I saw the headline 'Everton in talks for new shirt sponsor' and was waiting for the page to load like....
Please don't be a betting firm

Oh.
And not even good one at that.

Same.
Let's just go really dirty and find a payday loan sponsor. Truly a terrible terrible industry.

How do you quantify that? I can't agree, there's no comparison. Gambling addiction destroys lives and families.
Furthermore, in contrast to the huge employment potential of the alcohol business, an online betting company is likely to be a small group of people, a couple of servers, an office in a tax free state and a colossal ability to collect other people's money.
I've no problem with mates having a bet with each other - statistically this a good way to bet. As soon as you go face to face with professionals with post grad qualifications in mathematics and who make it their business to collect and crunch more data than any individual can hope to, then it's odds on certainty that the individual is going to lose in the long run.

I'm not in the slightest bit interested in seeking a moral high ground, I'm expressing an opinion based on experience and an insight into the mathematics and culture (and often shady subculture) of the business.
You brought about the comparison with alcohol!

Is that what I think it is?!?!?
Ah yes, @KUEFC09U2 doing his "hate our fans sometimes" routine
Haven't you got a stadium source to lie about mate rather than criticising Evertonians for not slobbering over a crap deal?

It's the truth, our fans moan at literally everything lately
Where as nobodys life has ever been ruined by alcohol?????
Thats the crux for me mate.
Lets just agree that gambling and alcohol both have their good points and very bad points, they are both considered vices and are both treated as illnesses upon addiction. I could argue that alcohol addiction is more widespread and leads to more violent crimes, as well as vastly more serious health issues that lead to death, but hey ho, suppose that should be a discussion for another thread.

If they are say coughing up £10m per year then so what ? It wouldn't bother me as long as it outstrips what are getting today.
right now the way we are playing we would better being sponsored by a company flogging impotency pills

They are worried that the Club have signed up to another substandard deal, which is fair enough.
I tell you what, give me the concerned Evertonians any day over people doing this "hate our fans" routine borefest you've been perpetuating.
The difference is that most on here can stop betting any time they want, but when they return home they're still married.

Regardless of who it is, when it an announcement likely to be?
At the AGM?
It's all about the $$$ really, but it would be nice to have a recognisable name on the shirt.
Over to you, Bob.
