The Worst bit about it all is by having this gambling company the kids shirts don't look the same as the shirts the players wear.

May as well just get them a training top.

Has there ever been a point in our history that the club is more out of touch with its supporters?

I feel it’s decision after decision at the moment that goes against the core values of the supporter base and it’s sad to see. After reaching the highest of highs recently to now selling our soul to the highest bidder.

It’s a terrible sponsor but as our club is an absolute disaster behind the scenes why would any reputable business want to partner with us?


If you look into FC Nordsjælland in Denmark that is a club with a clear vision and as a result they attract big, moral businesses that want to back their journey.

 

They develop a clear pathway for youth players to make the first team and to then be sold. They tend to have the youngest first team in Europe, the fan base is 98% families and having been there to look behind the scenes, everyone there knows what their job is and how to do it. It’s mind blowing but so perfect. 
 

If the club was sellable we’d get a great sponsor but if it’s your pound notes why would you give our club them?

 

It’s further proof that our club is so poorly run that nobody wants to come near it.

Plenty of things we could be complaining about, this isn’t one of them though.

 

Just don’t buy it if you don’t like it.

This isn't just about the look of the logo on the shirt? 

 

The company is dodgy when you look into it, reviews have it as being just some scam and that's before you even touch on the fact it's promoting gambling etc.

It's just another example of the useless plebs we have in marketing/commercial. If you can't secure a decent sponsorship for the most watched sports league in the world you are ****ing useless at your job.

I know it’s not about the logo.

 

I’ve not looked into the company tbf , not fussed about the fact it’s supposedly a gambling company though. I sympathise that a minority of people have issues with gambling but that shouldn’t dictate who sponsors us.

 

The rules are changing regarding that in the future aren’t they.

The fact that the rules are changing, tells us this is a morally wrong decision by the club. The grace period was given, not so clubs could make new deals like we’ve made but so existing deals could be honoured.

The fact that kids shirts won’t look like the players is wrong. If we really get to a point where we don’t care who is giving us the money as long as we can compete.. it’s wrong plain and simple.

Everything about this deal is wrong and most of the decent club supporters with values and morals can see it’s wrong. 
As a supporter base the standard we walk past, is the standard we accept.

I for one, want to hold the club to higher standards than what they are showing right now.

Gambling and sport go together. I don’t really agree that they should be changing the rules on it but if they do they do.

 

But if it is some dodgy scam company that has been set up then fair enough.

The worry is if a kid looks at the sponsor on a player's shirt, Googles it and actually pays for the service somehow - they could get hooked on it at a very young age..

 

Literally risky business.

Looking forward to the ban on gambling advertising - then KPFC can attract the likes of Valsella Meccanotecnica, I believe their landmines are among the best in the world (and only impact a small minority of the global population).

FBS was dodgy as **** as well. You could maybe imagine this at a National League side trying to get a bit of money and having a few naive out of depth numpties at the top but not a Premier League team.

 

We know about Rudkin because he's front and centre but I absolutely dread to think some of the snakes Top has around him at the club making other decisions.

That all sounds lovely, but it's a whole different world to the Premier League.

It’s about having a clear vision, business model and identity that people /  sponsors can invest into. It’s all scalable.

Do we know if FBS has now gone completely?:fc:

I’m not even convinced these could fulfil any sponsorship fees. If they did any due diligence on their finances they’d have surely came across their abysmal reputation

No other Premier League club has that ideal vision and identity that you are looking for, so we are not alone.
