QPR's £7m Gulf Air sponsorship deal ends
Queens Park Rangers (QPR) football club is parting company with shirt sponsor Gulf Air after three years, and is on the hunt for a replacement commercial partner to leverage its promotion to the Premier League.

Gulf Air: QPR deal comes to an end
The club is in talks with a number of prospective new sponsors about a multimillion-pound deal, sources have disclosed to Marketing.

A spokesman for the club confirmed that QPR and Gulf Air have parted company.

Gulf Air has been QPR's main sponsor since signing a £7m three-year deal in 2008, with the gulfair.com web address appearing on the team's shirts.

Lotto is the club's technical sponsor.

QPR is owned by business ty**** Lakshmi Mittal and his family, Flavio Briatore and Formula 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone. Gulf Air is owned by the Kingdom of Bahrain.

The club, which is managed by Neil Warnock, was promoted to the Premier League after winning the Championship this year.

Though they lie. The Mittals do not own us :(

I know for a fact that we have DONE a deal with Apple as our new shirt sponsor - 100% fact. Paperwork has been signed.

Now if this proves not to be the case no problem as it will be passed off as "this is what this site is all about" etc. etc.

Why any doom and gloom over this news?

It was a 3 year deal - 2008 to 2011 - end of.

Who wants to be associated with Gulf Air in the current political climate?

I would expect any new deal to be worth more than the 7M one negotiated for a Championship team.

No doom and gloom here

Blackpool's sponsor last season would be perfect for our owners www.wonga.com

You are most probably quite right on this.

If I were a cynic though, I'd spout nonsense about this happening on the same day as Ecclestone has announced that there will definitely not be a Grand Prix in Bahrain.
