A new Sponsorship deal. ITS ABOUT TIME !!!!!A day before sacking manager Simon Grayson, English soccer side Leeds United announced Swiss luxury watch brand Ebel as an official partner for the remainder of the 2011/12 season.According to a statement released by the Championship club on Tuesday, as the official timing partner Ebel will âtime-reference the critical moments in the match via the giant screenâ at every home game at Elland Road. The deal will also see a giant clock positioned inside the new East Stand reception area at the stadium.Leeds United chief executive Shaun Harvey said: "The multi million pound redevelopment of the East Stand, combined with the global recognition of the Leeds United brand has provided the perfect environment for Ebel to join our growing Commercial Partners Programme. We are delighted to welcome another market leading brand to the club, and we look forward to activating the relationship with Ebel and their official stockists during the course of the season."
I still feel Bates and his marketing staff Charlotte Taylor and Laura Coates aren't getting enough deals for a club of our size. Fair play, this is a step forward.
