Surely having a sponsor who are banned from doing business in your country shouldn’t be allowed. Even in the piss taking world of football that feels a step too far. Global audience init. That's why of course, but also INDEPENDENT REGULATOR WHEN? Whilst we wait, it is an interesting thought experiment regarding where the line is. Could Dignitas sponsor Man Utd? Could Berretta sponsor Arsenal?

Obviously violence and guns are bad but that would make for a very cool shirt.

Dignitas would be a very ironic sponsor for us as we have managed to die with no dignity whatsoever.

Dick Masters obviously reads this thread - a new "Code of Conduct for gambling sponsorship in the game" has just been announced. www.premierleague.com/news/4065603?sf274023033=1The Premier League, EFL, The FA and Women’s Super League have formally agreed to adopt a new Code of Conduct for Gambling Related Agreements in Football. Football authorities, alongside a number of other major national bodies of sport, have developed a principle-based approach to a voluntary code of conduct, with each sport committed to producing a code specific for their own sport. The Code, which will apply to the football authorities and clubs in the professional game, will be implemented at the start of Season 2024/25 and includes the following four general principles around gambling sponsorship: 1. Protection – to protect children and other vulnerable persons, gambling sponsorship must be specifically designed to limit its reach and promotion to those under the age of 18 and those at risk of gambling related harm; 2. Social responsibility – gambling sponsorship must be promoted and delivered in a socially responsible way. This includes ensuring that education and awareness messages are provided as part of all marketing activities; 3. Reinvestment – the commercial income raised from gambling sponsorship must be reinvested back into infrastructure and programmes that serve football fans and communities. This includes investment in staging strong competitions, improving infrastructure such as stadia and training facilities and providing community and grassroots participation opportunities for local communities; 4. Integrity – gambling sponsorship must not compromise the integrity of football competitions nor harm the welfare of those participants who take part in them. The aim of the Code is to ensure that gambling sponsorships are delivered in a socially responsible way by being designed to limit the reach to children and those at risk of gambling related harm. Last year, Premier League clubs collectively agreed to withdraw gambling sponsorship from the front of clubs’ matchday shirts from the end of the 2025/26 season. The League was the first sports league in the UK to take such a measure voluntarily.

It's a shocker, but given the financial disparity in the league, teams like us can't really afford to take the moral high ground and leave money on the table. The club obviously saw this backlash coming which is why you can buy the identical women's kit with a different sponsor in men's sizes. Interesting to see the junior and baby kit has a third different sponsor again. I don’t think I’ve seen that before.

On point 1, it will be interesting to see how the PL manage to limit the reach of gambling sponsorship to children and vulnerable people in other countries. i.e. the countries where many of these companies advertise and provide gambling services. Sorry for being so sceptical about this definitely coincidentally timed 'code'.

Me too, but it's time. He needs to play and we're not giving him that. Such a silky player. £35m isn't bad given lack of minutes but bare minimum when you look some of the other transfers.

Yeah he needs to play regular football. I trust we’ll reinvest the money into players we need. I’m hoping we see more of Vieria next season too.

The ESR deal is good. Fact is you have to play and showcase someone more if you want to increase their value at that age with his injury record. The evidence of him being great is now over two years previous. So that's still a pretty decent fee considering. It's not exactly a risk free deal for Fulham either.
Would be a nice bonus if we include a sell on clause because I absolutely think he can become an England regular and may well move again in two years for more if he stays fit.
He's going to a club that we are on good terms with so I won't be too pained seeing him in their shirt.
It's similar to the Xhaka sale in that he's hopefully going to the right place at the right time and I hope he does really well.

I wonder what we (Spurs) have planned over the next few weeks. It seems the key is going to be moving players on first. Reg and Gil will hopefully follow Hoj. Lo Celso is such a strange one as he is clearly very highly rated in Argentina, but none of the managers he's had at Spurs seem to fancy him. Not sure if some sort swap deal with Ramsey is good or not. It might be one of those deals that works for everyone, as I think Emery and Lo Celso have worked together before.
Outside of that, we've got some really good young players but they are probably a year or so short of being ready to make a big impact. So I'm hoping for one or two additions still. Although Gray and Bergvall are very exciting players so looking forward to seeing how they develop this season.

It's so difficult with youth players that I try and keep my excitement in check. You can never really know whether they'll sink or swim until you've seen them play 90mins for the first team a few times in competitive games.
I was confident Charlie Patino was going to become a first teamer after making his debut several years ago. Came on for ESR and scored.
Now seems like he's destined for life in the Championship rather than Premiership.
Really hope Nwaneri is the real deal and gets chances but it's harder now than it was 4 years ago when the last crop came through as the standard has gone up.

Exactly. And why I can't get too over exercised about Chido Obi-Martin going to Manchester Utd. He's 16, looks way above others in his age group physically - but they'll catch up. Disappointing but there we are. Can't keep them all - and he'd only been with us 2 seasons so, meh.

Huh, Russell Beardsmore is employed by Manchester United Foundation as a coach. Good for him. Thought for a short while that he was going to be a pretty decent player.

We had Dane Scarlett hyped up as the next big thing when he was 16 but he hasn't really progressed as much as we'd hoped. Still very young though. Could be a late bloomer like Harry.
Mikey Moore looks the real deal though.

To go back to Moore, another goal today taking his pre-season to 5 goals and an assist in 5 games I think. Yes I know it’s only friendly games but still, at 16 years old, this kid has got something.
