Agree. Brunt got quite a lot of free publicity about his new fitness centre, too, but nobody was obliged to use it. You could argue if you wanted that a potential sponsor who was a competitor might be peed off. But anyway, giving a little helping hand to our players seems the right thing to do.This isn't the public sector. One private company is perfectly entitled to promote another private company if it chooses to, for whatever reason. Speaking personally, it would annoy me if it was overdone. But an isolated congratulation - especially to the establishment of a new local firm that will potentially create local jobs - is fine by me.
If it also shows Lee that he's at a place that will give him a small helping hand like this, it may be reciprocated in the future.
