Might be Air Australia?

Compass

Sounds very plausible:

Could be worse.

Could be Oceanic Airlines...

I love this post.

Cmon Dees land the big fish!!

Good on you Scwabby and the club, I know you will seek the best deal!

I have faith in cameron swabb to get the best deal.

Based on what? Not history.

You have got to be joking cameron has done a great job in my view since being at the club again. ENERGY WATCH IS A GOOD START.

THOMO are you Carro wilson from the age?

C'mon Schwabby pull off a huge deal that puts us right up there in AFL standings. Don't lose it now...

has there been any further info come through from the earlier mention of a tweet?

I just can't believe that someone, knowingly, wrote nonsense on Twitter.

It has to be true.

I'm hoping the rumour on twitter re an announcement today are true - China Southwest Airlines sponsorship to be announced today?

hey harcourt, you cant just throw that out there and then go silent for the rest of the day. whats happening? wheres the link?

When it comes to Twitter, the link is missing...

I saw this tweet this morning:

. @melbournefc to announce China Southwest Airlines as jumper sponsor today according to MMM.

6 hours ago.

Not saying it's true just letting people know what I saw.

It all started from Eddie on MMM this morning. He said we were about to announce a Chinese airline as our joint major sponsor. I can't find any link to a podcast sorry.

Not joking, you cannot base your faith in his ability to land a big sponsor on history.

He struggled to land a major sponsor last time, and got lucky at the last minute thanks to a couple of fans, and could not hold onto the sponsors longer than the initial contract.

EnergyWatch also sponsor the Victory and the Rebels, seems like they targeted Melbourne clubs, so it would be interesting to know how much was Schwabs work and how much was Energy Watch approaching the club.

Now the club is about to start the year without a sponsor on the front. Schwab has a very poor record with major sponsors at this club. Hopefully he lands one soon, but history does not provide any proof that we should have faith in Schwab. He has many strengths, this is not one of them.

Heads should be rolling at the club over this.

Whose heads? Other than Schwab? Poulakakis? Should it extend to our, oh-so-connected board who have really put the 'dis' in 'disconnect' in the past year?

It's not just Schwab failing and flailing.

from the sounds of things the deal is almost done if not already and this potential sponsor has been mentioned in this thread for sometime, so i am quite confident that we will have a foj sponsor well before round one. The richest couple of deals in the clubs history will certianly make up for the lost revenue in jumper sales to this point.

maybe heads are not rolling because cam has a major sponsor. That we will see very soon? And also cam had alot to do with energy watch if you listen to the interview. The owner said he did not follow melbourne but the melbourne football club business model made him want to be apart of our club so i would say that has alot to do with cam he is the ceo. going on current form he is flying check mate.

I'm not sure who's head, I didn't say Schwab's, it might be his or someone elses', but whoever has responsibilty for this has so far failed.

We do not have a FOJ sponsor.

Actually the EW bloke said our 'oh-so-connected' board was the driving reason he wanted to sponsor the club.

It's an interesting argument to have and there is fodder for both sides.

On one hand we already have more sponsor money than we did last season, on the other hand we are nearly into March and we have a naked left breast...

Check mate?????

check mate means you attack the MFC CEO with no idea whats going on. You say he had nothing to do with energy watch when clearly you had no idea. 6million for the BOJ is not bad is it? And i would think if we had nothing on the go for the FOJ carro wilson would be all over it. Cam would be working as hard as he can to get the best for our club.

There is talk about a chinese airline deal all over the net today....it won't be long now i feel.

Relax a little Thomo...sometimes the good deals take longer.
