Paddy Power and BBH turn on football’s turncoats

Paddy Power likes to take a passing swipe at the absurdities of the sports it bets on and football’s seemingly irresistible slide into the maws of oil rich states – Now Newcastle has been bought by, in effect, the Saudi state and, hey presto, it’s in the Champion’s League – has attracted its attention in a new season campaign from BBH.

And, strangely enough, those fans who may have taken a dim view of such developments at other clubs are happy to occupy Turncoat Lane (a nice touch) when it’s them.

Nicely done by BBH.

Trouble is, it’s not funny.
