    One of their sponsors is WeWork. They filed for bankruptcy recently. How does that work??

        Hey. I just wanted you to know that you can’t just say the word “bankruptcy” and expect anything to happen

        Yeah and generally sponsors pay in advance or at least installments so even if they could just cut it early they are probably already locked in just on that they already paid.

      It’s okay, there will be no lay offs as they didn’t actually have any staff. Their purpose was to sponsor Man CIty and they achieved that already

      Real shame because they could have got done nice free advertising from the latest David Fincher movie

      I’m guessing they signed a multi-year sponsorship and are contractually obligated to see it through

      The accounts are for last season. So the bankruptcy wouldn’t have any baring the results for that season.

      Didn’t WeWork valued at 40B+ at one point?
      This sounds like when some 14-year-old tried to make Asahi a no-name company when City signed a deal with them.
