sponsorship is when your owner pays you and calls it revenue

Man City found guilty of 'sham' sponsor deals hiding £830m

An independent commission found Manchester City guilty of all 115 Premier League financial charges bar one, publishing a redacted report on Tuesday. It described "sham contracts" with commercial partners used to disguise more than £830m in owner funding, and said City recorded £360m in sponsor fees across three title-winning seasons of which only £43m was legitimate. The commission also found several club witnesses gave false evidence. City deny wrongdoing and have until 2 October to appeal.
