Shirt Sponsor 23/24 - BK8

[pauliewalnuts]

Wonder what the cost of terminating the BK8 deal early was.

But yes, great bit of business to get so much more.

They also sponsor my Brazilian team, Fluminense, if you want an idea of how the logo might look.



Not too bad, and certainly better than BK8's.

[Somniloquism]

Not sure on the team but they also do mono-colour as well.

[Toronto Villa]

This is a great short term deal It will be the last of its kind because of the upcoming betting company sponsoring ban so with this and Adidas it will help a lot with FFP

[Dave]

Disappointed it is another betting company but £40 mil is not to be sniffed at

There are betting companies though and there are betting companies and there's a world of difference between this lot and BK8.

I'd never heard of either to be honest. Are Betano, er, better?

Looks pretty decent (and less like an arse) when it's all white. I'd seen it on the Flu shirts but hadn't made the gambling connection, just assumed it was a Brazilian company of some description.

If my rudimentary Googling is anything to go by, yes. They just seem to be a Bet365 / Betfair / William Hill sort of operator. So all the usual issues about the morality of gambling advertising apply.

That's not the problem with BK8 and their ilk, who are a whole other kettle of unpleasantness and something we should never have gone near for reasons that are nothing to do with the morality of gambling advertising.

Does this mean we have to say well done Heck?

If the rumour is true and the deal done at that sort of offer, does this count towards FFP?  Asking for a friend.

Not really, I was expecting a non-gambling firm/household name. Depends on the circumstances, if Betano (thinking it's likely we'll make CL this year) came in and offered 20m then even one of The Apprentice contestants could have done that deal.

[PaulWinch again]

Seems like Heck has done a pretty good job there to me.

Yes, it's a key reason we're doing it.

Credit where credit is due.

He is doing what the owners have tasked him to do so yep.

Milking the last two years of gambling sponsors….would have been nice to get a non gambling firm but guess top bidder wins.

Guess stadium naming rights will be next
