It doesn’t surprise me in the slightest that a Premier League club will strike a deal with the devil, but what never ceases to amaze me is that adults will buy and wear shirts with these logos on.
Why pay good money to walk around advertising their company for them?

or moan about sponsorship shirt deals when those making the shirts are getting paid pennies and working in atrocious conditions and buy them

Blaming supporters now?

Fair play to the supporters trust for exposing Purslow and the board for this appalling decision. Are we that hard up for cash that we need a betting "partner"? Is the damage this disgusting industry causes to our community not considered by the club at all??

Forget the transfer window, this business decision should cause a lot more concern as to the direction of the club.

The Norwich problems with the porny advertising - was that actually BK whatever they're called, or was it just some affiliate marketer doing it?

Because they're two totally different things if so.

The government has to take control of this and kick gambling ads out football.
The government took control 3 years ago; they'll sort it.

BK8 appear to have done everything a reasonable person would hope they would do, in order to prevent affiliates from engaging in behaviours which didn't fully align with their brand.

Around 500 people a year, mostly young men, commit suicide, after getting hooked on gambling by these greedy betting companies. That is why I am extremely disappointed with Villa agreeing this deal with BK8. The government has to take control of this and kick gambling ads out football.

Annual suicide figures are much higher (in the UK, at least).

Some may or may not be attributed to problems with gambling.

We get a paragraph in this article. I assume, as the ban is voluntary, that we'll be ploughing on with the deal with BK8. :(

Gambling sponsors will be removed from the front all PL kits starting 25/26. Which is great news long term. Still means we get BK8 for 2 seasons.

A shame really. Betting can be a lot of fun, and can teach a person plenty.

I see some off-shoot of XR is planning another misplaced protest at Aintree this weekend.

David Michael on the MOMS podcast was saying that the club viewed this as the last opportunity to get a bumper shirt sponsorship deal before the ban kicks in. It sounds like gambling firms pay a lot more than anyone else to sponsor mid-ranking EPL teams.

So can cocaine, but I wouldn't want that on the front of a shirt either.
