Anyone else see this and know what it might mean for us?

I've not been able to find anything other than this. (I've not looked like either)

Bring back the elephants.

Blimey! Potentially the shortest sponsorship arrangement we have ever had!!!

ijjysmith · June 23, 2017

After a little digging it might just only be in Kenya or wherever.

We are sponsored by SportPesa UK so might be ok.

Doesn't sound great though does it?

It's the most "Everton That" thing to happen in a while that's for sure

Seems very dodgy

Hope its true, im sure there is massive penalty for breaking the contract and we will go and get another sponsor.

I believe though we are sponsored by Sportpesa Uk Ltd.

Worst case scenario they pull out and will have to pay a penalty clause which all sponsorship deals have if one party wishes to break from the deal, we get a payout and are then free to arrange another - hopefully better and less grubby sponsor

I would be surprised if it applies to our sponsorship. I don't like this deal but even if things were to go wrong with it, I don't suppose it would be all that easy to find a replacement, if we had to settle for SportPesa in the first place. Everything about them seems second-rate.

Oooooh boy, that doesn't sound good. Surely a breach of agreement. Don't know what that means for us.

And all the product with their logo on it that's already been produced ? It would be a nightmare.

I don't think it'd apply to us, but wouldn't be surprised - always seemed like a dodgy company.

can we get NEC back? what about Hafnia what are they up to these days?

This article suggests it's only their Kenyan sponsorships for definite at the moment - but then says at the end it's not sure about foreign ones

Exactly this.
