Dafuq?!!

If this is so easy to find out then the PL really don’t give a shit do they. FFP is meaningless .

If that's true, surely it has to be investigated and dealt with accordingly.

Hopefully it’s swatted away like their paramount deal was. It’s clear this isn’t a genuine and above board deal.

So who is it?

Someone/thing called "Infinite Athlete"

Sounds dodgy as fuck to me.


Edit:

Here's the blurb from their website:

"Athlete?
Our mission is to build an operating system for sports that powers infinite innovation and makes sports better for the fan, the game, and the athlete.

Born out of the idea that the world can do better in all aspects of sports and live events – the fan, the game, and the athlete experience – Infinite Athlete’s goal is to create a single technological foundation across all major sports, upon which innovative sports technology and media products can be built.

This foundation will combine and connect sports data from all sources, which will create infinite possibilities. Infinite Athlete was established in 2023 after the merger of Tempus Ex Machina and Biocore, LLC"


Sounds like it was written by AI.

So a new company, with minimal turnover, becomes the Chavs shirt sponsor.
Well, nothing to see here then!

Info on the company here. All sounds legit unfortunately.

Yeah seems they are but why would a start up company like that spend so much on sponsoring Chelsea? I doubt average football fans are their target market. However, if a good chuck of their investment has come from one of Chelsea's investment companies it starts to make a bit more sense as to why it's really happening.

At least it's less than 2/3 of what Man City's owners are paying themselves for their inflated shirt sponsorship.
