SaintBobby Posted 20 August, 2020 Share Posted 20 August, 2020 A few odd things going on at the moment. The shirt sponsor has pulled out, apparently (no confirmation from the club). The pitchside dining experience planned for Saturday and Sunday was cancelled on Tuesday due to “weather and availability”. The Matt Crocker zoom webinar planned for this week was suddenly cancelled yesterday with a stated vague aspiration to rearrange it next month or in October. Something big happening behind the scenes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 20 August, 2020 Share Posted 20 August, 2020 I think it's pretty clear something is happening with LD Sports. They have pulled out of Espanyol's kit sponsorship, theres the talk from Hypo above about money etc and the very few training pictures released so far say it all IMO. The training kit usually has an LD Sports logo somewhere on it (the back, front and centre, under UA logo)... its nowhere to be seen. Tomorrow will be very revealing.

Badger Posted 20 August, 2020 Share Posted 20 August, 2020 Wasn't 'more news on Friday' the story of 2007/8 ? Especially around the time of the Paul Allen takeover that never was. It became a byword for "sometime never..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 20 August, 2020 Share Posted 20 August, 2020 Espanyol are Chinese owned too. I hope the authorities look into this deeply, it's disgusting what bogus owners are able to do. The PL changed the rules AFTER Gao took us over, so if he tried to take us over now he wouldn't be able to. I think that says it all. Please, please can we have some good news that he's pissing off! Even if we get taken over by someone who has no investment immediately, at least it's not Gao. Chinese involvement atm stinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Saints Posted 21 August, 2020 Share Posted 21 August, 2020 This sponsorship shambles really needs to be investigated, as has been said earlier in this thread. How it was signed off by the relevant parties is so suspect, even us as fans knew it was dodgy as anything within seconds of seeing their website!
