United in talks with Tinder for £12m sleeve sponsorship | Tinder team up with City instead
- Thread starter Baxter
- Start date
This threads been funny and cringe-worthy at the same time. Half of you are hilarious, half of you need banning 
Yeah, £12m a year.
Having a dating app on your sleeve and being a laughing stock to everyone in football, all to make barely enough to pay the money we're still giving to Rooney to play for Everton.
That's the way to get United back to the top, isn't it?
Some unbelievable feckwits we have running the club these days
In a world in which many football clubs are actively supporting gambling and pay day loan companies, I can buy into a sponsorship with Tinder. I'm not entirely sure what's all that hilarious about it. Then again, I'm not a fossil.
I really think we should stay clear from Tinder as well. It must be others who want to pay the same amount or more. By others I mean someone with a better reputation.
I think you're overestimating this 'laughing stock' thing. People will laugh for like a day, and then probably sign up to tinder.
our sleeve should be worth £20 million a year, 12m is low balling us.
Woodward should look towards the far east

I like tinder...... it would be cool to have a kit with tinder on the sleeve that I can rock wherever I go.
at the same time, I see how ppl wouldn't wanna be associated with it and the money really isn't much, like at all... 12 million doesn't even buy a half a player these days

Become United With Tinder.
I'm warming to it. Something about wear your heart on your sleeve, and it could be in "They say he is a legend" territory.

Phil Jones and the training table...a 100 percent match.
Still funny. My club used to have a toilet paper sponsorship on the arse. There must be a brand that has a big enough marketing budget to do that in the PL.
Try to envisage how this would happen without it looking really fecking dumb and cheap?
People accuse the likes of City and Chelsea of selling their soul...but all they've doone is use money to buy a better team. Meanwhile we're asking dating apps to advertise on our shirt sleeve for less money than we pay some of our players in wages. Anyone who says they woouldn't be at all embarassed by that is trying really hard to convince themselves when they say it.
If City or Liverpool had Tinder on their shirt sleeve it would take me a while to stop finding this amusing. If they were only getting £12m a year for the privelidge this wouldn't help me to stop finding it funny.
I don't think asking Woodward to have some kind of self respect is too much. We're not going to start winning leagues again because he negotiated a deal to have a dating app on our shirt.
We might because of the extra £350m a year we get from these kinds of sponsorship deals though.
Nobody will care within a week anyway.
Aah screw it, lets get Grindr on the back of the shorts while we're at it, charge them a fiver for the year.
Or something like that.

When DDG is faced with a penalty taker, he's gonna think "will he swipe right or left?"
I prefer Ok Cupid to be honest.
At least when the players are caught by their partners for using Tinder, they can use the excuse that they are product testing a club product like the cars, neck support/pillows etc.
Just being a good employee.
Marketing wise, we will see if there is any United inbreeding considering that we have 640millions fans. Great ice breaker.
Fyi. I did bonk a gooner through Tinder.

Rooney's midfield role for the last few years could be described as "the Tinder".
Every time he saw the rippling muscles of Antonio Valencia he'd swipe right straight away.

Pays for Lingard and Ashley's salaries.
You are one angry man.
They could fill up the shirt with sponsors for all I care. As long as it's good for the club. Would be stupid not to exploit.
Sounds a bit daft but I met my girlfriend off there and I've never been happier.. I'd say getting a sponsor off a company that's helped change many people's lives for the better isn't too much of a bad thing!
100% agree
I'm highly sceptical that there is any truth to this.
However, I thoroughly approve of the idea, given it seems to annoy a lot of people who are worth annoying.
I could understand having apprehensions were it Fetlife but getting embarrassed about tinder suggests either a thin skin with regards to opposition fans baseless digs, or a thorough misunderstanding of what tinder is.

To the Kagawa tune

Playing away while playing away.
Time to start 'We have the most handsomest squad' thread.
So now our players can hook up on Tinder and then when media reports "Utd players in scandal as they contact XXX on Tinder", we can just say it is all part of the promotion business.
Pornhub across the back too

Atleast its' better than your owner dabbling in bloodsports. Glad we are associated more with cringe than cruel.
Gimme dating apps over hunting apps anyday. Make love, not war (against animals).

Tbf, that's a cool fitting logo. Fire and Blood on our sleeves.
This is why we need a DoF. This is not what Mourinho meant when he said we need to score more. Ffs Woody
This didn't deserve to be missed.I could probably not care if I had to but I'd rather we weren't having to put fecking Tinder on our sleeves. They could pay double, that's not really the point.
Genuinely interested in why so many people are getting worked up over this. Maybe it's a generational thing? Like an extension of all the shite that some of us were spewing when the club used Stormzy to announce Pogba? Or is it a matter of having thin skin like @DiseaseOfTheAge suggested? Are people worried what their mates will think?
Personally I feel it's a match made in heaven given how many people, myself included, almost exclusively use tinder during international trips. There's a lot of potential exposure for the club in emerging markets for that £12 million.
To put that number in context, Barcelona are currently receiving €8.8 million a year from their sleeve deal while Chelsea haven't even released a number for theirs. For reference, I doubt Chelsea are getting much considering their sleeve sponsor of choice is just a subsidiary of their current shirt sponsor so with that in mind, £12m doesn't sound too bad.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of blind commercialisation, I just don't see an issue with tinder specifically.

This. With all the shite being flung around this thread about our soulless commercial arm, it's easy to forget how selective we actually are when it comes to the types of companies who adorn our shirts. I mean if we're throwing hissyfits about questionable 21st century partners, I'd be more agitated by our deal with Uber than anyone else.
I think it's a good idea. Move away from the established sponsors and into the growth industries of the internet.
It will also be amusing to see which players are allowed to feature on their promotional material.

Tinder is shit, we need something better. Surely we can get more money from a better company
Imagine the advert on mutv. "Did you expect mourinho as new manager only to end up with Moyes? Next time use tinder!"
