Gulf Air Contract

[Yousef]

A bit of politics but related to QPR. As the government of Bahrain is currently killing its own peaceful people who are asking for democracy, I wish we do not renew Gulf Air contract next season as it belongs to the government of Bahrain. If anyone close to the top management, please pass this message.

I have just witten an email to the club asking them not to renew the contract.

Good point, I hadn't considered that!

Gulf Air contract is up this season anyway.

With regards to the Lotto contract can anyone remember what the increase in it will be if we get promoted to the PL (thats a 5 year deal)?

Last I heard it's still a Rollover so good time to win it.

Fingers crossed Umbro buy it out.

Why would Lotto do that the reason they bought in to us was on the basis that we would be a Premier League side within a couple of seasons.

I'm sure our kit deal improves to £7 million a season?

Well done on sticking to your principles, but i can hardly see them making multi million pound marketing decisions based on a "two bob email"

Remember we are the £20 fans only.

Ah.........Umbro backed by Nike. Umbro do not have a London PL side in their portfolio. I know they want one. Fulham got a great deal off Kappa and West Ham were forced by their financial circumstances to do a very cheap (but retained ALL profit on sales through their own channels only) with Macron.

If the Lotto deal is worth £7m per season in the Prem, that's the 6th highest deal in the PL and in the top 20 in Europe. Spurs current deal with Puma only worth £5m a season. Stunning deal if true.

You'd get more joy with an email to Charlie Sale at the Mail or David Conn at The Guardian. Might elicit some sort of statement from the club.

Interesting one.

Similar arguments could be made for the clubs that use Nike. It's very well known that Nike use child labour and pay very small sums of money to people to make their clothes in places like India and China. Haven't heard Man Utd or Arsenal kicking up a fuss.

Why not give the club a chance to respond first. The least you can do before giving the press more reason to give us bad publicity.

Apologies - didn't take the view it was bad publicity - just an aid to request information. Didn't look at that angle and suppose it could be given the FA charges etc. Hold fire Yousef! Ellerslie is spot on. Give the club 5 days or so to see if you get a response.

NB - totally different from Nike though. Not as if thousands of Nike employees are randomly slaughtering their own people.
