Probiz extend Rovers deal
10:45am Thursday 17th January 2013 in Sport
Blackburn Rovers have extended their commercial partnership with PROBIZ Excellence Ltd.
PROBIZ, which has over 400 accountancy offices, had already committed to stay as main shirt sponsor until the end of this month, but have now agreed to continue on the front of the famous blue-and-white halves until the end of the season.
Mr Nahaboo, founder, who was born in Blackburn, said: “There is a mixture of publicity facing the club, but that has never put me off supporting a club that will eventually stabilise and show its true worth and enter the Premier League once again.
“I'd like to support the club over the forthcoming years and look forward to building a relation with both the fans and management team. The good times are not far off and I believe the club can make the play-offs this year. I wish Michael Appleton every success in steering this club back to the top flight."
Greg Coar, Rovers’ Head of Commercial and Marketing said: “This is great news for the club. It’s fantastic that PROBIZ have enjoyed the initial stages of our relationship to the extent that they are keen to further cement their support.
"In fairness, Feisal did say he would invest more with the club as he became more familiar with club personnel and within a short period of time he has shown his personal and corporate integrity in his actions."

Truthfully, glad we've got a sponsor but I won't be getting it put on my shirt, I always think the shirts look better without a sponsor on the front!

We need intelligent people at our club who know the English game Mr Singhe has proved an expensive failure and another poor appointment decision by the Venkeys.

We may have been better off asking his accountancy firm to run our club instead of Shebby who has lost the club over a million pounds in sacking H Berg after 10 games in charge. We need intelligent people at our club who know the English game Mr Singhe has proved an expensive failure and another poor appointment decision by the Venkeys.

Good news on the commercial partnership continuing. No mention of it on the Probiz website though? They do show WBA, Wolves and Shef Utd as partners, oh and Featherstone Rovers !

It's like Kevin Peterson saying he's English when he's South African. Or Bradley Wiggins saying he's British when he was born in Belgium.
You are where you were born.
Up to Rovers!

Is that true that Greg Coar is Rob Coars son? If that is true then "what a talented family!" just imagine all those commercial and marketing people in the UK and it turns out to be Rob Coar's son is the most talented and best qualified to get the job at Rovers! Or is it just that he is a completely useless lump who can't wipe his a@rse without his Dad doing it for him.
