Perth Glory brings Chicken Treat back to front of shirt in heritage-led partnership

Perth Glory is bringing a familiar name back to the front of its playing shirts, with Western Australian restaurant chain Chicken Treat returning as the club’s principal partner for the 2026/27 season.

The partnership reconnects two WA brands with a shared history, with Chicken Treat’s logo previously appearing on Glory’s shirts between 1996 and 1998.

Its return comes as Glory celebrates its 30th anniversary and Chicken Treat marks 50 years since its first store opened in Midland, giving the new agreement a strong heritage component alongside its commercial value.

Glory CEO Ben Leaver said the partnership offered an opportunity to reconnect with supporters while working with a long-standing WA business.

“Chicken Treat is very much a part of Glory’s heritage, it holds a cherished place in the hearts of many of our Members and fans,” Leaver said.

Chicken Treat CEO Jamie Stewart said the company’s anniversary made the partnership an opportunity to reconnect with generations of Western Australians.

“Having the Chicken Treat logo proudly displayed on the Glory jersey gives us a fantastic platform to connect with fans, support the growth of football in WA and create memorable experiences for the local community,” Stewart said.

The partnership arrives alongside the unveiling of Glory’s new 2026/27 kits, which draw inspiration from the 2000/2001 kit incorporating design elements referencing the club’s history.

That gives the sponsorship a role beyond conventional brand exposure, with the Chicken Treat logo becoming part of a broader retro-focused campaign centred around Glory’s 30th anniversary.

The partnership demonstrates how established brands can use sporting heritage to reactivate an existing relationship, combining recognition among existing supporters with a fresh commercial platform for a new season and audience.

Manchester City Charges Put Financial Governance Under Spotlight

Manchester City’s reported guilty verdict on 114 of 115 Premier League financial charges has created a major business and administration challenge for the club. An independent commission reportedly reached its findings after a lengthy hearing into alleged financial-rule breaches between 2009 and 2018 last week.

The Premier League has not confirmed the verdict publicly, while City says the process remains ongoing and is expected to appeal. The next decision could have significant financial consequences.

No punishment has been announced; however, potential sanctions include a points deduction, financial penalties and/or expulsion from the Premier League, all of which would have significant and varied financial impact. The club must continue operating while it awaits the commission’s full decision and any appeal process, which could affect recruitment, player contracts, budgets and long-term investment decisions.

City generates substantial income through broadcasting, commercial partnerships and matchday operations – as of 2026, Manchester City’s revenue sits at $1.56 billion (894 million pounds). A significant change to the club’s Premier League status could therefore affect several revenue streams at once.

Commercial partners will also be watching the next weeks closely, and must assess how any sanction could affect their association with the club. City’s global commercial operation has become an important part of its business model during its period of sustained success. Other Premier League clubs have discussed potential compensation claims linked to the alleged breaches. Any successful claims would create another financial liability for City beyond a league sanction.

City has consistently denied wrongdoing and says it has respected due process, and its expected appeal means the forthcoming sanctions may not represent the final outcome. That leaves the club managing two priorities at once: defending its position through the regulatory process, and protecting its commercial and operational stability.

For the Premier League, the case also tests the strength of its financial regulations. The final sanction, and any appeal that follows, will shape the financial and administrative consequences for Manchester City and could influence how clubs approach financial compliance in the future.
