A director at Ooredoo (formerly Qatar Telecom), is quoted by Al Jazeera saying:

quote:

“The goal was to sponsor a big English club with a huge history, our search included Arsenal & Manchester United but the former two have long sponsorship deals and the same applies to Manchester City so Liverpool is the only club available right now.”

“We want to sponsor the club in full. We want to sponsor the Stadium (possibly rename it) as well as the club’s kits. Our goal is to reach the Asian markets where the Premier League has an enormous fan base.”

“We received the tender from the club a few days ago and we are currently in the process of due diligence and we are studying each aspect of the study.”

“It is a dual interest, Liverpool needs the money to compete with the European heavyweights and we want to expand our brand to reach new markets via football.”

Our key to the new stadium? Would be great news for the club.

I swear to fricking God, if they change the badge to some bullshite Asian crap like they did with Cardiff I will go on a rampage. This is the only thing I'm worried about. Change the stadium, give us money, do whatever. But if you start to dabble with the history, game fricking over.

"A big club with huge history", The frick is Shitty doing in there. 1 title in what, 50 years. A big club with unending reserves of Benjamins or whatever oohlala name they have for their moolah in the sand dunes, more like.

Also nice piece of courtship that. "Our first second third choices were all unavailable so we went with you losers." That said, gimme 200 mn, that the club can spend over the next 2 years and I'll bite your hands off, just don't give Anfield a crappy name.
