Jeff Schlupp Ltd etc.
Wymsey Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Swap Family Stand with Kop and sure the moaners will accept this.

It's obvious (like with the Krispy Kreme donuts) the club haven't paid for them. It's purely a marketing stunt to get BMW's name out their to the public eye. 19 of these cars is peanuts to BMW. The revenue gained from generated interest in the future is most likely more valuable to them than 19 i8's. I'd wager the club have paid for them, but I'm sure they got a very nice discount.
MPH Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Players may have beaut cars already, so i can see alot of WAGS driving around in these...

They know whatever the outcome it'll still generated media outlets stating the owners have paid for them all. It's exactly what the marketing stunt is meant to do.
whitlock Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Nice gesture from the owners, who cares? Money in football is mental now, £100K present for the players that made history and won the Premier League. Money can't buy enough gifts for what those set of players gave the club and fans last season.
Kitchandro Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Definitely more to this than meets the eye. Maybe this will convince Riyad to stay?

It's exactly what the marketing stunt is meant to do. We'll see what comes out of the club, personally I can't see them advertising it as they'll know many people will moan (see this thread). With the beer and donuts it's more of a taster for people, get people to taste the product... if 2% come back regularly for more, then you'll make your money back and more. Anyway... doesn't matter either way!

Nice gesture but a pretty wasteful and unnecessary one. might be a way of "giving" but less tax ? Edit: note to self...read pages 2 + 3 before replying Doh

GaelicFox Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Seem to remember Franny Lee giving all the man city players a Ford Puma for staying back in the 90's things have moved quickly on a serious point I can't wait till one of these gets auctioned or advertised at some stage be a nice one to have
foxes_rule1978 Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Should have got all the season ticket holders one as well...
ARTY_FOX Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Christ. Some people love to complain.... Why shouldn't they get a car? Who cares if they already have a nicer one? It's up to them what they do. They do enough for us regularly and some of you are moaning that they should of used this cash on the fans? Stop being such entitled tits. You sound like arsenal fans. Nobody wants that....

Guest Col city fan Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 Is there a 'Jeff Schlupp Ltd' and if so does one section of the company know what the other is doing? Team meetings must be confusing?

You know how it works on here
RonnieTodger Posted 5 August 2016 Posted 5 August 2016 It's their money, they can do what they want. Sure - the players wouldn't have to save any money to buy these, but as far as astronomical football wages go, if any sportsmen deserve this kind of reward it's them.
