Have to tip my hat and say very well done to Sheffield Wednesday. They have declined a lucartive sponsorhip with a loan company. I am especially impressed that they recognize "we take great pride in our standing as a community focused football club and believe this partnership would not have been welcomed by the majority of our supporters.â My opinion of the Wendies has risen dramatically http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...ayday-lender-as-sponsorship-deal-8613057.html
Don't know the full details of Portsmouth's financial history, but wasn't it Gaydamak who did the most damage to that club? But then I doubt either of them would charge a club 4000% APR ... I think this is a good move by Wednesday. **** those shylock bastards, hope we get rid of ours asap.
It was under Mandaric that Redknapp spent a fortune and ran up massive debts. He's also been charged with two counts of fax evasion, though he got off both.
