It happened recently to the bubble who owns Notts Forest, as he owns Olypiakos as well and he put his shares into a blind trust
That maybe how Trivela world deal with it if the need arises
The Poundland situation may become a bit clearer this week:
Deal end this season, really would not expect it to continue.
Hopefully get a bigger and better deal this time around, wasnât the Poundland deal pitiful in reality?
Thought they said it was the best deal we have ever had?
Probably be No-Fo for shirts and something crazy like Raytheon or for the stadium.
Pretty low bar, but sure there was something about it not actually being much at all. Was negotiated under Pomletts tenure by Whalley though.
I was told by someone (who works in accounts at Poundland) that it was in the region of ÂŁ300,000 for the term of the sponsorship
So 100k per year for stadium naming, a stand naming, and shirt sponsorship - might just about have been enough to cover DJs wages then.
I can only say what I was told, I was just as shocked tbh
So, tales within tales. Probably our most lucrative deal, also probably still shite given the management history.
Does Walsall manufacture anything anymore, like any defence or nuclear contractors we could convince to become our sponsors. Money in that!

I have a cunning plan, more cunning than putting a fox in charge of the Ministry of Cunning. The area seems to have a plethora of manufacturers of scratchings. Could this be a super tax efficient way of paying the players if we attracted one as main sponsors to enable us to pay the players without paying taxes/pesky NIC contributions and pension contributions. Simply take goods from said manufacturer in lieu of money and use the said goods to pay the players. Sounds like a plan, Stan

Had a west Brom mate tell me years ago they have the best fan zone in the country and thatâs why people would rather go to the Hawthornes.
Iâve never been so just assumed he was right, nice to know people enjoy our Locker and the pop up Carling tents etc. Like getting a compliment about how your wife looks, I knew sheâs fit but when itâs all you see you forget sheâs fitter than all the birds in SandwellâŚ

My Mrs used to be an Albion fan.
It was one of my proudest moments when her Dad popped round one Sunday morning and she was wearing an old Walsall shirt of mine (the one from when we beat them 4-1 no less)
He never really liked me much but that sort of confirmed it was a permanent situation.

Did he stop long then
Most away fans that come into the Locker that get speaking to me always comment on how good of a facility it is and that they wish they had something similar

But itâs only a"tarted up garage, selling overpriced shit beer" according to some of our own fans.

I wonder how many Trivela investors and American contacts young Ben Boycott is bringing over with him from the US? Walsall at Wembley is an ideal opportunity to showcase the club to the wider investor sector and build a bigger profile with them.
