The report states that the new commercial agreement will be revealed next month by the St James’ Park club. Sources at numerous clubs sponsored by betting firms are aware of the sensitivities that encompass the relationship between football and betting — and would prefer shirt deals with companies with non-gambling companies. Chelsea have signed a five-year deal worth £200m with the Japanese tyre giants, meaning they now have the second highest shirt sponsorship deal in England, indeed in the world, after Manchester United.

SunCity’s extraordinary success led to a listing on the Hong Kong stock exchange and Chau rapidly became a staple of local newspapers for his rise in business and his colourful private life.
