Chelsea sponsorship saga 10:30 - Jul 10 with 2016 views | GeoffSentence | Anyone seen anything about this? Chelsea don't have a shirt sponsor at the moment. Their contract with Three expired so they have been trying to get a new shirt sponsor. They originally had a deal lined up with Paramount+ but according to The Metro that was blocked by the Premier League for fear of upsetting Sky. Subsequently they were going to go with a gambling firm, which as we know would have been fine and dandy with the Premier League, but their supporter's trust objected to it. Consequently their search for a sponsor has thus far been fruitless. But I am flabberghasted that the Premier League should block Paramount+, a relatively harmless streaming and production company, whilst waving betting companies through without objection given the harm that betting can cause. World gorn mad. |  |

Fair play here, this is a rare example of Chelsea fans being vaguely decent. |  |

Forest went last season without a sponsor as they were not being offered what they valued their shirt sponsorship to be, so I am thinking this wouldn’t harm chelsea too much? Especially with them having less exposure this season, no Europe etc so presumably their shirt sponsorship would bring in a lot less money than usual? |  | |  |

The previous deal with Three was worth £40M a year. Pretty substantial and a big loss to any team. |  |
