TrentVilla Posted May 19, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 19, 2013 I've always wanted Cadbury's to be our sponsor, a local firm (US owned now) and they don't have a horrible logo. I think just their name in white on our shirts would look good, no two glasses mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 I think an organisation that fits in with the family values that Villa has would be best for the sponsorship. Genting isn't a good fit with our ethos - I thought we got with of 32 Red because it was Gambling. So won't be sorry to part company with them. Acorns was the best one we've had and we should bring it back. If we have to have a commercial sponsor then I like the idea of Cadbury's, Cross Country Trains, Jaguar Landrover, Tata Steel, Seat - it's very difficult to find an organisation that fits the values of Villa though.

Values of villa?? It's a money business and we go with whoever offers the most. If dug deep I'm sure dirt could be found on most companies so they wouldn't fit with villa "values" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villanwesty88 Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 There are some things that are worth more than money. The respect Villa gained by having Acorns is evident - doesn't this then make Villa a more attract proposition for other companies and therefore attract more money anyway? They'll all want a slice of the good PR and to be associated with the good things Villa do with Acorns. Personally I would bring Acorns back on the away strip, sell the home sponsorship and look to emulate Man Utd by getting sponsors for the training kit, social media etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.I.C.O. Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 It will be another totally random company again that takes us out of the blue. I would expect another random online casino or gambling operation; with so much interest in the PL in the far east that's where the money lies.

islingtonclaret Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 There are some things that are worth more than money. The respect Villa gained by having Acorns is evident - I distinctly remember Clive Tyldsley bigging up Barcelona for having UNICEF and saying you'd never get a Premier League team doing that. He said it the second year we had Acorns. What's the point in doing it when the media and pundits view your team as someone that Man United and Liverpool have to play twice a season? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyBM Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 being against gambling, i disliked 32red and genting, i agree it should be either family orientated or large local business minded Cadburys and JLR are both good calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Some sort of adult diaper company if Villa plan to put us through this again... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I agree too that a gamling company is cheap, basically because we don't get much from them anyway. I'd rather have 3M from someone "nice" compared to 4M from a betting company nobody has ever head of, especially when the TV-deal is going to get us a lot of cash this summer. But who am I to judge, 4M is always better than 3M for the finance people at the Villa and rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I think we should go for Red Bull or something like that. Maybe a car company - Jaguar or Rolls Royce.... Could be fun. Is it even definitely changing this season? I thought Genting were going to be with us a few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted May 20, 2013 Moderator Share Posted May 20, 2013 Jaguar Land Rover pleaseGreat global brand made in Solihull They could put different stuff on different shirts, Defender written on three or four shirts, Discovery written on Tekkers shirt. I'm struggling for the others I'll be honest.Against the rules iirc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
