f**k. Man that is really going to hurt.

Sony was a major sponsor and a major brand hard to think of anything beter except maybe vodafone.  Came on here to have a good old discussion on everton and the phoenix doing well but this is a  big shock. Dam

Jet Star sounds good to me!

Jetstar's links as sponsors of the Gold Coast League team might be tricky.

Jetstar... *insert long farting noise* ...the cheap version of Qantas.

Is there any word on how bad this will be? Maybe i'm naive. But the phoenix will defnitly be playing next season? How much was sony contributing compared to Terry?

HK hit on an idea, ASB colours match ours.

This is not the end of the world for the Phoenix but it defintely is not good!

ASB are owned by Commonwealth Bank in Aus, so maybe they could play with that sponsorship also (such as when they're away, like Sydney do with alternating sponsors)?

Mind you, probably not the best time to be going to banks to ask for money.

I think Jetstar is the best suggestion in here so far.

$3m sponsorship is a big hit.

Would battle to support the Nix if that happened. Costa Coffee is owned by a Gooner...

Now that they are no longer sponsoring us....
(there's a bit swearing if you're the sensitive type)

cheers sony feel free to come back and hop back into bed when things warm up

Hopefully we can secure a new sponsor cause Terrys pockets must be pretty streched atm

sadly, they'll not be stretched by the weight of 'coin' in them

Loss of 3 million a year is a biggy.....thats the equivalent of 100,000 tickets sold.

Jade just posted a profit

3 million, as little sa I know about the Phoenix's finances, that seems like a huge amount, considering the salary cap is only AUD 2 mill (?). I realise we have to finance a marque player and off-field costs, but is that figure really accurate?

If it is, I would agree that it would be very very tough to get a matching sponsor to take over the branding rights

Why would an NZ company sponsor an Australian team?

After losing $61 billion, AIG might be looking for a more downmarket team to sponsor

Ii don't believe that is close to accurate.  TV dollars pretty much covers the cap, and we're not making a profit so I can't see any way it is $3 million.

I bought a Sony camera on the strength of that sponsorship. Never done that sort of thing before. 

How about John Key.  He's got millions. News, where is that photo...

Awesome suggestion Coxey.

I understood it would amount to 3 million over 3 years if all targets were hit and that they had the right to review after 2nd year.

Effectively, if we hit our targets (which I doubt we did) its 1 million per year. I'm guessing part of it would have been exposure for the play offs?

Drop that a bit Agent.  Take at least a million off the three year number.

I can see it now. Blue sponsor box, big white letters "JOHN KEY!", beneath it in smaller white letters "Authorised by Ben Wilson of blah blah...."

I'm pretty sure the EFA affects sports uniforms too




In all seriousness, I doubt Jetstar would be an option since their parent company is a sponsor of the league. Could come across as favouritism if a league sponsor affiliate with an individual team. IE - We could beat Gold Coast to get into the Grand Final, then some some idiot might come out and say "The league told the ref to favour the Phoenix to make Qantas happy, so that they'd get more sponsors exposure from playing in the Grand Final...."

I'd nominate JB HI-FI. New-ish to Wellington, so some more exposure wouldn't hurt. The company is expanding throughout the country (Wellington is the first of a few stores to be built outside Auckland) so it would be good for fans in Christchurch etc.They already exist in Auckland so it'd be good for our fan up there.   They're an Australian company so it's trans-tasman exposure, whereas an NZ-only company could only be effective on one side of the ditch. And hey - the colours are already there!

ARSENAL!!!!!!!   NO!!!!

Milo??

this could not have happened at a worst time for the club. It will be dificult to get a significant sponsor with companies watching their wallets now more than ever.

lets hope we avoid sponsors like "coffee club", "subway" etc, after sony we are going to need a big corporate to get involved to maintain the same momentum. vodafone would be nice but doubtful, Telecom? (ugh), Samsung?? (Melbourne) Panasonic maybe? theres pleanty of companys out there is just a matter of who you want o make the  effort to chase.

Samsung... goooooooone.

Bummer that is sad news. If the government bail out Fisher & Paykel coin some dosh out of that deal.  Kiwi Rail.  Receivership firms they'll be doing well Price Waterhouse Cooper (PWC)
