For a long time, football has received multiple sponsorship offers. This is due to the sport having a huge audience which translates to a market for eager brands. Traditionally, shirt sponsorships in football used to be consumer brands, breweries, electronics, and financial service companies.



With the advancement of the global gambling industry, online casinos and betting companies became one of the biggest sponsors of football clubs due to their advertising pouring into sports. Their deep-rooted fan culture was a goldmine waiting to be tapped.



Despite the date marking April Fools, it, unfortunately, wasn’t a joke that West Ham fans had to endure in another game of this seemingly everlasting season.

Lineups saw Mohammed Kudus missing completely, as well as Todibo and Soucek finding themselves on the bench. Potter decided to throw all his toys out the pram and try something new… which at first was hard to see but apparently it was in a 5-2-1-2.

The first half pretty much summarises the performances, an open goal miss from Evan on his first start, along with a deflection of Kilman leading to Wolves’ first.
