Isn't this Mr Archer's doing?

Apologies if further down the page already... cue calls for fixture/Kanchelskis etc!

Nope, Archer has left the company.

 

[Wilts]

Any stakes/shareholding left at all?

Either way, its still a crap name for a league...

 

[Curious Orange]

Dunno whether he still has shares in Wickes and don't care, hell he still had shares in the Albion till a couple of years ago.

The Wickes deal doesn't appear to be the main sponsorship. It'll still be the Coca-Cola Championship.

Focus have sold the Wickes Division (December 2004), so you are right - he has nothing to do, now, with the sponsorship. But please note he is still Executive Director of the Focus Group, so you should continue to boycott Focus stores.

Yep, check this article from the Argus:
