Perfect sponsor would be Wilkinson Sword. I wonder whether there's ever been any discussions in the past.

Swan Morton would be better and it’s a Sheffield firm.

You can't tell me it would be better than this on our shirt

Embroiled in shenanigans. Might need a new Main Sponsor

New sponsor? What about the company that pays plastic Carol to sell equity release schemes to guillible pensioners.

Or how about that company that make the tins of travel sweets with icing sugar on, those ones that old people have in their cars?

Fucking hate them things.

The sweets, not old people.

Think you will get your wish for the colour of the away shirt.

Hard to see, but artist Corbin Shaw recently mocked up a United shirt with ‘British Steel’ as the sponsor.

And debt consolidation loans at stupid APRs.
All that plastic work and young cocks don't come cheap.

That would sting the other lot, being based in S6.

Bit like many owners really. Associating your name / brand with something known and hopefully respected brushes off - at least for a while!

It can't be a coincidence that controversial industries always try to sponsor football teams, they will undoubtedly offer more money too making it difficult for clubs to turn down.

Alcohol, tobacco, bookmakers have all been stopped, so big pharma have stepped in (weird turn of events), it's basically sportswashing, associating their name with things that people love in order to buy favour, so when the controversies come out, nobody cares because they sponsor sports and market themselves as organisations that have people's wellbeing at the heart of what they do, rather than big profits which is actually all they care about.

Personally I would like a more ethical approach to sponsors if it isn't a local company, which would make sense due to the decline in manufacturing, Laver can't exactly afford a multi-million £ deal these days. You do have a few steel manufacturers/distribution that could potentially back a merged deal independently similar to the VisitYorkshire.com brand but with Business Sheffield.

Although the one Sheffield "arm" based company I would love to see is Boeing, funded from their head office in the US could easily afford it, plus they are hitting a captive marketplace for promoting their apprenticeships in Sheffield plus their wider brand broadcasted worldwide to the millions that watch the Premier League.

Local businesses will pay peanuts though, hence why it’s better to take the dirty money from a global brand.
