It's ok saying the clubs voted for it What were the other options ? a multi million pound emirates sponsorship or another baked bean supplier paying a couple of grand.....
its a poop sponsorship deal no one can argue otherwise.....
The country doesn't vote for a prime minister, we vote for a local candidate to represent our relevant part of the country.
The other deal on the table was a multi-million pound betting partner that would have increased clubs revenues above and beyond the engage deal. The RFL advised on the betting partner, their own operational budget also gets massively hit without a good centralised deal, stobart had support "in the room" and got a better hearing than the betting partner.
Central sponsors usually pay a lot of money as they are guaranteed a lot of exposure across all clubs, the stobart deal is very poor as you say.
