"The strains of Z-Cars echoing around the towering Goodison Stands would herald the arrival of Everton in those famous Royal Blue jerseys and white shorts, running out onto a pristine green Goodison turf... a special moment guaranteed to bring out the goose-bumps in every true-blue Evertonian."
We don't need "rousing hymns" like the Welsh, FFS, trashy pop songs (Bolton et al) or Wagner (Adolf Hitler) to get us going. -

so you don't want it dropped ?I've got a little bone to chew with you Charlie . You wrote a derogatory thread to me a while a go, slagging Aussie and Asian beer . I have noticed in the recent times Evertons main sponsor is an Asian brewer. Or haven't you notice ? -

Have you ever been wrong? It probably doesn't rouse you because you're thousands of miles away, I don't normally respond to people who are obviously anglers but you are a proper Muppet.

Not very often is the answer to your question and Muppet ............. is that good or bad ? -

I'm 50/50 on that deal to be honest.
Financially, it is awful, which is in fairness the perspective you are talking about it from.
However, wealth creation is happening in different parts of the world now to those it used to. And that deal would get us noticed by anyone in that part of the world looking to buy a premier league team. That might be small beer, but there are enough people wanting new owners.
Its kind of like the inverse of the liverpool standard chartered deal. The bank wanted to take its brand further into far eastern markets and parted with a lot of cash to get that. Everton wanted to take its buyable brand into the far east and parted with the chance to sign a contract on decent money in order to get that.

True... The prem has yet to see a properly financed far eastern move though, should it happen at all.
Other than Carson Yeung's Birmingham... which ...well... what can you say about that.

They don't appear to have embraced football to the same level as the western world... I'd be more interested to see us seek to exploit the plucky underdog tag in America... -

you've probably hit the nail on the head T.C. , China is opening up to a degree to the outside world and their football is improving at a rate of knots. With such a massive population, the influence of getting your foot in at ground floor level seems a good idea for the future. -

The yanks would not only change your theme song, they would eventually alter the game out of all recognition. Four quarters , time outs, and kick specialist coming on to take free kick .... no no no to the Yanks getting into our game Cheer leaders ? yes, as long they are not like the fat ones over here. -

Well, you could say the jury is still out on that....its been expected but hasn't really even looked like happened as yet...will it happen? I haven't got a clue.
The US... imagine football operating under a draft system. Its a strange one though as you'd probably have to say that liverpools two owners have only seen decline in terms of the money spent and Villa are pretty poor too.

Association with a popular brand also attracts fans. If we had no football in Britain, and a foreign team had "Drink Engish Ale" on its shirts, I would support that team. The TV companies would note my interest and broadcast more of that team's games, so they would get more TV income and more exposure and, therefore, more fans buying shirts. Given that China is the largest of the growing economies, I would have thought that a Chinese brewer, or retailer of any mass-market product, would be a better sponsor. I can't see much money coming from Thailand. 25% of its GDP comes from the sector called "Other". This means, in laymans' terms, selling sex to fat, ugly, skint Western men who can't get it at home.
Howdy, Stranger!
