It will all come down to money in the end.

Totally in favour of this, 32Red made a mockery of our sponsorship by carrying out that farce.
If we do drop them, we need to sort out a replacement quickly. Can’t have it ending up like when we ceased with 888 and didn’t have a new sponsor until just before the season began.

I'd love bye bye to any gambling firm on our shirts.....regardless of Derby & Rooney.
Surely it’s the EFL who should stop this nonesense with Rooney, if the sponsors are paying him then they employ him, and he shouldn’t be allowed to play for a football club unless it’s the club paying his wages....
Split ownership and all that nonesense....very dodgy territory....

Would love to have a sponsor whom we could have a child's shirt again.
May seem trivial to some, but I know it just cheapens it for some kids that they don't get the same shirt as their favourite players, etc.

That’s not what’s happening though, did you even read the article?

If 32Red offer North End the best deal then that's who we'll go with
I'll never buy a shirt with a gambling sponsor on. Ditch it and I'll buy one immediately.
So, by your reckoning, we shouldn't have Peter Ridsdale at the club as Hemmings pays him out his own pocket, not the clubs pocket...
Hmmm.
Good Luck to Derby. They spotted a loophole. They get a top top quality player.
I take issue with our sponsors strengthening our rivals though.
I'd happily see 32Red ditched to be honest.

It wasn't even a loophole. The quote from 32Red in the article states that they invited clubs to be as inventive as possible so that the sponsorship deal would benefit the club and the sponsor in the best way possible. Derby saw a way to be creative and got it done.

'Officially'?
Surely if Derby and 32red where breaking the rules the authorities would do something about it? If PNE were breaking the rules with Ridders they definitely would.
Agreed.

It's a bit sour grapes to me. They made a smart call and got themselves an extra £1.5m in sponsorship cash to play with.
But who is actually paying him?
What is the link with his ‘sponsors’?
If it’s directly from the sponsors that could bring up ownership and registration issues.
If it’s the club paying that means the sponsors are paying the money into the club, it’s just another income stream, Derby must therefore be paying Rooney, but they could use it to pay anyone.
Just more bending of the rules by a club who are already under scrutiny for flouting the financial regulations.
or even that our own youth team is allowed to wear ! totally agree with you.
