Dulux apologises for mocking Tottenham after partnership announced

[Geez]

Dulux has apologised for a series of social media posts mocking Tottenham after its new commercial partnership with the club was announced.

"We're investigating what happened and apologise to all Spurs fans."

BBC Football 15 Apr 21

Bet the investigation will be a cover up job or they'll just brush over it

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

Are we eligible to enter the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy next season?

 

[yid-down-under]

First world problems eh?!

What I liked about this banter, and fair play, its pretty good, is that it makes a mockery of enic's money generation stooping vs our amazing trophy output under their tenure. Its a perfect storm. Good on whoever it was.

I’m just relieved that it’s Dulux and not Durex, which I thought it was at first glance ?

We're not that fucked

 

[Gilzeanking]

Just seen the 'We'll gloss over it' from club . Good stuff

 

[wirE]

I thought this was good banter. I liked their mascot as well. He looks fluffy

 

[mumfordspur]

It was really good bantz and to be fair it is what the rest of the footballing world throw at us on a regular basis. Expect loads of it if the cheeky eel munchers make CL.
Slightly o/t but that is why I cringed at the "Leicester City we are coming for you" shit

Well it's got a shitload of publicity and that's the name of this game, so the Dulux intern had actually done pretty well imo

easy mistake to make especially as our players have been playing like a bunch of ........this year

Call me a sceptic but I wonder if this was planned. It has got them a lot more attention than simply sponsoring us.

I dunno, current Spurs and Durex seems a perfect match - both suck the joy out of one of life’s great pleasures

 

[Gassin's finest]

Not the first time we've left ourselves wide open for punishment.

 

[whitesocks]

There is no way this was a mistake, so you have to wonder what they are thinking.
Short term it has got their name out there, so that has value for them.

But for any event they sponsor in the future, their partners are going to wonder if they will just use the association to mock them. They are pretty toxic sponsors, on the face of it.

 

[sebo_sek]

Good stuff ?

True. I mean, we already have Cinch on our shirts

 

[DJS]

Why make the jokes then apologise like pussies about it?

It's the 69th rule of marketing, didn't you know?
