' We have a new shirt sponsor '

Fri Jun 14, 2013 12:52 pm

A while ago, Tan explained why he decided to put 'Malaysia' as shirt sponser out of his own pocket.

I don't want to go into the whole issue about his 'plan' or exchange comments about us becoming Malaysia FC bla bla bla but he spoke about generating interest and getting the Malaysian Government to eventually become involved and pay for the sponsorship. They would alter the sponser to 'Visit Malaysia'.

It would appear that this has now come to fruition. I believe that next seasons shirts will have 'Visit Malaysia' on them.

Whether we are receiving a fee is unknown and I suppose we won't know until the accounts are published for this financial year.

Shirt sponsorship in the premier league is big bucks so I can't imagine any businessman not taking advantage of this opportunity to generate, potentially, a few million pounds. I would be disappointed if it turns out that we have banked a grand total of f**k all for it.

VT's ultimate goal in Malaysia is a betting licence to run online gambling for all non-Muslim's in that country.

The UMNO party have been successfully returned to power at the recent General Elections but with a decreased over all majority. It appears the sizable Chinese ethnic minority (25%) have deserted the party in droves and they need to reach out to them.

Oddly giving the Chinese a legal way to bet is one of those ways.

So it wouldn't surprise me at all if VT has financed the 'Visit Malaysia' shirt sponsorship just so he gets his beloved licence in the not too distant future.

It looks like it has, it's not the the side view pictures of the shirt. Pretty lazy, they could have taken a new picture of the shirt.

How the fk can they change the design on the day of the release????. False advertising for every preorder?!?!?.

Most unprofessional owner ever.

Definitely has "Visit Malaysia" on the front. One of the girls from the club shop just retweeted a picture of a young boy wearing the new shirt with the Premier League badges and numbers/lettering.

The decision to add 'Visit' on to the top was only decided last week, also the goalkeeper tops have been sent over and will be similar to the green GK top we had in 10/11 with the black stripes etc but no badges are on them.

a kick in the teeth for anyone who already went out and bought the red kit but people will get the hint soon all tan cares about is the premiership money thats what keeps a club in this division not ticket sales and not merchandising he has got his 20000+ season tickets and anyone got anything to say he will throw that in yer face and tell you the fans support him never mind the fact that even the supporters club were singing we'll always be blue at him last month (drunk some of them too, no arrests though steve borley) on the plus side at least 'visit malaysia' looks more like an advert. malaysia on its own looked like they national shirt

The 'visit' part on th sponsor just looks so out of place on the shirt.

Excuse me but why are people moaning about the Malaysia on our tops? No one cared when Ben Turner had 'MALAYSIA' on his top when he scored an equaliser against Liverpool did they? It looks better in person trust me. That photo is clearly photoshopped.

:lol: How long have you been watching football in general ? not just City. I believe charges have been brought against Carson Yeung today for 60 million quids worth of money laundering, but, no, that's just small fry compared to a shirt sponsorship. :lol:

Our fans have been complaining about the Malaysia crap being put everywhere around our club for about two years now, not just since the rebrand.
