I thought bank runs were a thing of the past.

Northern Rock may have a savior (or saviour):

If this deal goes through, Northern Rock would remain solvent & honor their sponsorship contract. That being said, if Virgin saves Northern Rock, you could have new jerseys with "Virgin Money" on the front.

I'm sure Newcastle has a clause in their sponsorship contract which would allow them to court other companies should Northern Rock (or any other shirt sponsor) collapse financially.

Either way it's win-win for the club.
