Aston Villa Sponsorship Deal with Online Company

According to Reuters, Aston Villa has conditionally agreed a two-year sponsorship deal with internet company 32Red. 32Red will pay Villa a "basic six figure sum per season" and Villa players will wear the company's logo on their home and away shirts starting next season.

The "arrangement" secures initial seasonal payments and a potential share in revenue drawn from 32Red's "online services."

Poor Villa. Just when Man U gets the big one... Not exactly the smartest move, but Villa must be desperate.

Still, they could've waited for a more respectable sponsor, don't you think?
