If we won the European cup with a 90th minute winner some on here would moan about something.

Pros: Nice pay cheque

Cons: Nike kits are always plain and boring

yeah...no red trim i reckon

...most would've left !!!

No course not, just cant believe people are whining instead of either saying nothing or just enjoying 'positive news' for the club. So much negativity on this forum, sometimes it could be confused with a 'manic depressives' forum. Even good news gets mugged off with doom and gloom comments.

The thing is I'm sure the board has got us the best deal they could, but this is just a kit supplier deal at the end of the day, and could have been any number of decent sports kit manufacturers, and we'd have had to have one or the other, and I might be getting old, but I couldn't really give a tinker's cuss which one it is.

Yes they do want to be associated with us, of course they do . The maylasian airlines link and proposed new stadium make us a massive pull actually.

Yeah, I'm sure the stadium that wont be ready until long after this deal expires was a real key factor.

Not sure why you're on such a mission on the subject anyway, nobody's saying it's a bad thing at all, just not getting falsely excited either.

A Member of watrb is walking down oxford street and he finds an unopened wage packet of a city trader with thousands of pounds in it.
His mate says, 'wow, what a stroke of luck, thats blinding you lucky g it. But why do you look so down and sad and suicidal still?'
Memeber of Watrb replies 'Just look at the fu cking tax im paying'.

Yep, that would definitely happen, and is definitely the same thing as a kit deal.

Lets hope they are paying decent money

Nah fark it,,i cant bite my lip and keep quiet. This forum is a farking joke and some of you moaners should be ashamed of yourselves. This is brilliant news and a real coup to get a massive world wide major company like Nike involved and is great news for a small championship club like us. Terrific work by the people behind the scenes who sort this stuff out, and five years will be worth bundles and is a huge amount of time and contract. You lot who do what you do every day, just keep on whinging and whining on as per usual though yeah. What is it you actually want from this football club? Cos i honestly dont think you will ever get it. Rant over.

Some very good points hidden amongst the frustration.

Was thinking of buying one of the long sleeve home shirts on Saturday as they are half price but...I dunno...the material is about the same quality as what they use to make cheap flags. Hopefully Nike will do a much better job.

[californiahoop]

Cant see no frenzys, can just see some people saying its good news, cos they are intelligent enough to know a five year deal with the worlds biggest sports company can only be worth money to the club, and equals good progress taking the club forwards.
Or do you think we are paying them and it could make the club skint and close down?

lol

Wasn't the Lotto deal paying huge sums based on QPR in the prem?....We spent 3 of that 5 year deal in the championship, so not sure how much we got from them....probably be the same with Nike
