The source quotes in that article sound a bit bitter. Derby have simply been more creative and extracted a better deal from negotiations than we did.
Bye bye 32Red?

Yes, really.Really?
Seems to me it would be more principled and ethical to drop the sponsor with zero self-serving fanfare.
Likewise, when you say we "need to be the first club to do it though", I would say being e.g. the second club to do it (or third, or fourth...) would be no less principled or ethical.

Obviously you've decided to take the ultra ethical stance (dare I suggest primarily to take issue with my post 😉 )
Obviously I'm looking to take commercial benefit from it.
End of.

Especially not when it's also labelled "principled and ethical".
If it's important to do it because it's the principled and ethical thing to do, then just do it.

Anyone would think the time to discuss club sponsorships was on the horizon.
Was it not only a one year deal?Anyone would think the time to discuss club sponsorships was on the horizon.
If it weren't for the fact that we end up with badged training kits I'd be up for us going with Paddy Power and their sponsor free kit campaign as a compromise...
I bet the club don't give a damn just so long as the get the money.

Be nice if when we play Derby, we have "F*ck 32red" or no sponsor on our shirts. No Sponsor could be blamed on a Clerical error.
