Would be good, but very little if no chance of Gazprom...
I know for absolute 100% cast-iron fact that contact was initiated by Everton with Gazprom two years ago, and despite pleasant and amiable discussions with European HQ based in Switzerland, Gazprom advised that their interests in football for the then foreseeable future were aligned to the CL plus their deals in situ with Schalke, Chelski and clubs in Russia.
This, Gazprom other than their existing club contracts see their sponsorship activities focused on UEFA and FIFA.
