lobster Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Our new shirt sponsor Wandisco seems to be in deep doggy doo . Currently under investigation by the US Regulators for massively overstating revenues , CEO Dave Richards has resigned ( for the record he is no relation to Sir Dave Richards the serial failure) and are now looking at staff cuts of about one third . They were our shirt sponsor in 2013 and our former CEO Nick Parker worked for them after leaving Wednesday . He jumped ship as soon as they were floated ,I hope we were paid in advance We seem to have a history of dodgy shirt sponsors , Remember the MHS Group whose founder Malcolm H Stockdale wanted to buy Wednesday before going bust , then there was Milan's mate from Azerbaijan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling_Wolf Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Let's hope this is separately survivable for our distinctive sponsor and their logo. It'd be just typical if we lost them at this stage of the relationship. Especially as my personal musical genius thought of an alleged song for us & the flat cap at York. 😉 (Nicking Portsmouth chant.) 🎵 'Ayup Wednesday, Wednesday ayup!' 🎶 Aithenkyew. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Company's fold all the time without being dodgy. I accept Land of Fire was a bit nutty, but even then I think MM and even Mamadov were under the impression it was happening until it wasn't.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 The Stalk financial experts are on the case I see. To cut out the crap, basically Wandisco - the group funded / agreed to pay the sponsorship deal of $362k that Eyup have with SWFC for this upcoming 2023/24 season. Whether the contract says this is paid up front in full or not - no one other than the parties will know. The financial sleuths commenting that Eyup latest accounts show not a lot, its a fucking start up - what do they expect. There is the potential for upto an additional $362k based on how the 2023/24 season goes. So my astute financial analysis suggests that cannot be determined until May 2024. I would envisage if we are mid table that will entitle us to 0% of 362k in any event. If this deal was agreed in 2022, then the accounting issues of Wandisco Group only really came to light in March this year. Following the practices of Autonomy the old Spurs sponsor that was acquired by Hewlett Packard now subject to legal proceedings. It smacks of Dave Richards forward planning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only concern for me is we’ve already spent that money in the same way we’ll borrow money against future seasons income from multi year tickets The payment in 2022 I hate to break it to you, but I suspect all the season ticket monies for 2023/24 season are long spent as well.

Considering it was a deal done when we were a League 1 club it could be due if we're a championship club at the end of this season Yes could be the case, I have no idea as had none of the experts on Stalk But they were busy shooting down the deal anyway to query the business logic of DC - when most of them wouldn't be able to run a business as a Deliveroo driver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
