Out of curiosity, what are the issues with morality?
United in talks with Tinder for £12m sleeve sponsorship | Tinder team up with City instead
- Thread starter Baxter
- Start date
What is the "morality of it"? Strange comment.
Must be confusing it with Ashley Maddison or the likes.
No sponsors are snubbing us for City. Sometimes negotiations don’t progress for whatever reason, or they fall through. And I bet whoever we eventually end up with pays us more than £12m a year.
Rofl
No sponsor on the planet would choose City over Man Utd
They’re a much better football team than us -at the minute- but in terms of corporate pull you’d struggle to have even the most die hard Bluemoon shill believe that they have more influence.
Plastic relationships though, their market is more suited to that product.
Are you kidding mate? It's going gangbusters. Nearly 560 likes in 24 hours compared to a pathetic 1.4k for a picture United posted 10 minutes ago. City is what the people want.
What's wrong with the morality of Tinder? 
As a club with Utd's stature, do you really want to loan your name to a casual sex/hookup brand name and how many other sponsors would like to see their brand name put next to Tinder on a Utd shirt?
I definitely wouldn't want Tinder on the shirt. I think it's tacky. However, I've no problem with hookup apps and would get more hookups from said apps if only I had better looks and personality.
When I took the missus to meet my parents they said something about me putting on weight and she said “at least you know I’m not with him for his looks!”. They laughed, she laughed, I died inside
I honestly don't see what's wrong with hooking up or having casual sex. Seems like a rather conservative mindset imho.
That’s not applicable to sponsorships because we were the first team to get a training kit sponsor. We were also the first football team to segment sponsors by region iirc.
I think City wanted to get one over on us and offered tinder a cheaper rate and threw in their sisters clubs too it seems. If united are now searching for another sponsor, it’ll make sense as to why it’s taking so long.
I wouldn't want my club connected with it though.
I'm actually with @Marcky411 on this one, I'm not sure it's a case of immorality but it's a cheap, tacky and plastic brand associated with shallow, meaningless hookups that a club of United's stature should have more class than to associate themselves with.
All things considered, it suits City much better.

Yeah, I'm really concerned. Jesus wept.
Could be worse, could have this Nürnberg sponsor on your shirt:
Though I guess even that is better than:
I'll show myself out.

It's a social media application, and an increasingly well known one at that. I wouldn't mind having it in the shirt of my club at all.
Nevertheless I understand your opinion, but that's a matter of taste, not morality. It's a place where single people (the vast majority of them, as it doesn't suit anonymity at all) meet each other, and not just for sex either, at least not these days.
There's a few strange reactions to this. Don't get why Tinder as a sponsor is embarrassing, and certainly not morally questionable. I didn't want it for us because it'd look shite and we already have that on the front.
Sack everyone. Can’t even sign Tinder. City too far ahead now
I suppose the main issue was them not matching our valuation. Rather than some moral dilemma

Does tinder actually work?
Btw, before loggin in I was seeing ads about matching up with local ebony women.

This thread will take so many virginities..
Wow. Really glad we did not end up having Tinder for at sleeve sponsor for two reasons. First, because is Tinder. Second because I really don't want us to have a sleeve sponsor.
I'm not opposed to the idea of a sleeve sponsor, but I was opposed to it being a sleazy tacky sponsor like Tinder. Find something a bit more classy
They really went to town with the announcement. There was a helium-filled inflatable tube dangling a big flag with the logos on it behind the G-Mex on Thursday. Certainly persuaded me it wasn't a cheap and tacky move.
When I took the missus to meet my parents they said something about me putting on weight and she said “at least you know I’m not with him for his looks!”. They laughed, she laughed, I died inside
I had similar. When I met my ex wifes parents in 1981 she said "I know he doesnt look like David Essex, oh' why couldnt you have looked like him?" I replied "if I looked like him you dont think I would be here do you". Went down like a lead balloon.
I actually met my girlfriend on there. Started as casual meet ups and ended up into something great. Been together 4 years now.
Happened to me too but it was her sisters in my storyWhen I took the missus to meet my parents they said something about me putting on weight and she said “at least you know I’m not with him for his looks!”. They laughed, she laughed, I died inside
Can’t believe Tinder has been around for more than 4 years!
So not interested even if Viagra or certain plastic bag offered 20m or more?
BTW, have anyone point out to you that our shirt's sponsor look like certain white vampire used by ladies.

That's non-sense though. We could not win anything for 20 years and still be a better options for sponsors due to our global appeal.
So did we come up on club tinder and got swiped left for a hookup with city instead?
I suppose there are more dicks in their stadium.
I don't deny you'd remain a big club but I hate this kind of arrogance because it shows a complete lack of understanding of how sport and business can evolve so quickly. The next 20 years are bigger than the last - think about how easy it is to now access the global football fan base through social media and social platforms (plus god knows what in the future). The next 20 years would be the worst 20 years in the history of the sport to not be successful, in the same way you've benefitted from it in the last 20 years being the best in the history of the sport through the development and strength of the PL. The world moves on.
If you don't win anything for the next TWENTY years you can almost guarantee your global appeal would be surpassed by somebody. We couldn't possibly say who, but you've never seen football club to football fan access and interaction before like you will over the next 20 years. Not being a success over that period won't be a good thing for any club. As it happens, you're big enough and smart enough to remain successful during that time, so I think you'll be on of the sides to capitalise on it all, but the sentiment of your post just seems ludicrous to me.
Liverpool were a bigger club, or at least as big a club as Utd were in the 80's.
20 years later we had become by far the bigger club of the two.
I wonder why...
Gotta feel for tinder. They're not going to get enough bang for their buck
Awe lol that's not nice.When I took the missus to meet my parents they said something about me putting on weight and she said “at least you know I’m not with him for his looks!”. They laughed, she laughed, I died inside
