The LA Lakers --- a prestigious basketball franchise that didn't change hands for 46 years --- just sold twice in ten months, the second time for $2.5 billion more than the first. The seller is Mark Walter, CEO of Guggenheim, owner of the Dodgers and part of Chelsea FC, and the man whose laptop and phone the FBI seized off his private jet just as the Lakers deal was coming together. Since then, one of the insurance companies in his orbit has revised its reported related-party investments from $1.4 billion to $17 billion. Quite the rounding error. In this episode, we get into the questions everyone on the Street is suddenly asking. Why would anyone sell the crown jewel of American sports a year after fighting to buy it? What do a bunch of boring life insurance companies most people have never heard of have to do with the trophy assets of the billionaire class? Why do private equity and private credit firms keep buying insurers in the first place — and what happens to that entire model when the disclosures around "related parties" turn out to be, let's say, incomplete? And why did Josh Kushner and Bob Iger, who spent months chasing a Las Vegas expansion team, pivot to the Lakers over a single weekend? The bigger question hanging over all of it: this structure — asset managers selling their own loans to insurance companies they control — underpins a massive share of the boom in private credit. If regulators start pulling on this thread, how many other portfolios look like this one? By way of disclaimer, no charges have been filed and no wrongdoing has been established nor is implied here; our research merely summarizes reporting from Bloomberg, the FT, the WSJ, and the LA Times.

And Steiner, who led the Haas F1 team from 2016 to 2024 and became the breakout star of Drive to Survive, explains why investors including IKON Capital and David Blitzer's Bolt Ventures paid $50 million to invest in the independent Tech3 MotoGP team, and how his experience of F1 is helping Ezpeleta chart a path forward under new ownership.----- The Leaders Week London agenda is here.

Alyssa Thompson '23 is a member of both the United States Women's National Team (USWNT) and Chelsea FC in London. In this episode, Alyssa describes growing up playing AYSO in Sherman Oaks, before finding club and national team success while at Harvard-Westlake, to then committing to Stanford at age 15. But the next few years would change Alyssa's trajectory. In 2021, she was named national Gatorade Player of the Year. In 2022, she and her sister Giselle (who is also on the USWNT) signed Nike's first-ever NIL deal for high school athletes. And then in 2023, Alyssa was drafted #1 overall out of high school to her hometown Angel City. Aside from these accolades, however, Alyssa speaks most endearingly about her family—her father Mario, an elementary school principal, mom Karen, a therapist for children with special needs, and the great joy of sharing a field with her sister Giselle. Alyssa references Harvard-Westlake soccer coach Jordan Roseboro as having a profound influence on her soccer career and love of the game.
Investor George Pyne, Founder of Bruin Capital, joins the show to share his thesis for sport and his rationale for targeting what he calls 'second level enablers' - the companies a layer below the headline-grabbing team and league properties. In a wide-ranging conversation, he reflects on 12 years of Bruin, the investment firm he set up following a career that including a stint as COO of NASCAR between 1995 and 2006, and then nine years as President of ING. Pyne discusses the particular challenges of raising money - he's done it four times with Bruin - and then deploying capital; his approach for working with the management teams of the organisations he's invested in; and the art of the elegant exit. He also reflects on some of Bruin's most memorable investments, including Deltatre, Two Circles and On Location, and a current portfolio that includes production company Box to Box and Matchroom Sport, where Bruin is now a minority investor working with Barry and Eddie Hearn. The conversation was recorded in early July, shortly before news broke of Bruin's sale of golf simulation company Full Swing to Versant for a reported $530 million. -------- Join us for The Summit, part of Leaders Week London at Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea FC.

In this episode of The Joy of Football Podcast, Martin Tyler and Neil Barnett dive into a huge range of talking points across the modern game - from title ambition and club standards to refereeing controversy and football's ever-changing rules. The episode kicks off with a passionate debate around Arsenal, questioning whether simply “competing” is enough. Are the Gunners truly building towards titles, or has the mindset shifted towards settling for Champions League places? There's also a deep dive into Chelsea FC, where expectations vs reality come under the spotlight. With reduced wage structures, changing ambitions, and comparisons to previous eras, has Chelsea's standard dropped — and what does success actually look like for the club now? Martin's Letter from the Gantry focuses on a major refereeing controversy involving West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers, where a crucial incorrect decision led to a goal. This opens up a wider discussion on VAR, IFAB, and whether football is becoming overcomplicated with constant rule changes and interventions. There's also reaction to a heavy defeat for Chelsea against Manchester City, alongside analysis of refereeing consistency, game management, and how decisions continue to shape results at the highest level. As always, the episode wraps up with Three of the Best, highlighting emerging young talents, including Alex Scott and standout performers across the Premier League. #Arsenal #Chelsea #WestHam #Wolves #ManchesterCity #PremierLeague #VAR #Refereeing #FootballDebate #AlexScott #FootballPodcast #JoyOfFootball

Rob Jones is joined by Jonathan Northcroft, Julien Laurens and John Cross to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We kick things off with the battle for places in Thomas Tuchel's England squad. Harry Maguire may be fifth-choice at centre-back, but do his recent form and tournament pedigree put him back in contention this summer? Julien argues the case for a fully fit John Stones to anchor the defence, while John considers the case for Ben White's inclusion after his impressive goalscoring cameo against Uruguay.Next, we turn to the news of Tiger Woods' arrest following a crash in Florida. Julien reflects on the reality that it barely came as a surprise—and argues it may finally be time for golf to move on.Next, we look at Cole Palmer and the chances he could leave Chelsea FC this summer. We explore his future and the clubs that might be interested in snapping him up.We then turn to the England cricket team, where Ben Stokes' return is on hold after a cheek injury. Cricket broadcaster Adam Collins joins us to discuss Stokes' absence and his prospects of returning to County cricket with Durham in early May.And finally, we dive into Arsenal, sparked by George Graham's comments. While the pushing, shoving, grappling, and set-piece scoring might not be pretty, Graham points out that everyone does it—and Arsenal do it best. John argues the team has been unfairly criticised but must find a way to get over the line by any means necessary.Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

Chelsea were beaten 3-0 at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night, eliminated from the Champions League 8-2 on aggregate in a performance that was as embarrassing as the scoreline suggests. This was not a valiant defeat against a superior side. This was a systemic, structural failure that runs from the pitch straight through the dugout and all the way to the boardroom. Every single person at this football club needs to look in the mirror.Simon and Manny deliver their most forensic and unflinching episode yet, dismantling Liam Rosenior's credentials for this job with cold, hard evidence. This is a manager who is simply not equipped to operate at Champions League level, and the people who appointed him, backed him, and continue to stand behind him are equally culpable. The sporting directors, the ownership, the entire decision-making apparatus at Chelsea FC is broken — and 8-2 on aggregate is the receipt.The hosts then take a step back for a genuinely sober conversation about the state of the club beneath the rage. The apathy growing among the fanbase is real and it is dangerous. When supporters stop being angry and start being indifferent, that is when a football club truly loses its identity. Simon and Manny discuss what it means to watch Chelsea in 2026, what this ownership has done to the culture, and whether there is any credible path back to a club that actually stands for something.With the Champions League gone and the Premier League season entering its final stretch, what happens now? First up is a trip to Everton — a game Chelsea simply cannot afford to lose if top five is still to mean anything. Can this squad find one last shred of resilience when everything around them is falling apart?
