To reply to my own post (bad form!) - i note that Chelsea were blocked from Paramount+ being a sponsor so as to not "upset broadcast partners"...Just in case this has skimmed under the radar:

Chelsea: Club reveal new home shirt with no sponsor
Chelsea reveal their home kit for the 2023-24 season without a front-of-shirt sponsor.www.bbc.co.uk
Not sure if this indicates they don't HAVE a sponsor this season; or just don't have one YET; or what. Good they've released the new kit regardless, but if we were in this situation we'd be waiting for the sponsor as the revenue from sponsorship for us will be a much great %age of total income than it would be for Chelsea, and presumably Kit Launch Day is a big chunk of extra free advertising for all involved.
Perfectly OK to take money from gambling firms; oil firms; questionable human rights regimes etc. etc. ... but god fucking forbid Sky might get upset that other broadcast media might fucking well exist!!
it's a joke really - the shocking lack of any form of morality from the Premier League surprises me every time. You'd think i'd know better.
