sweetleftpeg 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Up Shit Creek I should imagine. Or we come out next season with 'The Government' on our shirts. Another new shirt needed for next season, Mike Ashley must be gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14021 Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 Probably going to be 'Carling' or 'Sports Direct' i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31597 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The name won't change will it? The deal will most likely be unaffected for the remainder of our contract with them unless both sides can agree to an early termination. Wasn't there something about them having paid a fair whack of the money up front or Freddy having already spent a fair bit of it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 The money was paid up front (I think we used it to buy Michael 'sub-prime' Owen ) I think we might be coming up to the final year of the deal anyway. I can't see us having Sportsdirect as our shirt sponsor, why stick your own company name on there when someone else will pay handsomely for the privilege?

NJS 4446 Posted February 17, 2008 Share Posted February 17, 2008 Don't think this is allowed under EU law - the backing via the treasury was given temporary approval but state guaranteed banks are on dodgy ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
