Etihad. Flown with them, they're plush and the big gold font would look quite groovy on the front of the stadium, i reckon (though when choosing an Arabic sponsor, too much Arabic text, it'll start to look like some kind of temple)

Thats the other airline i'm thinking, I can just see that symbal on the wall.

Hmmn, so in the best signing 08/09 thread you state Rasiak, then post the above.

I think it's great that they've installed the internet in Broadmoor. Gives me a whole new perspective that I'd have never considered. :grin:

Qatar currently are building a new state of the art Airport in Doha, obviousley Qatar Airways is there flagship as Emirates is to UAE, so with that in mind, the airport is due to open in 2011 and finishing work by 2013, and its a nice airport that will put Qatar Airways on the map big time. With that in mind I wouldn't be suprised if Qatar did become our naming rights, they will be in direct competition with Emirates and may see a premiership london club as ideal, they already operate out of Heathrow and Gatwick.

I'd like a consortium called 'White Hart' to buy the naming rights so it could be called 'White Hart Lane' :shrug:

It only makes sense, if we want the biggest bang for our buck, to go to China or the States. Unfortunately, capitalism aside, i also don't see us having the kind of fanbase in either of them countries to build a decent sales pitch on. Of the top ten largest companies in the world, 3 are Chinese, the other 7 are American (it carries on like that quite a way down the table too). Once you look outside of them two countries and lean towards a place where we actually have good relationships (or are ripe for investment, dodgy or otherwise), you're talking Korea (Peace Cup and all the work the players did during, Lee being at the club for a while), Russia (Pav) and perhaps South America (sure i read a piece a while ago about our club being involved in a scheme out there), which isn't actually that bad.

In the final quarter of 2008, the top ten companies trading in the world included (obviously still behind Exxon Mobil, who will one day own the moon, i expect) Gazprom in third (Russian), Petrobras from Brazil, Royal Dutch Shell and creeping in at the back, BHP Billiton, a mineral/mining company, an Australian/UK company.

UK you say?

The BHP Billiton Bowl... :think:

The company has recently cut back on operations, closing two of it's mines in Australia and the US, but with the financial climate as it is at the moment people who have money want to put it somewhere safe where there's less risk. To be honest, i'd say sponsoring a Prem football stadium that sells out, week in/week out, whether it be against Man U or Barcelona, Leyton Orient or Barnet, is an attractive prospect. Just depends where the men in charge are dangling their hooks.

We're a sort of oddity to the rest of the league, hence we get our fair share of live coverage too - it's a very tempting thing i'm sure, so here's hoping that it doesn't end up as the Norbert Dentresangle Dome or some other bizarre name :up:

I just read this and thought it can't be true that the 10 largest companies are just Chinese and American, I've never heard of a big chinese company coming anywhere near the top of the list.

1. HSBC (UK)
2. GE (US)
3. Bank of America (US)
4. JP Morgan (US)
5. ExxonMobil (US)
6. Royal Dutch Shell (UK/NL)
7. BP (UK)
8. Toyota (Japan)
9. ING (NL)
=10. RBS (UK)
=10 Berkshire Hathaway (US)

Source: Forbes Global 2000

By the way the top chinese company comes in at number 30, PetroChina.

So out of the 11 companies in the top 10; 5 are American, 3 British, 1 Dutch, 1 Japanese and 1 joint British and Dutch.

The only one with any major sponsorship credentials in sport, well in the UK at least, is RBS. Don't forget although the banks have had a bit of a cash flow problem of late, they still control astronomical assets and are still, in the most part, reporting profits.

Can't see any of the top companies touching this at the moment, would seem frivolous to investors and customers.

I geniunely don't think anyone will be interested at the kind of money we want for at least the next couple of years, there's just too much risk involved at the moment.

EDIT: Just noticed that was last years list, this years looks like this:
1. GE (US)
2. Royal Dutch Shell (UK/NL)
3. Toyota (Japan)
4. ExxonMobil (US)
5. BP (UK)
6. HSBC (UK)
7. AT&T (US)
8. Walmart (US)
=9. Santander (Spain)
=9. Chevron (US)
