Ashton has confirmed that he won't continue the front-of-shirt sponsorship next season, "to allow [the club] to get a bigger sponsor".
My immediate thought was "oh yay, Asian betting firm incoming", but it's interesting that Ashton continues to say that part Sheeran's reasoning behind the sponsorship was to get the previous gambling sponsor off the shirt.
Hopefully (and I know I'm being naïve here) this might indicate that next year's FoS sponsor might be slightly more palatable than might otherwise be the case? |  |

Saying that, they sponsor the training kit... Watch this space | | | |

It would be incredibly depressing if we got a random betting sponsor. My guess would be an American firm the owners know, though. |  |

More palatable, are you suggesting Hobnobs or Cathedral City ? |  |

Did he not say it wouldn't be a betting firm somewhere? Sure I read that but admittedly haven't listened to the interview.
Netflix I reckon, surprise announcement of an ITFC doc from the last 3 years. |  | | |

Didn't realise the motivation behind Sheeran's sponsorship before hearing this today. |  |

I share your hopes on that. There’s something very unsavoury about football clubs promoting betting companies as far as I’m concerned.
Whatever his motive, well done Sheeran for sponsoring the shirt, regardless of the reason. His connections with the club have only benefitted us and hopefully him, so long may they continue. |  | | |

With the man city sponsorship case.
How about the Arizona pension fund. |  |

I thought this was interesting:
"Another big expansion will be our relationship with Ed Sheeran. You’ll also see us in the U.S. at some point, probably in some sort of collaboration with him."
Does this mean some sort of ITFC pre-season US tour with him doing a concert? [Post edited 19 Oct 13:10]

Surely the sponsorship from the chippy goes on the shoulder ? | |

Sheeran said prior to the Liverpool game that he will only sponsor us for one season in the Prem as it’s quite expensive haha that’s why he purchased his shares in the club, he also said he wouldn’t allow the club to get a gambling sponsor and part of the reason why he wanted to sponsor us was because of that horrid Magical Vegas sponsor. |  |

So something positive did come out of that gopping shirt?
Sadly, it was the first shirt I bought for my lad, so it'll be forever etched in my mind - though the kiddies shirt didn't have it on.
Does have a sticker for a badge though  | | | |
