Premier League shirt sponsor deals for this season

It's ridiculous how many are sponsored by gambling companies. I like a bet, dont get me wrong and over the years i learned the hard way but this gambling malarkey is shoved down our throats from every angle possible. It destroys lives. The government should be ashamed, perhaps if they weren't making millions of pounds out of it themselves they'd address the issue more seriously. Labour started the gambling trend glamourising it on television through multiple advertising and allowing bookmakers to open up loads of shops on every high st in every town. This is done purely because of the machines inside these bookies. The government exploits the poor, kin rats lot on em.

Now all you see at football is gamble, gamble, gamble. It's all over the place from being on shirts to sponsoring stadiums to going round on the electronic advertising hoardings to being on tv every live match at every opportunity. It's wrong.

The Premier league stinks from top to bottom.

This is a thing kids look up to, these footballers don't cover themselves in glory diving and cheating. Gambling is shoved in your face. Hardly a precedent to set kids is it? Everybugga turns a blind eye to all this. Something as popular as the PL should be setting an example imo

Very interesting looking at those wages with Huddersfield Town promoted the following season.

Thir**** Chinese Super League clubs have been told to clear debts or face a ban from the competition next season.
The Chinese Football Association (CFA) wrote to all but three of the country's 16 top-flight clubs, as well as five lower-league teams.
The CFA claimed the clubs had outstanding debts on player transfers, salaries or bonuses.
What a farce.
Now they're talking about playing some Premier league games in the US, China & Australia to increase income.
How much money do they want? Who will benefit from this extra money?
Players & agents. Nobody else.

I heard on radio about 5 or 6 years ago that eventually we will see the FA cup final played in New York or California
Never [I thought] but then I thought about it
More money down that route you see
