It’s 20M a year wasted because he’s too tight to outsource it to a marketing company and tried and failed to do it himself. Bejam / Byrite cunt

Could have given the rights to a local charity for a season ffs
£20m a year wasted? How/why do you think that?

Why would he outsource if he thinks leaving it as it is has more value?
 
Bezos will only do it if we change our name to Tottenhamazon Hotsprime!
...which I can imagine Levy seriously considering!
 
Nobody thinks leaving it without a sponsor does more for our 'brand'?

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium being mentioned all the time does more for us when football is being shown (as well as all the other sports and events) than the Amazon Stadium would do IMO.
I love the fact we haven't sold out yet. I know it won't be for ever, but I'm enjoying the fact that it is the Club's name that is mentioned, not some commercial enterprise that may not be around in 5 years time.
 
Surely naming rights is worth c.20M annually? If not, drop it to 17M, 16M etc

Outsource the deal for naming rights to a specialist sales team to close a deal

You want naming rights? I could get ya naming rights. Believe me. There are ways, dude, you don't want to know about 'em. Believe me.

***Looks at watch*** Hell, I could get ya naming rights by 3 o'clock this afternoon. WITH a media meet and greet.

Fucking amateurs....
 
I'm never really certain what people have against Amazon, for those of us who don't live in big cities (and in a lot of cases those who do) they're a godsend. When I first came to Spain I craved books in English that were damn hard to find. I can get them the next day now. Hurrah!

So they don't treat workers too well and have some abusive employment practices? No different to most Spanish companies then. How sure are you that your retail vendors of choice treat their employees well. Ever bothered to ask them?

I have, in the case of my local non-national chain supermarket. They get treated like shit. Forced to work Sundays and then the company doesn't pay them overtime, or even wages per se, but credit at the company store, completely illegal. Like lots of other businesses they ignore the Spanish law guaranteeing workers 12 hours' rest between shift and shift.

What makes Amazon more unpleasant?

Agree, but it's a difficult one, as it would yield almost exactly what Conte could do with on the pitch!!! (about 4 extra players this summer, on top of the three we will otherwise haggle until late august for...)

People in retail generally get treated like utter shit.....

Let's not even get started on shit-heads like McDs, KFC, Pizza-Hut etc.
 
Bezos is a prick but no more prickish than most multi billionaire corporation owners. Certainly no worse than our owners, so don't see any reason to draw the moral line there. If we're going to not associate with ruthless businessmen we might as well close the club tomorrow.
