It seems that popular North London Premiership outfit Tottenham Hotspur are failing on and off the field of play.

This week  Mansion Poker admitted that its four-year £34 million sponsorship deal with the club had failed dismally. The underfire online casino, endorsed by Sports911.com, has now turned it’s attentions to other sponsorship packages in the hope of recouping lost money.

While the deal itself never reached the kind of heights Mansion expected the issue of online gambling companies sponsoring football clubs is expected to come under review in 2007.
Mansion Poker has been offering large daily incentives on its online poker tournaments in an attempt to revive interest in the firm
Rumours have since circulated that the company will be shutting down its Gibraltar based online service, but these have been disregarded by the firm as ‘unsubstantiated’.
Downsizing personnel towards the end of the last year gives further reason to believe Mansion Poker is continually struggling to make an impression on the market.  While the company appears to admit its attempt to enter the English Premier League sponsorship world was a major blunder it  denies any rumours suggesting the website may significantly down-grade or shut down entirely.

It’ll be a case of wait and see though for online punters.
