Slightly worried?

Post by Rushdenjim »

That with just over a month until the new season we still have no shirt sponsor, the photos from the game last night highlighted that fact to me with the blank shirt :?

Potential loss of income, I agree, but I guess KC isn't going to give it away for nothing. Didn't West Brom play for a season without shirt sponsorship?

Do you have the same worry when you see empty spaces for advertising boards around the ground?
Many small businesses are struggling in the current financial climate and I rather see no shirt sponser than one like Haart who defaults on agreed payment terms!

I wouldn't, and I'm sure KC wouldn't either! We may have had to take them to court to get the money but they still paid it eventually.

Would you rather get the best deal possible or have a situation, as Dave say, like we had with Haart? Remember this will sponsor should be on our shirts for years, let KC make sure we get the best deal for that period.

In business you should only get into bed with someone who is going to honour the agreement.

Two seasons actually, they had a deal in place and their chairman messed up (according to my baggies supporting mate).

You could have 140 years of no achievement, or twenty years of glorious victories, you decide.
