Top of the Class Gringo.

Word on the grapevine is that the amount is a good bit more than our previous sponsorship deal.

Thankfully the (alleged) ineptitude of <name removed> didn't cost us this deal - despite the fact he initially told FlyBe.com that he didn't have time to speak to them.  Top marks to Alan Savage for stepping in and rekindling talks.

Good news but if the edited allegation is true then it's high time we looked at restructuring our off field management.

If somebody will tell me what the name is I will feckin sit down.  :rotflmao:
