Stadt Posted 11 October 2019 Share Posted 11 October 2019 We already have an official betting partner, it’s not that we’d morally turn it down it’s just that we’ve probably not been approached with a big enough offer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play. A lot of people I’ve spoken to about this before said they would feel more strongly against a betting company than an alcoholic drinks company. Which I think is ridiculous IMO.

goose2010 Posted 11 October 2019 Share Posted 11 October 2019 (edited) The good thing gambling is illegal in Thailand (apart from the lotto and on coarse horse racing in Bangkok) so it would surprise me if we go down that route.

We should be pulling £10m easy. Or King power can just pump another 6 million in, its back pocket change to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommo220 Posted 11 October 2019 Share Posted 11 October 2019 I reckon we are way too valuable to the KP brand to let someone else be emblazoned across our shirt. imagine how it'll look in Bangkok airport - King Power touting it around that they own the plucky 2015/16 darlings of English Football, then next to one of their shops there's 40ft Andy King Billboard with "Londis"as the shirt sponsor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 12 October 2019 Share Posted 12 October 2019 Forest being a big club is an absolute myth. If people are totally, utterly honest, the three clubs are all quite similar sized. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby had the 2 titles in the 70s great achievement, forest had the 2 European cup wins great . achievement, we had the premier win great achievement , all 3 clubs have done great things at different times ,at the moment we are pulling away due to being in a higher league, more money, new training ground and ground expansion but things can change.

Dan LCFC Posted 12 October 2019 Share Posted 12 October 2019 Manchester United is hard to reject but I think if you had any sense you would realise going there is going to set your career back a good five years, certainly in Rodgers' case. He was considered by many a joke figure post Liverpool (harshly really in my opinion) so if he was to then go to Manchester United and fail (and he would, it's a poisoned chalice, anyone will fail there) his reputation would be in tatters.
