What I don't understand is why six clubs have access to premium sponsors while the rest of us have to scramble around with the disreputable companies left over? It seems to me that FFP rules are as much a cause of this unedifying situation as anything else and if OCI, Fortress or any other affiliated company were allowed to sponsor Villa, we wouldn't have to sell our souls to these awful entities. It all stinks of an uneven playing field.

Given the obscene wealth in the PL, based on global viewing figures, I am amazed at how obscure the sponsorships are. I'm not especially touchy about these things, but If the audience is that vast, why do we have to rely on a gambling company that adopts borderline paedophilia as a marketing strategy?
He was insistent that the dodgy advert was from an affiliate rather than them and they have a compliance unit to ensure nothing like that happens again. They are also very keen to get involved with our community work and the women's team don't have a problem with the deal.

Are they all based in Asia. I see all these various online betting apps and I have never heard of them. So where does the revenue come from to buy shop window space on a PL shirt? Is it all generated in Asia.

Working class....at what salary level do you move into and out of working class?Why is that awkward?I asked genuinely at what point is someone working class - is it someone who is working? What if they work in a job that is £250K per year?The Trotsky comment was based on some posters could talk about the weather and it would be Tory this and Brexit that and...... its like they have an obsession to factor it into every thread and discussion.Surely there are always several threads in off topic about politics - can we not just keep this main thread to football content?
