If it's a 24 month contract then they can't. Hopefully the club were smart enough to offer a 23 month contract.
Having read what Mark Maguire has said about the sponsorship deal, I'm actually quite impressed with it now. Don't know if anyone else has seen this but the HDM say we'll be talking to Danns today. Nothing on the sports village yet though.
So long as it's still adidas they could unveil next season's kit early without any compromise on sponsorship deals though. Wasn't it when Sportscard became sponsor that we actually wore the new kit for our final league game of the season as well?
