I'm sure I heard/read something last year about FXPro being in a little financial difficulty (no links, just a hazy memory).  Given the state of the world's economy at the moment I would guess that this is more to do with FXPro cutting costs and going for the deal that offers the best value for money for them.

As others have said, I won't miss their presence on our shirts.  Hopefully Randy can strike up a better deal with somebody else over the weeks and months ahead.

The Nike / Acorns thing is not such a mad idea (Rich6by7) can somebody mention this to the General if the FXPro withdrawal rumours are true??

We may end up getting a better deal for next season from a major firm which could bring in more money to the club.

We could also end up worse off financially due to the season we're having. Hopefully potential sponsors would look at the bigger picture.

Maybe they believe that Fulham will stay in the Premier League and we won't.

General, Are reports correct that FxPro will be prematurely ending their sponsorship of us ?

What is the clubs perspective on this ?
Will this leave a big hole, financially and is there an early exit fee payable by FxPro ?

Thanks.

Probably more to do with Fuham being a London club.

Simply put, absolutely.

FxPro = wankers.

How good would the shirts look with the letters "H&V" on the front ?

Meh.

It was a horrible kit and the sponsorship logo added to that.

Wouldn't bet against us having MG on the shirts again as they are trying to build up a profile with them building and selling cars here again. Depends on if they are willing to pay the requisite money.

Bit annoying because there's probably no one else on the cards yet, meaning we're in for a late release kit... again.

...and that it doesn't cost FXpro as much?

£3.5m a season is the same as Fulham get? Thought we would have been a much bigger catch.
