'Related Party Transactions', they are called, and UEFA can just put a line through them in the calculations. I guess this is one of the reasons Mike Ashley doesn't have 'Sports Direct' on Newcastle shirts.
You have to wonder about a business plan for funding a football club that relies on selling tickets for three years hence, and the Chairman starting-up a sports kit manufacturer that doesn't seem able to produce shirts in volume, a yet to be launched Energy Drink and a local Taxi firm, just so they can provide sponsorship?

What they can spend is determined by the club's turnover, as I understand it. Mind you, that understanding could very well be flawed. Attachment 6033
