Get the point DM but that doesn’t mean the situation you describe has to be set in stone surely when regarding sponsorship. A strategy for academy funding with all points itemized what the sponsorship money will go on regarding the academy could be drawn up between club and sponsor any deviation from the plan by the club should see them fined and the money plus the original amount agreed put into the academy funding package.

It’s the games future we are discussing not how other parts of a football club is funded and anyway all clubs should strive for a sustainable plan to be viable.
