As tainted as it is in the way that this will only further line those cunts pockets, it is refreshing to see that the club are actually starting to play hard ball and not get dry bummed like the paltry Carlsberg deal we've had. Finally our standing and prestige is starting to be mirrored off the pitch. The equal largest record sponsorship in Football history is impressive.

Under normal circumstances this would be really good news. When you know that this money is only going to increase the value of the club and will probably be used to service debts, things suddenly change.

 

:-(

 

Well better standard charter paying our interest than our transfer budget again.

True , They do most clubs aswell dont they ?

 

They have something to do with the Mancs, all I know is that they take tickets from regular fans, inflate the price, add a hotel room and re-sell them to people who are guaranteed to go the club shop.

 

And then have the nerve to advertise it at the match.

I know I know and like you say they do do it for alot of other clubs , an absolute rip off and piss take but the worst thing is People actually pay for them , thats what I dont get . Again its the owners , if it werent for them this ,perhaps, wouldnt be so bad.

Liverpool FC and Standard Chartered Bank announced today they had agreed a four year deal for the bank to become the club's main sponsor - the largest commercial agreement in Liverpool's history.

The agreement, which starts in July 2010 and runs through to the end of the 2013-14 season, will see the bank's name and logo appear on the Liverpool shirt.

 

Liverpool FC is the most successful club in English football, enjoying a global following most recently evidenced in its highly successful pre-season tour of Singapore and Thailand. As official club sponsors, Standard Chartered will enjoy a major rights package which will provide the platform to significantly step up the Bank's brand awareness across its core markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

 

Standard Chartered PLC, listed on both London and Hong Kong stock exchanges, ranks among the top 25 companies in the FTSE-100 by market capitalisation. The Bank has more than doubled its revenue and profits over the last five years and has performed consistently well, delivering record results throughout the recent financial crisis.

 

Christian Purslow, Managing Director of Liverpool Football Club, pictured above signing the contract alongside Standard Chartered chairman John Peace, commented: "This partnership brings together two highly successful organisations with a really strong cultural and strategic fit. The sponsorship opportunity attracted a huge level of interest from a wide array of globally recognised brands and in Standard Chartered we believe we have the ideal partner to move forward and help develop our global ambitions for the club. It is a real sign of the progress we have made at Liverpool that we have been able to secure the largest ever commercial deal in our history."

 

Peter Sands, Group Chief Executive of Standard Chartered PLC, said: "This is a great partnership. We are excited to be working with such a famous global brand as Liverpool Football Club for the next four years. This is an outstanding opportunity for Standard Chartered, our customers and shareholders, and for Liverpool, its players and fans

 

"We see many opportunities to continue growing our business, particularly as Asia, Africa and the Middle East are emerging from the global downturn more quickly than the West. This sponsorship will drive a step change in brand recognition in our key markets and will provide an additional catalyst for our business growth."

 

Stay tuned to Liverpoolfc.tv for further reaction to this landmark sponsorship deal throughout the day.
