Tottenham Hotspur and Amazon in partnership
Tottenham Hotspur are in partnership with Amazon that has now seen us have our own club branded store on the e-commerce giant's platform.
I have just had a look at it, and it has everything one would find in
their Spurs shops. But is this the beginning? For instance, could Amazon have
the naming rights for our stadium – The Amazon Tottenham Stadium? There is
already a hint that the TV documentary "All or Nothing" might do a follow-up.
Is this the beginning of a beautiful multi-million-pound love affair? Is
virtual sex in the air? One of the wealthiest companies in the world in
partnership with a club of the future. And a stadium to go with it! If that
dream team comes into fruition, we could have one of the wealthiest clubs in
the world. I am also sure that if Amazon does go into partnership with Spurs, they
will demand success on the field. No giant company wants to be associated with
failure.
In the 60s Tottenham were known as the Millionaire club. When we
entered the new Premier League in the 90s, we had high hopes, but instead hit
near lowes (we nearly vanished into oblivion because of debt through bad
business practices). Eventually, our club was rescued by a Sugar daddy, who
passed the club onto Enic/ Levy & Lewis. Once in the boardroom, Levy
started plotting for the future. This culminated in a super stadium and high
aspirations. Levy created a money-making tree, and now the fans hope that that
money-making tree will create a superteam that will challenge the world. Fantasy
or reality? Only time will tell.
We start this season in a couple of days (Sunday, against Everton). Like always, we have high
hopes, but now we've got a top manager in Mourinho and a team that is,
hopefully, ready for the challenges ahead. Like every season, we dream the
dream. Come to the end of previous seasons we've nosed dived and no trophies
to-boot. Let us hope this time it is different.
All I can say is, watch this space.
