Most of our fans openly welcomed it, even wrote letters to Tan pleading for it.

Sell outs! The lot of them.

Our re-brand is to make us more attractive in Asia, not just to sell shirts.
If we become a success, I full expect us to be sold to a Chinese businessman. :(

If all younger city fans are plastics does that mean the fans that have been watching the city for 40 years sell outs to the fans that have been watching them for 60-70 years? :lol: I dont get how you can brand someone a plastic because they were born early enough to be a "die hard" city fan :roll:

Its no problem I dont mind people being pissed at VT and the rebranding but to have a go at younger fans for not being able to be apart of the old times is a tad harsh :lol:

You should of pointed out to your mate, that "marketing professionals" could only be considered professionals if they conducted a little marketing practice known as MARKET RESEARCH.

It's quite clear that no one involved with the rebrand did this, as they were so suprised when they received "vociferous opposition" to the changes they planned on.
