Well if it was about sports washing we wouldn’t go near it. As we are trying to make as much money as possible & commercial employees will be paid commission for getting deals over the line then it’s bound to happen.

Still no article on shady banks & terrorists though……

Sorry are you trying to claim no one's every written articles about shady banks and terrorists?

No but I haven’t seen a double page exposure. If we were scaling it from zero to 100 you are quite correct it’s not zero, but it’s closer to it than 100.

Similar to booing, chanting etc there’s a target audience for outrage.

And just to add the article explains about how it infiltrated Australian gaming. There has been a lot in the media over here about how due diligence was not followed. Follow the link of multi billion $ sell off of Crown Casinos by Packer.

"Pep was right, your fans are shite" incoming.
Is that really all the media have got from the recent pressers? Do they just not listen?

He actually grew up just around the corner from me. I would never have the indignity of wearing an alice band though.

Until early last year, I used to deliver milk to his mum, Emily Bishop

More stories about dodgy Asian facing gambling firms sponsoring PL clubs in tomorrow's papers. Nick Harris doing the Mail but Josimar and Phillipe Auclair doing theirs as well which will get picked up by the other English papers.

You have to ask why are we getting involved in this kind of stuff given the extra scrutiny we're under, an already poor public opinion of our sponsorships and, being English champions in 4 of the last 5 seasons and a guaranteed CL contender...we must have other options with legitimate betting sponsors.

It’s fair & welcomed. We are often told we forget where we’ve come from & mainly by scribes who forget we always known as a large loyal fan base.

The "forget where we've come from" shite really gets on my tits.
Over 80% of our history has been spent in the top division and only one season on the third shelf. We won two titles, six (or possibly seven) second division titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and the ECWC long before the takeover.
I started going to games in 1968 when we were a top club; I'm still going 55 years later and we're still a top club.
The seasons in the second and third tiers were the blip, not the top divisions.

Uncanny likeness.

Well any sponsor under 1m is not looked at! But if the premier want to ban crypto betting sites they should be banning all betting companies sponsors and if they do an awful lot of clubs will be in deep shit financially..

100%, people forget what an incredible history this club has, the Swales years apart we were always a huge, major football club and one that has always set trends others have followed.

I was listening to talksport earlier, for once Mr O'Hara said something sensible concerning Everton. Like us, Everton are a huge club with incredible history, yet people of a certain generation have only seen them struggle in the Premiership era and think they are a little club and again like us, so wrong and so ignorant.
