Sorry, financial regulation is my day job. I get annoyed when football clubs get involved in these high risk financial things. Could lead many fans to dabble without an understanding of the risks involved.
We've already had the socios nft shit, a gambling sponsor and now this. Club are lacking awareness, or dont care, of the impact these things can have on a fan.
Paid in Dogecoin or some such nonsense?If they're made up, surely we can make up how much they're paying us to circumvent FFP, right?
£300m
A season.
I'm sure they're aware. They just don't care.
Why?
If we were sponsored by Paddy Power would more fans gamble?
When we were sponsored by Holstein did more fans drink?
Not being a wanker here, genuinely interested.
Why are kraken sponsoring the shirt? To get more people to use their exchange and by extension more people to use crypto.
You think we need it?
Been so many posts (literally hundreds) over the last few years on why we probably don't.
I prefer not having a corporate sponsor name but I’m surprised Levy would turn down what would likely be a significant amount of money.
Chelsea have just sold their women's team to themselves to circumvent FFP. Maybe we could sell the corner flags to ourselves for £50m?If they're made up, surely we can make up how much they're paying us to circumvent FFP, right?
£300m
A season.
Sounds easier than making up currencies.
Surely that's the plan and I guess it must work to an extent or they wouldn't do it.
Would you gamble if you didn't already? Maybe not, but you may switch to Paddy Power.
Would you drink if you didn't already? I doubt it, but if you do you may try Holsten - probably not Holstein though because thats a breed of cow (sorry I couldn't resist that).
Crypto does still seem to be sucking people into its promise of free money though, so seeing it on the shirts may gain some customers who think they must be trustworthy and were considering gambling (I refuse to call it investing) on crypto. Google Kraken crypto exchange and you get: "Kraken -the crypto platform for smarter investing". Yeah right.
Personally I hate advertising and like to think it doesn't work on me; it just pisses me off and I and take all possible steps to avoid it- ad blockers on every online device, recording everything on commercial channels and starting watching 15 minutes after the start so I can fast-forward the ads at x30, shaking the loose ads out of the weekend papers and binning them straight away, that sort of thing.
Not sure about a hack, but what would you prefer if not Visa or MC? Amex? Paypal? Debit?
Personally if there was any risk I'd be quite happy using a credit card because I would have some level of protection if Visa & MC were allowing their products to be used. I definitely wouldn't use a debit card linked to my bank account or Paypal.
Just wondering.
I just assumed it was only debit cards they were taking. I could dust off the credit card and see if it works.
I always use credit cards online because they offer better fraud protection and better protection against failure of the company before delivery. I never use debit cards online and rarely use PayPal.
I definitely wouldn’t give a Chinese or Russian company my debit card details.

I think it was discussed at the open forum he did with Ange.
He basically said that keeping it as The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium increased the global presence more than having a sponsor as the stadium name.
There’s always the chance that may change, but I think it would have to be a mega money deal.
I've used it three times this season, always use a credit card, far more protection IF something dodgy happened.
Imagine the dipshits on Spurs Community, who love (virtually) slapping a wad of cash down to thank the "ITK's" for their information seeing this.
