Carlton lose major sponsor

[Arctic fox]

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;

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

So, no Major sponsor. Maybe Major tom might be interested. Or Colonel sanders might want a go.
I guess the boys will have to play in their budgie smugglers.

Do they have the funds to pay players flights etc?

The truth about Daisy comes out.

It wasn't so altruistic afterall. He was basically forced to forfeit his rights or forget about playing again this year.

Must have sent SOS in to renegotiate

 

[HairyO]

Just need to wait for AD to set up another sham company which exists solely to rort taxpayers and then they can announce their new major sponsor.

 

[Tushay]

Let's revisit this a months time shall we?

Sure, in a months time...

We will have a new sponsor and you will have a new coach, and everyone will be happy.

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

How is the relationship with the AFL going?

CareerOne has strengthened its involvement in Australia’s biggest game, becoming the official recruitment partner of the AFL.

If they need some cash they could just get a loan from Judd, just borrow the $1 mil back that he received when he retired.

I wish Mars was still a Blues sponsor - helped us all work rest and play.
Spose AVCO isn't around still?

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Mick Gatto Inc to fill the void.

Would be a more ethical businessman than Demetriou, Wall and the rest of the crooks behind CareerOne / Acquire / G1X.

Carlton have more than enough white collar criminals in their supporter base to cover the shortfall.

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

They evolved into GE Money who have evolved into something else.

Or Colonel sanders might want a go.

Maybe we'll re-draft Lance Whitnall while we're at it.

 

[brucetiki]

not unhappy RTO scams are up there with payday loans

And Carlton have had payday lenders sponsor them in the past too (Avco)

 

[JohnnyFontane90]

best news i've heard all year. now we just need to get FIAT onboard

 

[Coops93]

Private RTO does a dodgy deal.

Colour me surprised

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

Technically he's correct.

Why would he 'fill the void'.

He is a Collingwood supporter.

Best you do your research first!!
