Whilst perusing the OS, I came across the list of (main global sponsors)
Now I remember when I changed from being a Chelsea fan, when we won the FA cup in 2011, the list of sponsors on the pre-Wix (very good, but Wix finally seems to be getting back to that level) OS was 2 very very short lines of names.
It's the football business these days, clearly, along with large dollops of TV money. Bums on seats, as proved by Covid, is secondary. :-(
I just find it remarkable that Abu Dhabi has control of so many of the world's leading brands these days... Surely the US would have blocked the takeover of Intel, Cisco & SAP by HRH Sheik Mansoor, on the grounds of national security.
But hey, what do I, a humble Chelsea outcast know about international finance... I can read so much more detailed analysis on RAWK and the cafe.
From memory most of the sponsors have been with us for years now, the only 'real' change being the switch to Puma
