Going by this logic, "The Happy Egg" sponsor we had a few years back would imply they were at least well, good eggs in general.
Apparently a lot, EFL record so the club says. Far less. And no, we're potless and no one will pay any attention anyway if little old Watford make a stand.
I have only lost £5000 with them so far, just know a big win is around the corner though. Thanks for the chance to win big Gino and co.
To put it into context MrQ was fined £600k, earlier this year William Hill was fined a record £19.2m for similar offenses.
Apparently it's £1m a year according to Leventhal which is a lot for an EFL club. I'd imagine that's significantly more than some of the smaller PL teams are getting (Yes i'm looking at you, Luton). Commercial directors in football are some of the scummiest, money hungry pieces of **** i've ever come across. They're all snake oil salesmen who would sell their own kids if they got a good price. Sadly it's usually encouraged by the people above them.
My son, when he was about 7, told me to sell him. When I asked why he said, "Because about two hours later you'll be paid double the amount to take me back."
As bad as it is, Mr Q haven’t yet chopped a journalist into little bits, so we still look better than Newcastle.
Was that despite telling shareholders at a meeting that they would be “debt free by the end of the season”?

Remember the War Crimes committed by Happy Egg mercenaries? Exploding Beko Washing machines that become sentient and attempted to take over the world? The list goes on...
At least the Biko sponsorship was all in the name of a good cause and must have helped with the eventual release of Mandela ?
