Do they have the funds to pay players flights etc?

 

[ldamico]

nah they'll be hitchhiking to Perth next round

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

im sure the bloke that owns all them pokies will pull out the cash the blues need. but seriously shouldn't be a big problem for them getting another major sponsor

They'll land on their feet. No biggie.
Just a short term inconvenience.

A million dollar hole isn't a short term inconvenience.

This is from the same OP who said Carlton wouldn't win a game this season.

What is it with Trigg and shams

- Tippett's sham Balfour deal at Adelaide
- Getting a sham company as major sponsor

See you in China guys

obviously blues would prefer that this didnt happen but some things are beyond a football clubs control. my understanding is that the blues will have a particularly good year financially this year.

First Daisy's contract...now this....coincidence?

 

[Gersman]

More of an annoying disruption than anything.

 

[_Cayz_]

Eh, it's Carlton. They should have no issues securing a new major sponsor.

daisy is paying carlton

the blues will have no issues finding a replacement

Let's revisit this a months time shall we?

They won't have any issues finding a replacement, a club of their history and stature you can be assured of that.
Maybe drop the "they're ****ed" charade. Very little share your concern.

 

[Dr Whoooooooo]

OMG ... what a surprise.

I find it interesting that people are saying Carlton will have no difficulty finding a replacement sponsor.

Acquire Learning an associated company of CareerOne was their shorts sponsor. Gone.
CareerOne became their shorts sponsor and one of their two main shirt sponsors along with Hyundai.

Potentially not only a shirt sponsor but also a shorts sponsor needs to be found.

A thread from November 2015 gives an interesting insight into Carlton at that time;
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/handing-the-keys-to-the-afl-carltons-situation.1117308/

How far have they progressed?

And as far as this being beyond the club's control, I mentioned in the thread cited above;
https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/thre...rltons-situation.1117308/page-3#post-41950416

Would also have thought having 2 of your main sponsors effectively being the one company and one that operates in an industry under increasing scrutiny is less than ideal.

Can't help but feel that Carlton's contingency planning extends to asking Bruce and Jeannie for another handout.

 

[Shane Hird]

Riveting news. Simply astonishing.

The AFL will just throw them the million, no problem.

In which case they should be denined. Poor business decisions are their own problem.

Interesting too given two clubs don't have a back-of-jumper sponsor right now.
