The favourite trick of the corporate sponsor

Give the job to a ten year old boy so no-one complains.

But we should.

I have been to CR but twice this season and the sheer amount of AVIVA sponsorship makes it look like we are actually Norwich Union not Norwich City. Now we even have to have an animal called after the name of the company. How stupid do marketing people think we are?

I thought it was a joke at first this Lemur thing. I suppose we shouldn't get so upset about it when all he is going to do is wave at the kids in the family exposure but now they will all grow up thinking HE is the mascot of the club, not the Canary. How long before they are selling lemurs in the club shop?

Or maybe we should cut the kids some slack. Maybe they will be as pissed off about it as we are. I am going to show it to my kids tonight, I bet they say "What the f**k is that Dad?"
