Splitter club to lose main sponsor

[Marcus Bryant]

Just so Spurs American fans understand, they do not pay for the club. they just pay a fee to have their name on the club. That is all. Now another company will have their name on club. This is total exaggeration that this is a problem for them.

Like in Italy every team just about changes name every season. All the ceramic company is just someone who pay for a label same as some company pay for a label on a race car. I think Spurs fans is confuse as how important the company is to them. it actual have nothing to even do with the club.

Really? Why, that's quite a revelation!!!11

no use in dwelling in the past. it's like the scola thing. think about how many teams are kicking themselves for not picking ginobili in 1999. twice.

IMO, we would have drafted Gasol, had we known for certain that Splitter would have chosen Europe.....we could have done the draft and stash with Splitter, and had Gasol as a rookie this season.

So far this decade.....the only two draft picks that really bug me are Beno Udrih (could have had Chris Duhon) and Marcus Williams (could have had Marc Gasol).....so we have done a pretty decent job of drafting....we got 2 guys that helped us win multiple championships, Manu and Parker....so I really cant complain.

I just like to discuss things like this.

I also believe that had Splitters sister not been ill, he would have signed with the Spurs.

Obviously the economy has people scared less.

Picnroll, you need a drumroll - or at least a rimshot.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I really admire your endurance to stultify yourself in every discussion possible.
the company name is Tau Ceramica.
this is the company logo:

BS.

The club sponsor is ANOTHER company and the main supporter is government of the region. This Ceramica is by far NOT main sponsor of the club.

Just like in Spain, Italy, Greece MANY clubs have a name sponsor.

Like in Italy every team just about changes name every season. .

That's true, alot of name changing because of sponsors. But it depends. Some clubs have name sponsors and have their name changed just because of change of name sponsor and not main sponsor. but also some, and i think the most, get their name from just the main sponsor, no name sponsor in the picture, but just main sponsor, when such a main sponsor leaves, the club adopts the name the new main sponsor is giving them.

I think after next season is his buyout amount will still be €2.8 millions euros. So this means he would need about $7.5 millions gross NBA contract just to equal buyout amount. I think this is still much more than his entire worth of rookie scale contract maybe double even.

So KBP, you still holding to these #'s?

[Marcus Bryant]

So KBP, you still holding to these #'s?

Ah yes, the 3 year, $75 million Greek contract....

Amazing.

Yes Maroussi is worst Greek club for this. Every year club has new name.

They was called Honda now they is called Costa Coffee.

Actual REAL club of TAU is Saski Baskonia. This is the actual club. TAU Ceramica is just the label from paying to have their name on it and now will be some other company.

I wonder how many times this as doofus will repeat what everyone already knew before he posted anything.

You idiot. Some here act like ceramic company paid for the club or calling it "main sponsor" it is never been main sponsor. So it seems these people did not already know this. This is nonsense. The club pays for itself then has another company sponsor it and biggest supporter of the club is government.

I guess At&T pays for all Spurs club then right? Dumbass.

[ChumpDumper]

How does it pay for itself?

What are the numbers?

A club is not its own sponsor.

If the toilet company paid the most money of all the actual sponsors, it was indeed the main sponsor.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

How does it pay for itself?

What are the numbers?

Saski Baskonia (the actual club itself) 10 million euros net per season

Alava 2 million euros net per season

Stop being a dumbass and look at their uniforms. Notice word Alava on them?

TAU 1 million euros net per season
(now this will be sell to another company and name of club will change again)

Basque Country 1 million euros net per season

Coca Cola 500,000 euros net per season
Silken Hotels 500,000 euros net per season
Telefonica 500,000 euros net per season

So you have a link to these numbers. Thanks for providing it.

And really -- that's their entire budget?

Small potatoes. $1 million is a substantial hit.

And what is the difference between Alava and Basque Country?

15.5 million euros net is "small budget". ing dumbass. And is 1 million euro not dollars and is not a hit/ How many times it have to be explain? A new company will pay the fee and club name will change name. You act like re .

Like I say many clubs in Europe changes name every year.

Anyway I hope Splitter can come to Spurs.

Duh and it's even more of a hit in euros.

Like I say many clubs in Europe changes name every year.

If they can find a new sponsor that will pay the same, good for them.

I wouldn't be too surprised if they couldn't though. Not every Euro team has been able to maintain its spending over the past couple of seasons.

[ChumpDumper]

BTW - Thanks for giving a link to those numbers and fully explaining the difference between the Basque province of Alava and Basque country. By doing so you have proven you just aren't making up.

Again, thanks for providing a link to the numbers and stating the difference between the Basque province of Alava and Basque country.

Something I've learned recently is that Spurs will be able to offer more than the rookie scale to Splitter in 2010.

The only thing that might stand in the way now would be Splitter actually reading all of the threads on spurstalk that insult him, his family, Tau, Spain, Europe, Brazil, the euro-league, and everything and everyone else under the sun who isn't currently isn't a Spur. Luckily, the chances are good that he is very busy and has better things to do.

Here's a dumb question. How is Splitter playing? Is he worth all this talk???
