"Who are the Villa playing today?"
etc etc

I would have preferred the Baffin Island Escort Agency "Inuit QuickFucks".

My favourite post ever.

[Clampy]

Yuk.

What do you mean Yuk?

[simon ward 50]

At least it's not Sage I suppose!

[exigo]

So presumably this means we'll be linked with:

Sean St Ledger
Anderson
Petr Cech

At least it's not Sage I suppose!

Or SAP. Or to give it its full title, FUCKINGSAP.

It will be interesting to see what they are paying as they were only giving the Bitters around £1.5m a year.

[Matt Collins]

Mail says £3m for a two year deal which I assume means £1.5m pa. which just seems incredibly small to me.

[Tuscans]

Yuk.

Misspelt yuck.

You can have a beautifully designed shirt but when you put an ugly sponsor on the front it naffs it all up.

I'm hoping one day Coca Cola or Apple cough up some dollar.....even Cadburys would of looked smart.

What was the point of signing up for a two-year deal? New owners could probably have landed us something more lucrative next summer.

It does. Would be strange as well as at the SCG Charlie and Foxy were on about how important increasing commercial is to the club, and mentioned shirt deals etc.

BREAKING NEWS: We are delighted to announce @QuickBooksUK as our main club partner for the next two seasons.

Erm, didn't look great on last year's Baggies shirt.

I first thought it was related to the book finder app thread.

What new owners?

It's probably the mail putting a negative spin on the deal *shock horror*. Were it to be true it would be a smaller deal than Hull City had last season, so either it's bullshit or this Wijeratna bloke is fucking cack at his job.
