king canary 6,856 Posted July 22, 2021 Webber being a bit of a cheeky ****er here. As Bethnal has pointed out via twitter, the club chose to ends it existing £5m a year deal with Dafabet a year early. So the fact they ****ed up the replacement is on them, he's deflecting. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,330 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) I assumed they waited for Ajer to join Brentford to release the Farke news to deflect. That's just doubling down. Edited July 22, 2021 by KeiranShikari 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,263 Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) The simple fact is we had a £5m pot replaced by another, which was then replaced by one for perhaps £1-2m. This gives us a hole that inevitably hits our transfer funds. It isn’t rocket science to see a clear causal link, I can see no issue in SW making the point clear to everyone. The rights and wrongs of BK8 are a completely separate thing. Edited July 22, 2021 by Branston Pickle 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I feel like we're being softened up for something here. Webber kept talking about a covid hole of £30m, its now being mentioned as £35m, we're being told the sponsorship deal affects our budget... Either another sale on the cards or not much else in the way of incoming signings reading the tea leaves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hardly rocket science, as I say - there’s been mention of the ‘covid hole’ all season, so that’s nothing new. And I can’t see any reason you’d be surprised that replacing a £5m income stream with one of c£2m wouldn’t have any implications.

I think another sale is on the cards (Aarons) but even if he didn't I think we still have some money to spend. We've had a couple of 10m bids knocked back for players already, I doubt those are for show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but its interesting that the covid hole has suddenly gone up by £5m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KeiranShikari 1,330 Posted July 22, 2021 They obviously had to pay for more covid testing than they had planned for. That being said they're always going to spin numbers to their favour. This being said a day after we miss out on a player over a few million. Sus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The BK8 sponsorship was a shambles and made us look amateurish. Kensell and the rest were quite rightly ridiculed, and depending on who you believe, possibly lost their jobs because it. Give me a Lotus sponsorship deal for less money than some shady betting company based in the middle of nowhere who pays a few million more any day of the week. The club have no-one to blame but themselves for this. Edited July 22, 2021 by Hoolahoop14 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Glad youre not the cheif exec then Peiple were denying that this would have any impact on our transfer pot on the 'Ajer' thread Well we-ve had it from the horses mouth i.e Webber today that it does. ...and not all of us were losing sleep over who a sponsor was on the front of a shirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

According to the reports we cancelled the Dafabet deal early due to some unspecified 'concerns' with the business. If those were based on anything to do with how Dafabet chose to do things then it is inexplicable how we then rushed into another deal with an even dodgier looking Asian gambling firm without doing enough due diligence. The club really only has themselves to blame with how things have turned out. I'm not a fan of this quote from Webber- he's not stupid and knows exactly how this is going to be taken by many. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabbycanary3 994 Posted July 22, 2021 So what do people prefer? Keeping the Dafabet deal for another year to keep the money available/keep the BK8 deal/sack the people who ratified the BK8 deal and sue them for the £ deficit/Crack on and deal with the cards we have in front of us now and try to 'learn' from this, even though that decision has cost millions? It's not been someone's finest hour, for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, and ALL clubs would have been affected by Covid - so (by percentages at least) its still as level a playing field as it always been. ie the haves still have more than the have nots, just not as much as they had previously.

Hell, doesn't our run out music talk about drugs and thug life. Not a positive message for Norfolk's youth. Kids love watching Love Island. Far worse for our society than some obscure asian betting company selling with **** imo. That being said I don't particularly care, the shirt is probably nicer with Lotus and I'm not bothered what division we're in. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
