Still committed to the UK market, but if they decide to throw the towel in here too I guess we'll be looking for a new shirt sponsor.

I hope not, as sponsors logos go, it's pretty unobtrusive and looks okay on the shirt.

The company has been expanding rapidly, with revenues more than doubling year-on-year to £333m in the second quarter of 2022. However, losses for the same period came in at £243m – a cash burn that many analysts and rivals have long believed to be unsustainable.

Didn't like that at all when the shirt was unveiled but don't really notice it on the players. Still way better than some gambling company's logo in Chinese though.

Don't most of our sponsors end up bust ?

We should help the local community and let Small Heath sponsor us.

Yes, a bit like our managers.

This is because being the manager of AVFC or even a sponsor is the pinnacle after which everything else is downhill.
