McFaul 35 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I feel ill even having to post an argument against Wonga it should be anathema to all on here. Should be ashamed of yourselves. Agreed. "You are so right mate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 14639 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 This sends out all the wrong signals. The club has a duty to interact positively with the community not give ad space to vultures rummaging through the pounds and pennies of people who find themselves on hard times. This is absolutely wrong on every fuckin level. Ok how are Northern Rock morally superior to Wonga?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I can honestly say I couldn't care less that 'Wonga' will be on our shirts instead of 'Virgin'. As others have said I'd have issue if they were going to sponsor the stadium too but then I think I'll have issues with whoever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6308 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I can't beleive people are defending this. I'm not defending anything. I'm just not getting the hump with the fact that Wonga want to pay more money than Virgin did to stick their name on the shirt. I don't agree with their business principles but I chose to deal with that by not engaging them in business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 3997 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Newcastle United has agreed a new four-year deal with wonga.com which will make the digital finance company the Club's lead commercial sponsor. In addition to sponsoring the team shirt from the start of the 2013/14 season and working on a range of other initiatives with fans, Wonga will invest at least £1.5m in two of the Club's most important projects. Wonga is investing in Newcastle United's young talent by providing significant financial support for the Academy. The investment will enable the Club to transform its Academy into one of the leading centres of youth football development in the country, enabling us to nurture the top playing stars of the future. The Academy has around 150 boys between the ages of nine and 18 on its books. In addition to standard evening and weekend training sessions, the Academy has 35 boys attending on weekday afternoons from Monday to Thursday for classroom learning as well as training. Wonga has also committed to invest in the Newcastle United Foundation Enterprise Scheme. The existing programme helps 15-16 year-olds find employment by developing their skills and experience through practical and educational courses. Wonga's investment will vastly expand the scheme and help more young people in the North-East in their future careers. Other initiatives with Wonga will include a straight talking forum with the fans for discussing ideas for fan involvement in the Club and working on a specific new initiative to involve fans in the design of the shirt. Derek Llambias, Managing Director of Newcastle United, said: "We are building a club that can regularly compete for top honours at the highest level. "As everyone knows, a strong commercial programme is vital to this goal and I am delighted to welcome Wonga into the fold as our lead commercial partner, alongside Puma and Sports Direct. "Throughout our discussions Wonga's desire to help us invest in our young playing talent, the local community and new fan initiatives really impressed us and stood them apart from other candidates." Wonga provides small, short-term loans online and via smartphones. To date the company has provided over six million loans, while generating industry-leading satisfaction rates from customers. Errol Damelin, founder and CEO of Wonga said: "We're really proud to be involved with Newcastle United. "It is one of the biggest and most important clubs in the UK by any measure and has a fantastic following around the world. We're also really excited about investing in future stars both on and off the field. The Academy and the Enterprise Scheme gives us the opportunity to make a big difference. "We have just launched our small business offering and there are more great products to come. We know our customers love football and it goes without saying that, alongside Newcastle United, we will continue to support Blackpool and SFA Cup Winners Hearts."

Toonpack 6897 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 As you clearly illustrate without having the self-acualisation to realise it banks loan to people who are capable of fighting back. These other scum are predators who feed off the vulernable. Are they not? Utter rubbish, they impose charges with impunity and when you do need help they tell you to do one, irrespective of any years of history you may have had of being a "good customer". Many years ago I was deep in the crap (involved in litigation as the plaintiff, which I eventually won - YAY!!) and I have seen the "caring side" of banks and other organisations first hand. What percentage of Wonga customers use roll-over from other similar lenders compared to customers who may use them as a short term bridging service. If you can't provide the facts it's just supposition on your part and my question remains: where's the pressure come from that creates the need to bridge ??

Park Life 70 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 They've re-named St James' Park commonly refered to by 98% of the football public as St James' park - St James' Park.

McFaul 35 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 people that can't see past this ludicrous PR stunt. The shirt plus stadium deal was banded about at £10m a year. They've probably said we'll pay £8m a year and no more, and come to an agreement that the stadium reverts to SJP. A PR triumph for Ashley, and a PR triumph for Wonga, straight away seen as the good guys, and won't face any outpouring of negativity towards renaming a 120 year old stadium. There are some gullible fuckers out there. Toonpack just fuck off pal. I'd love to meet you to see if you're this much of a cunt in person. Ashley could open concentration camps and you'd find some positive words for the fat cunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
