Why wait until next week?
Eales certainly has decent contacts from his private equity days, could be a household name.

Every time we score a goal can we get Barry to announce it. Bang and the goal is in! It does seem a bit pointless telling us we have 3 new sponsors but were not telling you until the 3rd August. JUST WAIT!!

Wait for the; "We've go more sponsors than players" And " surely we should focus on getting the team right on the pitch before working on the commercial issues"
Comments.

All part of the big picture really. With bigger and better sponsors comes more money which means more cash to spend on players and other improvements within the club.

I would guess it's all happened fairly quickly and they want to have maximum impact, so next weeks game and photoshoot will give them that? I expect the new sponsors will be guests at the game as well. It does highlight that Lenagan hadn't managed to get one for the second season running too!

Hopefully the amount of money generated by these deals more than covers the additional expenses incurred by hiring Ashton and the remainder of the off-pitch personnel.

If they're Eales' companies will we get revenue from them? Because I am not sure we did last year with Animalates?

It already said Ashton's wage is being paid by the holding company not the club. Club sponsorship will go into the club

Which raises the question as to whether the club will be charged a consultancy fee by ENSCO for the provision of their services. And before everyone jumps down my throat and says that's just unlikely and being negative for the sake of it - it's something which has happened at plenty of other clubs and also at OUFC in the recent past.

I'd have thought so. As ENSCO is not parent company of OUFC, it will be able to file abbreviated accounts with no Profit and Loss account or disclosures about directors' pay etc. I guess that's why they're doing it that way rather than through the club payroll.

I thought I read they are new sponsors to the club brought about by links to the new directors.

Im surprised Baldy, didn't start this thread. Normally quick to mention sponsor deals, only when It concerns Man U i guess. Im disappointed Baldy.

3 weeks. Take over a club, find a main sponsor(or3) sort out the deals , get the shirts made . In the mean time, try and build a squad , appoint staff, meet fans groups. Would say they have moved pretty quickly. But don't worry bazz I'm sure getting u in ur replica shirt is one of their top priorities . The commercial department has done more in the last 3 weeks than they have in the last 3 years

Really, I thought u would have mentioned that all ready, oh no wait!!! He said he wants most of it done before the wolves game, how about u give it till then. Anything else, that's the team and kit so far

Also Collins and long are both very good signings so far, so not a bad start. Can't wait to see the main striker, just hope it's not a GW style announcement where everyone just goes ohhhhhhhh
