Good to see such opprobrium for betting industry sponsors.It is consistent with the Lerner years, when there was such outrage on here at taking hundreds of millions of pounds from a family which made its fortune from ruthlessly marketed and targeted predatory lending.
Quote from: dave.woodhall on June 04, 2015, 10:06:17 PMOne thing I'd love to know. We support a club in the most commercialised, money-grubbing league in the world, one which is driven by the fear that someone, somewhere, is unable to spend their every available penny, cent or yen on Premier League product. And yet we get sniffy about an 'unethical' sponsor. Why? Our entire existence is unethical, so why get so worked up about whether or not we get money from a bookie? And we're owned by somebody who owes a fair bit of his fortune to credit cards, which are the very work of the devil.

However, the grip it has taken over the game is of concern.
I'd agree with that to be honest.My problem with the industry is the greed - they never know when enough is enough, particularly around advertising.
Don't like the fact that Grealish is nowhere to be seen in this marketing material. As captain, he should be first in line surely?
