New Shirt Sponsor

[ValBlue]

Not even arsed that it’s a better company, I’m more bothered that it’s gonna look absolutely feral on the kit with that logo

its a mi stake if you ask me

The thing that annoys me most about this isn't that it's a gambling firm, it's how hypocritical the about face makes us look.

You either have principles or you don't. I'd much rather we'd not pretended to care about this stuff when we dumped SportPesa.

It undermines all the community good Everton does, because it makes all of it now look like hollow PR that we'd happily toss away for a big enough cheque.

It's just embarrassing for Everton FC and what we've claimed to stand for.

Good point this, Everton in the community, if they cared about communities they wouldn't want to be associated with a industry that prays on less well off people and people in working class areas.
Alcohol was bad enough but on line gambling is vile

No one seemed arsed when we promoted beer on the shirt for years.

Was less virtue signalling back then

Why did we end our sponsorship with Sportpesa again?

I still personally believe it was down to the not so pleasant news of them struggling a bit.

There was talk about them nearly collapsing in Kenya if I’m not. Mistaken.

We took the break whilst we had the chance, and used the moral high horse.

Funny Villa stuck with them, makes me think they sacrificed us over Villa, due to Kazoo's financial problems.

Looks like it’s been drawn with a thumb on a IPad. Awful.

Oh fair enough, but my point about Kazoo still stands.

I thought that too but by all accounts all we said at that time was 'in an ideal world...'. Well it isn't an ideal world, so it's not really hypocritical to be fair.

There's a lot deeper to delve into this with Sportpesa.

The Kenya tax issue was huge - but there's lots more too it!

If we are talking about morality of sponsors, background of Sportpesa is much murkier.

No, you're right, her language was tempered.

But I think the implication was there. And irrespective of an expressed opinion, gambling is a pretty.... controversial... hobby, socially speaking.

 

[Pabbers]

We have any idea how much the deal is ?

 

[WilliamPerry]

Or a vulnerable person. But it's okay, because Everton say it's fine.

I don’t agree with it . But sadly football is riddled with this type of stuff .
the only people I know who use crypto are the type of people who are hungry for dough. id say more are daft than vulnerable.
