£150k is not a lot of money - it’s not the difference between signing a player or not, it’s peanuts, and we don’t know it’s even that much, chances are it’s less - given Sunderland we’re in league one last year so you’d think they’d have got top dollar. Not worth the reputation damage.
If your happy that OUR club is associated with these types of people maybe you need to take a long hard look in the mirror and try to find a moral compass.
Slight difference here in that h*x appear to be funded and supported entirely by crypto-bros who come across as aggressive homophobic racists. I don't want them anywhere near by BFC and won't be going anywhere near Oakwell until we bin then off. Money only goes so far, morality is an issue here too. If we can't find a sponsor and that means Helik and Styles have to leave, and we go down, so be it. I'll just support a League Two side next season. But not if they're involved with these kind of money grubbing hate mongers. Also, that shirt is a bloody eyesore.
10 million in shirt sales. TEN MILLION. We should let them sponsor us twice. Think about that claim, think about how ridiculous it is. Like how stupid you'd have to be to say it. All the other claims are on the same level.
Brent Morrisey, I think, as he is the one named in the announcement and who thanked this guy and one other for making the sponsorship happen.
If he'd done any sort of research he'd know that, in a typical season, he'd be struggling to find any stock in the regular sizes by mid-September.
It made me laugh so much. 1) Why would every Hex holder buy a shirt? Or, really, even any Hex holder buy a shirt? and 2) As if we’d ever have the stock to sell loads extra. Maybe the ‘7 or even 8’. Maybe.
Confirmation, if any were required, that the twitter profile with the most objectionable views of those exposed, is one of the main personnel involved in this deal. Regrettably, it seems that those involved in putting this together within BFC appear to have failed to carry out the most basic, fundamental due diligence that would have been expected of them.
Think of the investment value of that shirt though!! It could go through the roof! Or just through the washer.
Our supplier in Vietnam struggled with what I presume with relegation was a smaller than normal shirts order. They would have zero chance of keeping up if these Hex investors are of their word and buy a shirt.
We could sell them the shirts in mini format that hang in the car window. Sell at full shirt price then advise the hex shirt buyer that there is a risk that the shirt can increase or decrease when investing
It’s disappointing and frustrating that the club didn’t do due diligence on Hex and it’s key figures. But it’s not surprising. This is same club that last year signed a striker in Obbi Oulare that had barely played football in the last 5 years let alone score goals and make him one of the highest earners at the club. This is also the same club that if it had looked into his past would’ve seen Khaled El-Ahmed should’ve never been hired to be a CEO for a professional football club, he was let go by Djurgårdens IF for being involved in shady sponsorship deals (sound familiar) whilst he was only a scout at the club. He’d also never been a CEO at a football club, only ever a scout and very briefly a coach.
Lol at the shirt buying comment. We wouldn’t have enough shirts even if that many people wished to buy them. It’s all a scam I don’t know how anyone can think otherwise.
I genuinely believe these hex nutters are that committed to the brand/cult they would buy a shirt with it on. These are the same people who buy pictures of cartoon monkeys, I have no doubt that they would if they could, however you are absolutely right on point two.
