Quick point.

As blues, a very small but relevant point we use when defending the club is asking where the criticism is of Arsenal (Emirates), Liverpool (Standard chartered) and the likes (just two examples of my overall point here..).

We're often met by the response that this is different because it's not actual ownership of the club but merely shirt and/or stadium sponsors.

So here's the rub..the fact these dubious organisations such as Emirates or Chartered can have their names plastered on shirts and stadium of major clubs, without ever being questioned regarding their principles or morals, is surely.....Sportswashing?

A clubs ownership who are slated every single day without fail, regularly brought to the forefront by the media and human rights abuses discussed and highlighted at every single opportunity isn't washing anything. Quietly sponsoring clubs without having to worry about any of the above, I would suggest, is.

We are being blanked in the media at the moment, no mention good, or bad, their new tactic?

To be fair the BBC have us well down the football page and the rags even further down, sports pages aren't fit for purpose these days IMHO.

Football - BBC Sport
