    "Barnsley Football Club have become aware of discriminatory and abusive posts emanating from representatives of our shirt sponsor HEX, circulating on social media".

    would that not have been more accurate and not inferring that it was something within the fan base.

    Can anyone corroborate the foodbank donations are legit or it is tasteless marketing? Every donation says Hex when it doesn’t have to, does it?

    Yeah but like I said, first it has to be confirmed they are definitely “representatives” and not bots or cult members.

    It would have only been 6 words if so.

    Whoever at the club that came up with that statement wants sacking. It's pathetic, right up there with the 21 word statement when sacking Stendel.

    They've already admitted that this Kuqi character has a financial input, his offensive tweets are not diminishing. Not sure what's to confirm.

    The club admitted it or Kuqi admitted it? Sorry I may have missed the club statement about it.
    That was a joke by the way.

    In the past, when posters (usually @SuperTyke) moaned about things at the club, I would often reply sarcastically, saying that the club purposely make decisions with the sole intention of alienating and annoying loyal fans.

    It now seems the club have read my previous posts and decided to implement my suggestion.

    "Emanating from Twitter accounts associated with our sponsor hex.com"

    That is irrefutable. They are associated with by their own association.

    Also Richard heart himself tweeted the following from his verified twitter account. They don't need to tippy toe around which company he is linked to. He's the founder of the bloody thing

    That would not have been an appropriate statement to put out, as it makes the judgement before you've had the enquiry.
