need to start getting sponsorship deals outside of the main club sponsor, last month Spurs got a multi million pound deal to be their 4x4 vehicle partner. Man Utd have loads of these, it’s so much extra money coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho is a very popular player in the US. A lot of the big La Liga teams are extremely popular, and with a large latin/south american presence, not to mention how many in the US are also of Jamaican decent, it makes sense.

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I might be " tone deaf " myself, but can someone explain the hate for betting companies to me? Is it because people get addicted to gambling? If so, people also get addicted to alchohol ( for example ), yet it is served at stadiums and people don't have a problem with them being sponsors or promoted. Alchohol is a millions times worse than any betting could be. Is there PROPER justification or is this extreme virtue signaling? Genuine questions as i don't get it.

White-label gambling firms are basically shell companies for Asian gambling firms who cannot legally advertise in their countries. Maybe pay no tax, are registered in tax havens and disappear within a year or so. Sometimes the only names you see of people who work for them only ever appear in press releases we put out, for example. It’s incredibly murky and dubious. Especially when our website doesn’t put warnings that said partners will take you to gambling websites. We don’t rightly have sponsors on shirts for alcohol and tobacco. Gambling should be treated as such. Many companies readily exploit the desperation of people. Many are social pariahs and for a club that speaks of community it’s a slap in the face.

S-Platt Posted January 10, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 10, 2023 Until Villa say it's a done deal I would not worry. Replacing Cazoo you would think we could attract better. For a sleeve sponsor it always seems to be dodgy companies you have never heard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
