More revenue for our club
Re: New Sponsor - SBOTOP
Well that's very disappointing. I was hoping we'd move away from gambling sponsors, especially after what happened with Jordan Stevens.

At least the logo is blue...with not a colour or the word red in sight!

Look out for introductory offers on SBOBET website soon - might be that they give away shirts. Don't sign up yet until they have offers.

Re: New Sponsor - SBOTOP
Not just another betting company, but could also be a tax exiled one, which really adds a different level of bad taste. I know we need the money but it’s contrary to the culture of the club at the moment and that’s a pity.

Name me a bookie not registered in a tax haven?
Re: New Sponsor - SBOTOP
Tbf no one seems to be upset at Adidas using sweatshops and cheap labour.

Re: New Sponsor - SBOTOP
Adidas’ record has been chequered, and ugly at times, but it has been much better in recent times as they have cleaned up their labour record.
The issue with purchasing clothes is that it is next to impossible to buy anything from a high street shop that isn’t connected to a sweatshop somewhere. It’s what has happened to the world clothes industry.

Re: New Sponsor - SBOTOP
Underwhelmed and disappointing are the two words that spring to mind but Rads is a businessman, I’m sure it will be a good move financially for the club. I guess it could be worse, we could have had Primark splashed over the front

Re: New Sponsor - SBOTOP
I’m just glad we’ve got a sponsor and a very good deal rumoured to be around the £15M per annum and if Primark were to offer more then I’d take that offer, we’ve got to realise, sadly it’s all about money in the PL and without it you struggle. The so called big 6 earn 2-3 times this from their primary sponsors and our deal, again rumoured puts us high up the list above other well established PL clubs
