Some firms to be banned from sponsoring Premier League

Premier League football clubs are to be banned from accepting sponsorship from Manx-licensed egaming firms under plans from the UK government.

Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy says it's "not right" companies without a UK licence can sponsor the biggest English clubs.

All gambling sponsorship will be removed from the front of shirts by the end of this season, but firms can still have their logos on sleeves.

The moves would see the end of sponsorship deals with Manx-based companies, which in the past have been on the shirts of clubs such as Fulham, Bournemouth, Wolves and Burnley.
