I wonder if the sponsorhsip money will be "paid" by way of

allowing the scum not to make a few interest payments to their new benefactor ... or by him reducing the transfer budget (what HAPPENED to their £12m war chest, anyway?)

I would wager good money that it won't come in the form of extra cash, anyway
