The debate over whether there should be stricter controls over which types of companies can sponsor Premier League clubs has showed no signs of slowing down over the past few days.
Labour’s deputy leader Tom Watson has previously pledged that a future Labour government would ban gambling companies from sponsoring top flight teams.
Watson and shadow health and social care secretary, Jon Ashworth, have spent a year reviewing the party’s position on gambling and have promised to ban betting companies from sponsoring football shirts if their party is elected.
Former Arsenal and England captain Tony Adams has backed their stance, telling Radio 4’s Today programme that he believes betting sponsorship should be barred.
