Shows that the board's concerns over commercial side being so **** were accurate, there was no chance of us getting a good sponsorship deal with Cortese as he pissed off the potential ad-buyers. Oh, and he was the one who ripped up the Adidas contract and went in house (good reason for that though). Wasn't our commercial income from last years accounts comparable to Watford?
I'm aware. But there were major (potential) sponsors who refused to work with us while he was at the club. Sony, I believe, refused to touch us because of the way they were treated.
i think the point was that we couldn't build bridges quickly enough with high value sponsors after his departure, rather than cortese having signed up a bad deal. efb
