PM: NCFC. Dafabet is a really bad choice of sponsor.
I have no idea what the maximum available shirt sponsorship deal from a non betting company would be compared to what those leeches are paying.
As a Community Club though it would be great to see City showing some leadership and, to the extent possible, eschewing all gambling-related sponsorship across the club (obviously we couldn't have elected not to play in the "Sky Bet Championship" last season, but we could have lost the tacky orange LeoVegas s**te). Who knows it could even start a movement.
I think Dafabet is a terrible choice of sponsor and I wish we hadn't done it. Combined with the membership fiasco the Club are not handling this return to the Premiership very well at all off the field, though I remain very confident a great job is being done on it.
