SOC 2493 (85% match) is an eligible occupation, with a going rate of £41,700, and Fulham Football Club is a licensed sponsor. That is our reading of the rules. Whether they issue a Certificate of Sponsorship is still their call.
Worth checking: this could also be SOC 3557 (Events managers and organisers, If event management were the main focus rather than media relations), which is not on the eligible-occupation list. Ask Fulham Football Club what the duties actually are.
