Our Shirt Sponsor

Sun May 13, 2012 10:18 pm

with the Malaysians going on about 'revenue' and 'income' and the fact our club can't go on the way it is without investment? does anyone know if we get any income off our 'Malaysia' shirt sponsor?

im really confused whether we get any money from it? surely a country can't sponsor us? it might be a silly question but i'v just been wondering!... i'm sure we could get a massive Malaysian business (like what QPR got) sponsoring us, which must bring a fair bit of money into the club! surely a bigger sponsor must bring in alot more income than selling a few more shirts in asia?

call it a silly question but i just wanted to know the answer to it! :lol: :ayatollah:

I doubt we get income from it. If it was a major Malaysian airway or hotel chain then fair enough

thats what i thought, so surely if money is such a problem why can't they get a decent shirt sponsor which brings in more money?

I'm almost certain it was reported that VT put the money in for the sponsor.
And offered more than what was on offer from "normal sponsors"
From memory I think it was 200k

Only one that beat it was the 666 ball or whatever they were called, a reported 250k but lated one game :lol: super dodgy :lol:
