Has sponsership ever been considered. This could be via a main Club sponsor or even an amount from ground advertising. The larger and more successful the club was at that time, the more money would come in, but the lower clubs could pick up a small income. Sponsorship, would for instance, follow the big players. Players with a value over 15m, say, could attract an individual sponsor.
It is just another way to inject a cash flow.
There could be a time in the season when money from sponsorship was decided. This could depend on how the team was situated at that time.
A main sponsor could pull out in times of under performance.
It'd something I'll look into definately. I'm not sure about the cash reasoning, in that the counter argument is obviously that bigger sponsorship will go to the big clubs therefore possibly helping to increase the divide.
I am looking at hopefully getting a kit designing programme developed which could incorporate shirt sponsorship in that. But I need to chase up computer programming mates as thats not something I could develop myself.
