I made another post today asking a similar thing regarding the McVitie’s deal. Guess we’ll find out. It would have to be fair market valuation due to the rules but it could be significant.

What if they become the main shirt sponsor? Is there a cap on that?

Maybe, not sure. The front of shirt sponsor with Corendon might expire this summer but don’t quote me on that. If it is, I would expect McVitie’s to be the front of shirt sponsor next season.

Don’t know if it’s been said on here yet but I’ve heard Steve Cooper was offered the job for a lot of money but turned it down as he’s waiting for a Premier League job. Seems Walter isn’t necessarily first choice.
Baz reckoned they’d spoke to cooper but he wasn’t interested, he’s holding out for a pl job.
Baz also mentioned (not cooper directly) that managers on gardening leave from pl clubs won’t drop down to the championship whilst they are still getting pl wages.
He’s turned down Norwich which ties up with what Baz suggested.
Baz didn’t think cooper would work within our structure

Cooper worked in an identical structure at Forest.

The delay in getting it over the line might be because he is getting his coaching team together and contracts for them, so we are not talking about one person here probable 3, I assume he needs a work permit, then his family matters to sort out. I guess these things are not as straight forward as we would like to believe.

Yep. And all of this should have been (and hopefully was) factored into the decision to change manager. It was never going to be smooth sailing compared to just continuing with the process we were on. It's a gamble.
