Mr Plow Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 What’s happened to them? Seen clubs covering up their logo on kits and some clubs wearing 2 SL sleeve patches to cover them up. Have they gone bust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiganermike Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Their name was still on advertising boards at Wigan v Leigh yesterday so they must still be going (though I have no idea what they do). I would guess that if some clubs are covering their logo then it is connected to individual sponsorship deals between Iqoniq and those particular clubs.

Tommygilf Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 (edited) The tweet thread is in Dutch, the Article is in Spanish, but the gist seems to be that several clubs across a number of sports are pulling back from Iqoniq and/or not wanting to be linked. Suggestions in the article that it is a scam and related to a dodgy new Cryptocurrency. Also states that the people and money is from Qatar and Monaco, yet the company is based in Estonia's second city Tartu. See below: Not to put a real downer but wasn't it reported that these guys had a stake in Wigan Warriors? Edited August 2 by Tommygilf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are listed as one of the official partners (so a sponsor) on the Wigan club website and are also featured alongside the various social media with the heading 'follow us on Iqoniq' same as for other social media platforms. The only person I can remember buying a stake in Wigan recently is a businessman called Mike Danson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clogiron Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 When you are as skint as RL is your grateful for any offers of finance without asking too many questions about its provence as has been illustrated far too many times before with club owners where the 'fit and proper persons' test seems to consist of 1 question, 'have you got any money' so to expect sponsorship to be any different on the back of the Stobart & Papa Johns deals is wishful thinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Literally no idea what it is, but if they were offering Wigan more money than anyone else and Wigan deemed them suitable then what’s the problem - I just hope they got their money up front.

Hopefully they learnt that lesson with the Applicado FS sponsorship which I seem to recall went sour mid season when the company liquidated.

That would explain why handball authorities and clubs were so in love with it. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

gazza77 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Doesn't say much for the benefit of sponsorship when none of the supposed target audience seems to have a clue what they do. 1 Please view my photos. http://www.hughesphoto.co.uk/ Little Nook Farm - Caravan Club Certificated Location in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley. http://www.facebook.com/LittleNookFarm Little Nook Cottage - 2-bed self-catering cottage in the heart of the Pennines overlooking Hebden Bridge and the Calder Valley.
