    You don't have to look far to see due diligence blow up in a club's face

    One out of how many - and who? I think Sparks and Longo know what they are doing when it comes to the commercial side of the business.

    In recent years, Mittons. Although I don't think any of their sponsorship monies were outstanding.

    If we are looking at the correct company profile (not sure we are)
    They are in negative equity and not exactly "cash/asset rich"

    Despite the similarity in names, are you absolutely sure that this is the same company which is the club's new partner? It's a concern that this might be a company which is in danger of being struck off for failing to submit its accounts to CH although in fairness the latest striking off action has now been discontinued by CH.

    Edit: Yes, having looked at the shareholding, it looks very much like it is the same company!

    The info on companies house is the same company, or linked in some way. Vladimir Loungenov is a director listed on companies house and the Mbanq website. The one we're looking at is probably a UK subsidiary or similar I guess?

    yep it’s the UK subsidiary probably set up for regulatory reasons and to run at a loss permembtly for tax purposes but the worry is that they can not comply with regulatory things like filing accounts etc.

    just does not fill me with confidence

    Don't worry, this is just the first of a number of exciting announcements.

    Apparently.

    Must be worth very little. We will need all the income we can get if we get promoted.

    I think it's natural to assume there's more to it because that sponsorship makes absolutely no sense on the face of it.

    It was the ITV sports company that went bust and left us in the mire

    They've found a sponsor to provide the pool tables in the main stand?
