Invest In Africa

[gipetto]

I remember thinking when we were encouring investment in Africa if we ever invested in Africa ourselves.

We were led to believe it was a special relationship at the time but it seems now that we got nothing in return. No wonder we're almost commercially redundant. At least I suppose our directors got the chance to tick a few more destinations off their bucket list at the club's expense.

Surely Invest in Wearside would have been a more appealing slogan. Or Invest in Sunderland AFC for that matter!

we got asamoah gyan iirc

 

[Wise Man Says]

The Mags did a some "hilarious" internet mock ups of charity appeals in Africa for Pennywell or somewhere iirc

 

[Geronimo]

It's never wise to invest in Africa. Corruption is rife in too many places

 

[dangermows]

Red nose day is dedicated to us in return.

All inclusives in Somalia.

I treated Big Wig.

 

[Dogbark]

Aye, I'd certainly rather have Gambleville on the shirt than anyone else.

 

[greedminds]

It was all a fiddle.

After all we did for Africa, this is how they repay us.

 

[roker beach]

We set something up in Tanzania but it looks like we'll be battening down the hatches before it reaches fruition

You don't usually get much in return from Africa apart from an empty bank account..

I said at the time it was utter nonsense. I was right

Margaret and Gary the Hair got to go on safari so it wasn't all a waste..

around that time i lost 50 quid betting on De Beers being to be our next sponsor as i'd over heard Gyan telling Short to get a round in

It seems that "Invest in Africa" was just some kind of front for Tullow Oil really..

 

[Horace Cope]

It was an absolute joke. Hollow talk of investment and long term vision / strategy with everything well planned and thought out.

Turns out it was a load of shite
