I'm not sure it's true to say that he built up 'much of' his fortune through Starlizard. But you know what these journalists are like.

Why does the club want to cut its formal links to the betting industry?

Peddlers of fake news. Much better to trust the president, or even the Prime Minister, who is so replete with content that she enlightens us with 'Brexit means Brexit'.

one thing I have noticed in my away travels is how most clubs seem to have onsite bookies taking bets on games whilst we don't (unless I have missed it) not sure if this is a deliberate ethical/moral choice by the club or the fact they realise you can do it by phone/internet so why waste space which could be used for selling pies/drinks.

I'm fairly sure that Amex wasn't happy with it, when they bought the stadium naming rights.

What became the sweet shop in the ESL was originally going to be a bookmakers.
If memory serves the only reason that didn't happen was the club couldn't make a deal work with any chain.
