New partner with 40m per year?

[leochenxx]

Found that in a Chinese SNS.

Yokohama will become our partner next year but not Turkish Airlines with 40m per year. If it is a real plan，our sponsorship fee will be doubled，Samsung just give us 18m per year.

Tyre company. Don't see them paying us £40mil a year. That's a lot of tires!!!

Tyres

The softest, worst tyres I ever bought. Lasted me about 4000 miles.

Hasn't Chelsea and Turkish Airlines confirmed a deal though? Bit late to back out and go with someone else now isn't it

Turkish Airlines announced via twitter that a deal had been reached then quickly withdrew it. My guess is done deal. Yokohama will probably just take up the vacant spot left by Delta

If I was offered a new partner with £40m a year, I think I would definitely consider ditching my husband.

I think we need to tread carefully here.

It seems pumped up certainly.

Let's hope once we know for sure we won't feel deflated.

Made their name in low profile and racing tyres, that's what you had by the sound of it.

Oh and I truly hope this is who we get as our kit sponsor, I will be needing 4 new tyres for my car soon and they will get the business.. Heck just for showing an interest they will prob get my business.
