wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It feels wrong but I'm not sure there is really anything lawfully wrong with it. It needs to be considered wrong by plenty more people than us to make a change in that, though. Can't imagine the EFL really care as Wayne Rooney is going to be playing in the Championship.

Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Pretty sure it's wrong for the club sponsor to specifically pay for a player's wages. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if they are SPECIFICALLY doing that, or if the general sponsorship has been agreed at a totally coincidental time to cover his wages totally by accident guys.

wilsoncgp 9,228 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) I'm pretty sure 32Red will not be paying his wages. They'll pay Derby a fee to have their highest profile player wear the #32, which Derby will use to pay Rooney. Is it lawfully wrong for clubs to receive a sponsorship for a squad number? Players are already involved in club sponsorships, involving their numbers hardly seems like a massive jump. I'm not saying I morally agree with any of it but I don't see how this is hugely different from anything other football clubs do. I certainly think the stadium thing is dodgier than this.

SmogDane 4,052 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This equalizer from 20 years old Jonas Wind from FC Copenhagen against Red Star Belgrad is a copy of Panenkas 1976 winning goal in the European Championship Final - But that's not all.. It was the same stadium, the same end of the pitch!https://www.flashscore.dk/kamp/fiVqAHbG/#video 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I applied for 2 tickets at all of the Wembley games and didn't get a single one! Was it just final tickets you have ended up with? Yeah Wembley. I was lucky enough to get semi final tickets as well. Too good to pass up but bit of money to shell out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,246 Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Derby have just landed a sponsor deal. Instead of it being an extra billboard or stadium name it's just a number on a shirt. I'd say it's very shrewd by Derby and I imagine they will have checked things before doing it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I think Mo is a good signing for Sheffield United, he's got Premier League pedigree and offers them a bit of everything. Link to post Share on other sites
