samjp26 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) As I see similar questions popping up over and over again on here, I figured we may as well set some of the FAQ's and their answers as a means to stop having the same stuff spoken about over and over again. That way, when a question is asked yet again, the person asking can be simply forwarded here rather than a discussion being reiterated. I figured it would be a good idea, maybe I am wrong, in which case feel free to slate me. Here are a few to begin, if anybody else has anything then go ahead and add them on I guess:Q. When does the Genting sponsorship deal expire? A. It expires in July, meaning we will have a new sponsor on our shirt next season.Q. How much did X cost / how much does X earn / how long is X's contract? A. Here is a list of the transfer fees paid, weekly wage amounts and contract lengths for our current squad, based on the most reliable information possible.
