No shirt sponsors, for one night only
What a spectacle the clash between Lyon and Liverpool at the Stade Gerland was. The stage was set after the speculation surrounding Rafa’s job but all-in-all it was a drab affair, Ryan Babel’s 30-yard stunner being the only highlight worth mentioning. But it was for a more trivial matter that the game was so enjoyable.

While we are at it – lets just make anything that is fun at all illegal. Including sport!

I wouldn’t take it that far but I’d certainly love to see all advertising removed from the strips, including the not so inconspicuous 3 stripes of Adidas but I realise it’s a pipe dream.

the revenue clubs get from shirt sponsors and other sponsors is so important considering many are in huge amounts of debt or just struggling financially in general.
before everyone goes around claiming shirt sponsors shouldnt exist, just think about what that might mean for your club is all im saying.
for example, id much rather see liverpool (my club) with carlsberg on their shirt than see them go into administration. however unlikely that is.

Sam I noted above that Liverpool just broke their 17 year partnership with Carlsberg and will be receiving another 5 Million per season from their new shirt sponsors Standard Chartered as well as an 80 Million deal with 188bet, the owners might have no idea but the staff will keep the club running.
As much as I hate Liverpool I really don’t want to see the club go bankrupt, I miss the old United – Leeds battles and it would be a tragedy if Liverpool were to go down the same road.

The best strip of the season is Manchester City’s. It only has the small Emirates logo in the top corner.
I have no opposition to sponsorship on shirts, and they don’t really influence me. I would hate to be associated with anything Liverpool, and would try not to buy any of the products associated with the club. But, I really love my Carlsberg’s.
