New Sponsor BC.GAME

[VLC86]

I can’t wait for this to go to court, and for the courts to find that KP gave BC the money to then give to Leicester City. What a great decision this was.

Hey Top, think we might have bigger problems with our family club perception than the lads having a few beers and high japes at their Xmas party... 

The Christmas party looked tame to me.  Parties withiutboarteners get much more rowdy in my experience.

Doing business with gamblers or worse... that seems a sacking offence

I wonder what the contract says....  eg. If the contract is with an operating company?  If they are in breach if they or a parent go in to admin or receivership?  Any clauses firvreputstiknsl harm? What happens if payments dobt get made?

It will (should, surely for any normal company with normal legal processes… which definitely means it won’t) have a clause for reputational based breaks.

Can we get a new sponsor for the kits mid season? If we can and we know people from the club read on here, wonder if they'll go back to Walkers and try get them on the kits for the rest of the season to save face because they know fans would love the nostalgia aspect of having Walkers back as shirt sponsor.

I am shocked, literally shocked that the gambling company no one had heard of or could find much on has turned out to be dodgy.

 

I dont like taking constant shots at the board because I know it could be worse, but they do make it hard not to sometimes.

True.  Last party I went to withiutboarteners was frankly off the scale.  

 

That said, I agree our choice of sponsor is much worthier of censure than a Christmas party p1ss up.

To be fair to the board, who could see this coming?

 

Oh yeah, that’s right, absolutely everyone.

I honestly cannot see Whelan and Rudkin surviving after the last few weeks, both have overseen absolute shitshows on their sides of the business. Maybe explains Top seemingly taking a more visible role. 

But they conducted a thorough internal review and sacked Mike Stowell, how are things still going so wrong?!

Refund for all those who bought the shirts with the BC Game logo on it.

I disagree, someone will go for this.

 

Unfortunately I think Susan Whelan will be the one doing the sacking and the commercial director will get the chop. This is a major **** up and both should go

This is the kind of thing people who say "be careful what you wish for" about getting new owners, think would happen if we got new owners.

 

Accept it's happening now, with our current owners.

They are going to be collectors items in a decade.

[VLC86]

Re the shirts, in any normal club there is zero chance we can wear that sponsor at the weekend. But you know what happens…

Too many sold for that to happen unfortunately, if it happened a week into the deal then that would happen.

Surprised they sold even one of the hideous things

I’m a collector, and have all but 4 shirts since 1986 and I haven’t bought any this season.

[st albans fox]

I can’t see the truth about ultimate ownership coming to light 

that’s why you place these business’ in places like curucao. 
 

King power is not the owner of BC game btw. (But i reckon it’s the largest ‘investor’  in the past six months )

 

 

 

[Finnegan]

Everyone saying someone should be sacked etc. 

 

But hold on a minute. If the cynics on this forum are correct and this was less a real sponsorship deal and more a PSR / FFP scam so that the owners could put more of their money in to the club than sponsoring yourself allows... isn't this sort of a good thing? 

 

Because now we've got a perfectly good excuse to go and get another new sponsor and have two in one season...? In a year in which we're desperate for cash injections? 

 

And the only thing we lose is a bit of face? 

 

Like having money isn't our problem, right? Being allowed to spend it is. So even if it wasn't originally just a scam and we were expecting BC to pay monies they now won't, we were still spending based on income we expected to have by a contract and I imagine we're still covered then for PSR? 

 

I appreciate I'm waffling a bit here but it feels like people are over reacting a bit because they think we look incompetent when actually very few people outside of Leicester will give a shit, especially when half of the Premier League has got identical type sponsors?

This is the absolute worst case scenario.

 

Even though it's come after the title and FA Cup win, we will be smeared with cheating accusations in the same way Man City are. 

 

There's no other explanation as to why they'd pick this sponsor. You'd expect it from one of the 30 vape shops on the streets of Leicester. Not the football club ffs.

 

Does anyone from the Premier League do checks too? This isn't a great look for anybody.
