Azerbajan, Land Of Fire - Shirt Sponsor

[@owlstalk]

 

What was the story behind this?

Does anyone know/remember?

Mammadov

 

False promises, false Dawn's.

 

We must have been proper desperate at that point

 

 

[robowl4life]

Weren’t Athletico Madrid sponsored by them too?  

[Guest HillsboroughOwlNI]

Nice stripes though.

Didnt he give us that sponsorship as a sort of good will gesture to show his intentions of actually buying the club.

I think he got it free.

We were the ones desperate for his patronage. 

A man of no substance. 

But people moan at someone who has plowed multi millions of his own money into the club.

Think it was a French club he owned, somehow developed a 10 million euro "hole" in their finances.

Mammadov, Mammadov, Mammadov, Mammadov.

 

Mammadov, Mammadov Mammadovdovdov...

Yes it was because Milan always said he’d only sell us to the right person, not some fly by night trying to make a few quid on the quick like himself .

Not sure what this means or who it refers to. (Chansiri?)

Yes RC Lens. 

Interesting as their stadium has more seats than their population of Lens. 

[owl-zat]

Think I’m right in saying we never got paid for that sponsorship

[Owls-Fan]

I still remember when the deal was announced on our website, was in the afternoon and I was sat at work. Read the news and then had to go upstairs to our stock room to do a little celebration dance and punch the air. Was so happy that finally we were going to be owned by someone who could take us back to the big time.  
 

Needless to say, I felt like a right gimp a few days later. 
 

What I would give for Wednesday to be successful again. Sigh

Unless you know of someone else who has plowed multi millions into the club?

Don’t think people moan about the money being put in but more how it has been absolutely spaffed up the wall

Chansiri  has done his best, It hasn't worked out but at least he tried. Plenty are willing to take money out of the club And moan moan moan.

It's all well and good ploughing millions of your own cash in to something, the bad thing is not knowing what your ploughing millions into which in turn leads to even bigger problems.

No one can say Chansiri hasn't put his money in but by feck has he made a balls up of it.
