There's a huge, growing population – the biggest young population on the planet is in Africa, and they are football-mad. Sunderland will become the Premier League club in Africa. Everybody will be wearing the Sunderland shirt, every kid in every school will want a Sunderland shirt which says 'Invest in Africa', believe me. It will be the number one club, so what you are looking at is a huge market and huge exposure, and Sunderland will have that exposure.

Again regards to the above quote - isn't the idea that it encourages people to invest in Africa rather than impoverished African children to somehow invest in Sunderland? :lol:

They're getting £3m a season apparently, it's not a charity funding it it's Tullow oil who are paying them to advertise this 'Invest in Africa' thing.

Not sure why they think they're suddenly going to be really popular in Africa mind, just because the word Africa appears on the shirt :lol:.

 

Edit: Didn't see the link Fish posted.

 

Still it's bizarre how they think they'll be so popular considering their only African player is Sessegnon who's from a country with a population of under 10m. The usual suspects are bound to be the most popular as they are the best sides, why would an African pick Sunderland? when they could just pick Man utd/City :lol:

Well Sunderland is near Newcastle, and we have Tiote, Ba and Cisse.

 

They should put that on their shirts too - 'Sunderland, Near Newcastle'
