Interesting update!



I can imagine it's like the wild west, teams are so desperate for for sponsors and cash that they will barely do any due diligence.
 
:lol: oh dear oh dear. I hate that we have Stake as a sponsor. It's grim. Shouldn't be in the game.
 
Well they've been banned from 26/27 at least. The concern has to be if these fake firms will actually end up paying up or not, not to mention the brand damage...
 
They binned off fags and booze without any apparent issue, so it's baffling to see something arguably worse front and centre of probably half the professional clubs in the country.

It's insidious at this stage, though. There are so many clubs of all levels now relying on the gambling sponsor money that a straight ban seems like it puts a tonne of clubs up shit creek financially.

But doesn't that only apply for front of shirt sponsors?
 
Yes I think you're right, sleeve will still be possible, better anyway...
