One that springs to mind will be the ex Everton Coach that FOUND Wayne Rooney. Taken on at great expense and how many Wayne Rooneys or even Gordon Chilvers' did he find. Big fat zero.
In my time of supplying the kits the MANY times we were told as were the supporters that major sponsorship was coming in. Has that EVER happened. No. One season, SC's first, Double G sponsored the Reserves and then the first team when no other promised major deal was forthcoming. And i have the paperwork as to why Double G bailed them out that season.
Ask yourself everybody why we cannot get any of the major industries in King's Lynn and beyond on board. There are enough major companies on the Hardwick alone without having to venture further afield but not ONE will put their name on the front of a Lynn shirt. That is not being disrespectful of the away shirt sponsor!
Bespak were the last well before this regime and that was done by raffle ticket to which a young lady supporters name was the winning ticket. I believe she then was contacted by Bespak and they made a donation to a charity and subsequently Bespak went on the front of that particular shirt but they never followed that up after that season.
Nikki if you had all the programmes over the seasons and read the promises and false information you would realise what i mean. Unfortunately to many are wearing blinkers and hope that we are in the promised land. . They need to take the blinkers off and see the real deal. Not a pretty sight.
