ohhh_yeah 2930 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 http://platformlondon.org/2012/06/26/blowing-the-whistle-on-sunderland-fcs-oil-sponsorship-deal/ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I'm sure they'd rather watch Papiss Cisse than...err...I think Sessengnon is going err..., who do they have? Frazier Campbell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monroe Transfer 0 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 How much are they actually getting paid for it? Not a penny, unless I'm much mistaken. To be fair to them, that's a noble gesture. Similar thing to Villa's Acorn sponsorship deal a few years bacl and Barca's UNICEF deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) 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 . 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 Edited June 26, 2012 by Howay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should put that on their shirts too - 'Sunderland, Near Newcastle' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 30167 Posted June 27, 2012 Share Posted June 27, 2012 There's a reason that other clubs haven't chosen to exploit Africa's commercial market, it's because the Africans have no fucking money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
