Conor Skelly 2 Posted 16/07/2012 at 21:49:36 Get the game and bribe the team we play to make sure we win. If we beat AC or Madrid in front of millions of people who are undecided about their footy club it would be worth untold money. That's what a real CEO would do. Tony Rice 3 Posted 16/07/2012 at 22:48:34 Rangers ? Eugene Ruane 4 Posted 16/07/2012 at 22:48:20 - "Hello" he lied. Noel Early 5 Posted 17/07/2012 at 00:10:04 Hmmmmm... working 24/7 no doubt. Eric Myles 6 Posted 17/07/2012 at 02:34:53 I hope he asked Chang why there's no pictures of the Everton players on their cans of beer, only Barcelona and Real Madrid.At least with a connection to those 2 maybe it will be one of them that we get to play? Ray Roche 8 Posted 17/07/2012 at 09:25:54 Real Madrid? I seem to remember we were on the receiving end of a 6-1 drubbing in 1987 (ish).......a repeat of that wouldn't do our reputation much good in Thailand. Andrew McLean 9 Posted 18/07/2012 at 19:52:32 Good point Eric. As I recall, if one is leaving Bangkok on one of the main roads there's a mamoth sized Singha advert that adorns the whole side of a very tall building that has artwork showing Drogba and Anelka and other Chelsea playersI've also seen the entire length of a BTS train in Bangkok have Man U artwork of players and Logo over the carriages.I can't say that in my travels in LOS I've ever seen a single Everton & chang related advert David Bridge 10 Posted 19/07/2012 at 23:01:55 Unless we get our wish and get rid of him and BK... Eric Myles 11 Posted 20/07/2012 at 04:28:31 Andrew, during the World Cup they had pictures of Pienaar around Bangkok in his Everton shirt.That's the only promotion I've seen except in the Chang Sports Bars where they used to give out Everton freebies. Eric Myles 12 Posted 20/07/2012 at 07:30:06 Given the money the billionaire owner of Chang is splashing about these days maybe he could be persuaded to put some more into sponsorship?http://in.reuters.com/article/2012/07/18/fn-ocbc-offer-idINDEE86H00S20120718 Add Your Comments In order to post a comment, you need to be logged in as a registered user of the site. » Log in now Or Sign up as a ToffeeWeb Member — it's free, takes just a few minutes and will allow you to post your comments on articles and Talking Points submissions across the site.
