      In October 2012 payday lender Wonga agreed a deal to become the club’s primary commercial sponsor.
      The sponsorship package included the stadium naming rights.
      And rather than calling it the Wonga Stadium, they opted to restore the name back to St James’ Park.
      Upon the club’s Saudi takeover in 2021, Newcastle’s new owners decided to get rid of all Sports Direct branding that still adorned the stadium.

      Premier League TV rights for 2025 to 2029 are set to go on sale soon.
      Streaming giants DAZN will be in the bidding this time but it is unclear if they will be able to match Sky and TNT offers.
      However, the Mail also claim that Amazon are considering pulling out of showing football.
      They have been involved in Prem coverage since 2019 and have shown 20 games per season in a three-year deal worth £90m, or £1.5m each game.

      But their deal finishes at the end of the 2024/25 season and the report claims they are not expected to continue their interest.
      This is amid Premier League chiefs planning a reshape to the way they sell TV rights to make more money.
      In the next batch of sales they hope to make £4bn-a-year, an increase from the current £3.47bn.
      A document will soon be reportedly sent to channels informing them of the supposed changes.

      Four-year deals that run from 2025 to 2029 will be on offer, as opposed to the three-year contracts currently in place.
      There is currently 200 games on TV per season and the amount is set to rise to between 250 and 270.
      Despite the increase in matches for fans to watch, there will be fewer packages for channels to bid for with five set to be available rather than seven.
      The extra games per package means all broadcasters will be able to show viewers a more “substantial offering”.
      There could also allegedly be an impact on kick-off times.
      Additional Friday night, Saturday lunchtime and evening, as well as Monday night games are set to be available for channels to acquire.
      There could also supposedly be three slots for matches on Sundays but not necessarily a late evening position previously discussed.
      Sky currently pay £9.8m for each game they show with TNT less at £6.25m. More

      “To officiate a Premier League is not easy. One error and you’re vilified. So something such as this might help people see a different side to officials.” More
