Sportpesa

Its not some dodgy Kenyan betting company, is my point.

Nor is it small time.

Just a wee bit above being small time looking at NEC's numbers for 2019

Number of employees
Revenue	¥2.91 trillion (2019)[1]
Operating income	¥58.5 billion (2019)[1]
Net income	¥40.2 billion (2019)[1]
Total assets	¥2.95 trillion (2019)[1]
Total equity	¥1.06 trillion (2019)[1]

I’ll be glad when that crap font is no longer on our shirt.

Whoever it is now least ( hopefully ) it’s worth actual money

Anyone trying to be edgy by saying they actually liked them?

I was happy with me free shirt mikey.
Never used them since, and as an absolute degenerate gambler, that tells you something.

Good. Bad example.

Worst sponsor we’ve ever had imo.

And I’m basing that purely on how it looked on the shirt.

I’ve got no arguments on the gambling stance either way, as I don’t gamble myself.

They were pretty much unlikable.

Embarrassed us on social media - annoyed some people
Gambling company - annoyed some people
Ugly logo on shirt - annoyed some people

They did give away free shirts to some people which those people liked. But those people had to set up a gambling account to get those shirts...which annoyed different people.

I was largely indifferent.

I miss the Chang elephants from an aesthetic point of view personally but if we can get in someone who satisfies the moral and financial wants of the club and fans then all the better.

Great that we are getting good media publicity from this when in reality its likely only to get some more dirty Russian money pumped in lol

 

[charlie atkins]

we had to take what we could get, at the end of the day they helped us in time of need

Alcohol in small quantities has health benefits, gambling only benefits the scam artists running the illusion that you can win.

I’m sure all the drink companies are aiming to have people sipping a glass of red wine a couple of times a week.

If our next kit has NEC as the sponsor and we sign Everton Soares so we can have Everton on the back I’ll lose my mind. Get Le Coq Sportif as the kit maker and Hafnia as sleeve sponsor and I’m done...

If the SportPesa deal was worth around 7m per annum you can guess the next one with one of Usmanov’s companies will be worth at least 15m per annum.

Was actually £9.6 mil a year I think mate.

But yes 3 years later you'll expect atleast £15 million.

If its NEC or someone not USM related maybe £11-12 million but would still expect an increase.
