Got to agree it is a really ugly logo.

It is. Don't understand it at all. It's all Greek to me.

Just the home kit again. Charity on away kit again this year? Not sure the club is in a position to be giving up advertising space to charity for free/cheap.

Stat sports is the sponsor for the away shirt

AFCCOVENTRY · Jun 8, 2015

I would rather Stat Sports were on the home shirt.

Some tin pot property firm is rubbish. It's not as if it's Hamptons International or Savills.

Seriously...must be such a cheap sponsorship deal.

mrbluesky87 · Jun 8, 2015

As long as that's the only Allsopp coming back this season then I don't care.

pusbccfc · Jun 8, 2015

Awful logo. Hopefully they adapt it to the home and away kit colours rather than planting big dark square in the middle of a sky blue shirt.

Atleast they used the Dubai photo for the article

What is the business, who are these brothers and are they wealthy ? Also do they have friends in Dubai ?

Gint11 · Jun 8, 2015

I went to school in Coventry with Carl and Lewis and I know Carl better. They are leading the way over in Dubai in their market and quite frankly smashing it. So much so they have branched out and decided to set up in their home town of Coventry. Both good lads from a good family and are Sky blue through and through. Why any of you would slag them off or say 'tin pot property firm' is beyond me and is massively ignorant.

Just re-read it and see they are in property business, whatever that entails.

Quite. Only takes a quick look at the website to see they are employing a relatively large number of people in a country known for its wealth. They can't be doing too badly.

At the end of the day, we are in league one and get little tv coverage and low crowds. We aren't going to be attracting the large companies we did in the past for sponsorship. It is always going to be a company with a local connection and, at the end of the day, if they offered the most money who cares who they are!

tbh, if they've got the money then fair play. If they have even more and would like to build us a ground then more fair play

the multinational with sites in Dubai and Coventry does remind me a bit of ageing rock bands however, who play Vienna, Madrid, Paris, Berlin... Rhyl.

You forget that most on here are on the boards of FTSE 100 companies.

It's coz of SISU, ain't it? The club and everything associated with it has to be slagged off at any opportunity.

Now... I have no clue what the deal is, and if it's more than City Link then it's certainly fair play to the club, that's done well. It's also encouraging Coventry firms more inclined to be associated with the club nowadays than a season or two back, also.

There will be the caveat however, that the club (at SCG?) made comments about the inept commercial deals made with the Cassidys for their sponsorship (another local company done well) so they did put their head above the parapit with those criticisms, that if they don't get the commercial revenue above that, then they've not done fabulously.

Current sponsors came in when not many others would touch us and had an option for this year by the sound of it. Doubt it would be more than city link, we aren't the advertising proposition we were when City Link came in (and look how things worked out for them).

No, I'd be surprised. It is just (as per usual!) the club handed the stick over to beat themselves with, with the odd ill-advised comment.

We did well with City Link I suppose, to get the cash before they went belly up!

They went belly up because we took their cash...

I think it was increased competition in the delivery sector, but blaming SISU is so much more fun!

Exactly!!! unbelievable. 2 Covkids making a shedload and looking to invest in the City and the club.....We have much to be thankful and respectful for.

Shirt sponsorship deals in our league have a value starting at 50-100k. It's not easy to sell. Some clubs in the past have sold them on a match by match basis to local businesses for 2k.

I'm guessing that's why we have separate home and away sponsors.

The impression I got of that deal was it was a freebie in exchange for free use of their services and software/equipment. This sort of arrangement is not unheard of in football. Sold plenty of these myself as they are relatively common in Motorsport.
