London and Toulouse both played the entire regular season in the Championship without a main jersey sponsor (for instance as you can see here at the Summer Bash). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMVjn41dwkc
I mentioned this a couple of times on forums but nobody seemed especially interested, I thought it was quite a significant story. They both belatedly got a main jersey sponsor for the play-offs.
London in particular have been a basket case off the field for quite a few years now. They've alienated a huge chunk of what wasn't a particulalrly large fan base as a result.

They're still not going to be primary tenants, so other than securing the lease to ensure their participation in SL its doesn't score them any extra IMG points (unless my understanding is wrong) I bet there is a lot of salford city council tax payers not happy about the use of these public funds

Given the uncertainty about if / where they would be playing, this is probably understandable. Like every other club, they need some stability before they can grow and since Koucash left, they haven't had any..
The council have voted to be willing/intend to take full ownership of the stadium. Now they have to negotiate a deal with Peel Holdings to try and agree a purchase price with them.
If and when it happens, it won't be any time too soon.

Hope they have better luck dealing with them than Doncaster Airport....
