There are criteria to be met in every business. One of these is giving the customer what he/she has paid for. Look at the threads about sponsored shirts over the last three seasons.

Exactly my point. As fans, we should be told about these good things. And so should the rest of the world.

Sorry - disagree again. Everyone has an opinion on just about every business that they use, whether that business be a supermarket, a garage, a mail order company, a mobile phone company, or a football club.
