Better to post some rumours than ruining the whole fucking site
You used to be such a sedate poster, mark. You're so irritable these days.
What the fuck? Their coffee is shit. For shit coffee, it's ok.
Also, Dunkin Donuts is a massive brand, especially in the North East, and especially in Massachusetts. They are absolutely everywhere. So at least the owners are exploring their local connections to make a bit of extra money.
Or to make sure they get their free doughnuts every morning at 08.00
Thundercats
Best tic ever.
Why does everyone turn in to a wanker when you mention coffee. Like everyone who drinks filtered coffee is a connoisseur and anyone who drinks from a commercial store is a peasant!
I drink nescafe gold and I'm proud.
Kick him in the nuts and send him to space. Kick him in the nuts and send his nuts to space!
So what you're saying is..... you didn't read any of the reports in the papers.
They aren't peasants, they just don't have good taste in coffee. I'm a complete fucking nut when it comes to coffee, as in I recently finished modifying my burr grinder so it produces a more consistent grind for use with my french press. I'm not being a wanker when I say dunkin donuts coffee is shit, I'm stating a fact. I don't think it makes me better than anyone, it's just my hobby and I will readily talk about it.
In other words I was a wanker long before coffee.
And they are much richer for it now, I've no doubt.
It might be shit coffee mate but it sells and that is all that matters here. I live in the North East of the US and Dunkin Donuts is everywhere and every outlet you go to is always busy…..but I agree it's not the best tasting.
Isn't that exactly what I said? I live in right in the heart of Dunkin Donut land. My fucking island is like going back in time to when no one in the US made good coffee. I travel 30 mins over the bridge every week to get to an awesome coffee shop because two Brooklynites who actually get it wanted to live in one of the best pretty small towns in the US.
Isn't the question what's the nature of the partnership/sponsorship all that matters here, not Dunkin Donuts' skull-fucking market penetration in a geographic area that ranges from giving a post-colonial shit about football to thinking its for fags? It's just what do they get, what do we get. I mean, they aren't going to advertise LFC. They use our brand to penetrate new markets in Europe with the coffee or some other shit food, which people will find me pretentious for finding shit, and we get how much money for it, or how much exposure in an area with an appetite for football for it?
Or as Rosco says, its just some rinky dink deal with a pretty big but not top tier restaurant group, because they both went to yale together don't you know, and now they are going to give each other a halfhearted corporate reach around so they can look like they're doing something while using the corporate account as the lubricant.
It's the sort of absorbing, fascinating shit that makes me love this sport. It's the sort of edge of the seat shit I signed up for.
If imagine they've paid for some advertising, cross promotion & an exclusive supply contract.
They get exposure plus income from us buying their product.
We get cash from the deal plus revenue from selling their product - which could easily be added to by preferential rates or rebates on sales volume.
The advertising money is the bit which will bring in the money.

In all honesty I like a good cup of coffee but don't know enough about the subject to comment. Its just one of those things that people seem to get on their high horse about when in most likelihood they probably couldn't tell the difference between Aldi Coffee or the expensive shit that comes out of some animals arse (obviously that's not directed to you).
Was gonna say that's shit, but then remembered Utd are sponsored by fucking Chevvy!
Vauxhalls may not be exciting but a least they're better than them!
I think we already have a Chevrolet sponsorship/ partnership in place.
@Rosco - do you seriously think this is just an agreement for them to be a supplier at Anfield? If so, I seriously question your ability to stroll around like the grand master of Soccernomics.
We seem to be really getting our act together in terms of bringing in greater revenues from all streams possible. Moves like kit manufacturer, global partnerships (and finding a way of getting these large organisations to pay US, a team not even in the Europa League, to be the beneficiary), summer tours aimed at bringing in additional revenue.. These will all add up and play in our favour once FFP kicks in.
For years we have bemoaned the lack of commercial acumen at the club and we are finally seeing the beginning of this new strategy taking place.
If you only want us to get revenue from shirts, tickets and programmes - fine. But you then can't also realistically expect us to remain a top level team.
