One of the biggest, most famous, most successful clubs in the world and we’re going to have to accept a 1 year shirt deal from a crypto gambling company who sponsors some of the shadiest, scummiest people on the internet? 🤢🤢🤢

How is this the best our fancy new commercial team could do?

Nah it's quite simple really.

Negotiating a new main sponsor at an improved value during a summer where the club have just finished 12th and have no European football on offer was always going to be tricky to pull off. The club clearly know it's a shady as fuck company and that gambling sponsors in the UK are about to be banned in the near future anyway so a short term deal is clearly the only one the club are willing to agree to.

If the next season goes well it's going to be much easier to then negotiate a new long term deal with some more respectable companies at a value that is much higher than anything that would be on offer now.

It's a scummy deal regardless though.

I'd much rather see something from Clearlake's portfolio = fictional sponsorship = less FFP income = one less random player acquired this window, than display bookies, payday loans, online casinos, crypto or porn on shirt, we are not National League team, have some self respect for god's sake!

Makes sense, as above, whether I agree with it or not is another matter but a one year deal then shop around for another sponsor when we are, hopefully, back in the CL, rather than be tied into a multi year deal with a less than favourable company.

Didn't Boehly say Chelsea lucrative deals and marketing is way behind what it should be? How do you go from Three offering 40m a year under the old management to Allianz barely offering 20m.

But should our league position really matter?

Chelsea is already an established brand (besides being a club) at this point,  and has a huge global following.

One poor season shouldn't make the club go backwards in this regard.

I'm not convinced that it's a league position issue. Yes, being out of Europe may reduce the number of TV viewers on account of less fixtures, but the PL is such a big draw in itself.

If Chelsea had gone down to the championship, then I'd understand.

Established or not, brands go on viewership and number of eyes for the most part and we are playing less games next year so less eyes on the brand. 
 

It’s a smart financial move, which bewilders me how other areas of the business get their pants pulled down.
