Could the delay be down to waiting on league approval for the new shirt sponsor? Seems likely, if it was FUN88 surely they would've just released it now.

I suppose it could have been a scheduled post based on an initial release date which has since been pushed back, possibly due to a hold-up with the sponsorship deal?

 

This would explain why it was posted, then promptly deleted and why Fun88 are still happily posting their usual NUFC content.

 

Like you say, if the release date is today, why delete the posts?

I reckon this is what happened. Quoting myself obviously [emoji38]

Two of three: Saudia Airlines, Aramco, and/or Saudi Golf. Shirt and sleeve sponsor

That’s the same guess as the ITK Twitter crowd tbf.

 

The problem is that Aramco is directly linked to PIF, and Saudi Golf is ran by one of the club’s directors, so either of those would immediately run foul of PL rules

Are you not allowed to be sponsored by any affiliated company now?

 

I honestly though it was just a case on inflated affiliated sponsorships?

 

Could they reject a Saudi sponsorship based on market value? Because that seems stupid tbh.

Yep - it can’t be an ‘affiliated party’ transaction.  Brought in back in October, oddly enough …

 

edit: sorry, yes ‘inflated’ affiliated party

Would the Premier League need to approve us changing our colours? 

 

It's the only thing that I can think of that would cause such a delay.
