Roberto De Zerbi speaks ahead of Spurs' clash with Charlton in the EFL Cup. He gives team updates and speaks about their new signing Savio. -TIMESTAMPS- 0:00 intro 0:10 We need players capable to win one on ones, to create things. One of the best players. Wanted him at Brighton. 1:45 Savio has to improve his finishing. He has to score to be complete. He has the quality. Has to change habits. 3:05 it's not right to speak about players from other teams. It's a crazy market, especially after the season has started. 4:25 We could have played better against Brentford. 4:50 Van de Ven on the bench, Porro on the bench. Solanke can start. I don't know about Savio. 5:30 Kudus not ready yet, Maddison suffered a small injury on his shoulder. 6:00 I am not patient. We tried to get him 3 days after the Everon game. 7:02 We always have a plan B and C. Savio is great for the club. Tottenham is more important than the coaches. 8:25 LWB on the bench. 9:15 Xavi and Savio are very close. They are two big players. 9:55 I have a very good relationship with Robertson. We need his mentality. 11:20 The young players don't have experience. You have to pass through these kind of games. 14:00 Solanke is another important player but Richarlison played when we stayed up last season, but he has to play better than against Brentford. 15:00 Efl cup is like premier league. We are not in the condition to make a difference. We need to change this mentality. 17:14 I have great memories for the Everton game, about the whole run in. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.

#1034 | Ed and Jamie look at Jeff Bezos buying into Liverpool, a deal that values the club at around £5.5 billion for a consortium stake of just under 40%. Why is Bezos getting involved now? Can an Amazon-owned media empire buy into a Premier League club without creating a conflict of interest for future TV rights deals? And how does it compare to United's own ownership structure? On United specifically, spend so far this summer sits at £135 million gross. What does that mean for United's SCR position? And why loaning Marcus Rashford out doesn't actually help United's finances despite the noise around it. The second half of the pod covers the wider transfer market: Tottenham's spending after two bottom-third finishes, Chelsea's need to sell under their settlement agreement, and a longer discussion of whether the squad cost ratio is fair on clubs like Newcastle and Villa. The answer, broadly, is that it isn't as unfair as often claimed. 0:00 Intro0:48 Season openers and fantasy football2:13 Bezos Liverpool consortium10:16 Amazon, media rights and conflicts of interest16:16 United's transfer spend and SCR position22:31 Rashford's future27:35 Big-six spending across the league29:04 Spurs, swap deals and dodgy transfers33:10 Chelsea's settlement agreement and sales37:32 Aston Villa's player trading39:54 Is SCR anti-competitive?45:51 Salary caps and the owner-funding 47:15 Ownership exits: Chelsea, Clearlake, FSG49:34 EFL losses and the Premier League deal55:21 Ticket prices and the pyramid56:22 Wrap-up If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

The 2026/27 season is about to begin, but before the football takes over, The NN Pod turns its attention to the money increasingly shaping the game.The discussion starts with the Community Shield and European Super Cup, asking why both competitions are treated so differently in England compared with elsewhere in Europe. From there, the focus moves towards club ownership, with reported investment at Liverpool and the developing ownership situation at West Ham raising wider questions about valuations, investors and where the real financial returns in football now sit.Attention then shifts down the pyramid. The hosts discuss the proposed financial relationship between the Premier League and the EFL, spending restrictions in League One and whether measures designed to improve sustainability could create unintended consequences for clubs and players. Ebbsfleet United's financial difficulties provide an even starker example of the pressures facing clubs further down English football.The conversation then turns towards the ways clubs are trying to generate more money themselves. Stadium improvements, safe standing, hospitality, ticket revenue and player image rights all come under discussion, alongside the changing relationship between clubs and the supporters paying to watch them.Finally, the Premier League's move towards direct-to-consumer streaming in Singapore opens up a wider debate about broadcasting, traditional rights holders and what a dedicated Premier League media service could eventually become.Continue the discussion with us.Follow The NN Pod for more Arsenal and football content.All our links: https://beacons.ai/thennpodChapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:48) - Community Shield & European Super Cup(02:34) - Could the Community Shield Be Expanded?(06:57) - Jeff Bezos, Liverpool Investment & FSG's Future(11:22) - West Ham's Ownership Battle(15:50) - Premier League Money & the Football Pyramid(18:53) - League One Spending Rules & Player Welfare(22:37) - Ebbsfleet United's Financial Problems(26:17) - Brighton, Safe Standing & Stadium Revenue(30:36) - Supporters, Hospitality & Player Image Rights(34:26) - Premier League Streaming & the Future of Broadcasting(40:19) - Outro & Football Returns

You understand English—podcasts, movies, lessons, fast conversations—but when it's time to speak, the words don't come out. In this episode, we uncover the real reason nobody explains: input (what you understand) and output (what you can say) are two different skills.You'll learn why you can spend thousands of hours listening and still feel stuck speaking, and how to start building the “bridge” from understanding to confident communication. I'll share a simple mindset shift plus 3 practical ways to turn what you learn into real spoken English:SEE IT (Image Connection): attach new words and expressions to a powerful image so English comes faster than translation.FEEL IT (Life Experience Connection): connect what you learn to a real moment from your life—so it becomes a memory (and a story you can tell).SAY IT (Teaching Connection): tell one person what you learned today—no perfect grammar required—so the English has to come out.If you've ever thought, “I understand everything, but I can't speak,” this episode will change how you practice—starting today.Study with me:https://speakenglishwithtiffani.com/365system
Have you ever heard of the owner who's the manager who's been the CEO as well as the kitman? Well if you haven't, you're about to, and this is a serious conversation despite at times seeming comical when you read that out.Marc White founded Dorking Wanderers in 1999 with a group of friends in the lowest division of English football, 17 tiers below the Premier League. In the last few years, they have got as high as the 5th, just one promotion from the EFL. Marc is still the owner, and the manager. His views on football as a business, how you can prove yourself without a background in the game, and building a club that does not run the risk of going out of business is one that anyone who tunes into this show regularly will love. As you will see, he is also a massive character. Time to meet him. I'm delighted to welcome Marc to the Business of Sport.A huge thank you to our amazing partners on the show: AirwallexThe intelligent financial platform for global businesseshttps://www.airwallex.com/uk/GeminiWe empower the most confident sports organisations on Earthhttps://geminisports.ai/If you're interested in partnering with the show, please reach out to us atbos@20vc.com

Yes, it's that time again - Season Preview and Predictions!

Has Hartlepool's transfer activity propelled them into title contenders? Will the newly promoted sides cope or struggle? And will Dan predict Barrow to be relegated for the fifth season in a row?This is the first of a bumper week of episodes ahead of the opening fixture against Worthing - keep an eye out for more content throughout the week!Lots discussed including:

This week we had a really nice show schedule planned out, but after the incredible news of FIFA looking to sell off some of the World Cup ownership, it was inevitable that the main topic of this show would then shift to that.So it has been a last-minute change, but we will be doing our best with the information that we have to get stuck into probably what is the biggest football story since the European Super League from a business perspective, at least. Add to that a look at the Commonwealth Games, which kicked off last week in Glasgow after Australia pulled out of hosting the event in 2023, and a look at the GAA in Ireland, one of sport's most fascinating stories, and whether the Premier League and the EFL can strike a deal before the football regulator hands in their first report.

How to Lead a Premier League Football Club: Paul Barber OBE on Leadership, Governance, and Growing the Women's Game This week's guest is Paul Barber OBE, Chief Executive and Deputy Chairman of Brighton & Hove Albion and non-executive director at Women in Football. Paul has spent over 30 years in the game, working across the FA, EFL, Premier League clubs, and MLS with Vancouver Whitecaps. In this conversation, he opens up about what it actually takes to lead a modern football club – from managing pressure and making hundreds of decisions a month, to building culture across two sites and being visible to every member of staff. This is a grounded, honest masterclass on leadership, governance, allyship, and long-term thinking in football. What You'll Discover: Why football clubs are small businesses with huge impact Behind the Premier League spotlight, most clubs run with relatively small off-field teams, working seven days a week across stadium and training ground. How corporate skills transfer to elite sport Paul's years at Barclays gave him rigorous training in planning, budgeting, management, and people development. Composure, pressure and the 'acting skills' of a Football CEO Results swing, league tables change, pressure intensifies. Paul explains how he's learned to stay calm externally even when he feels exactly like the fans internally — and why consistency, perspective, and responsibility to his staff shape how he shows up on matchday and in crisis. Building Europe's first purpose-built women's stadium Paul unpacks Brighton's bold plan to invest £75–80 million in a purpose-built stadium for their women's team — designed through a female performance lens and a different audience profile. He explains why this is both the right thing for athletes and a long-term business play, and how it can set a standard for other clubs. Humour as a strategic leadership tool (with Jeff Mostyn) Through stories of former AFC Bournemouth chairman Jeff Mostyn — including hiding under a boardroom table and cutting tension in Premier League meetings — Paul shows how humour can defuse conflict, build relationships, and keep people going through intense periods like COVID. Paul shares three practical tips for building a career in football Paul closes with three simple, powerful principles for anyone who wants to work in football and much more!

Many behavior analysts have experienced the frustration of teaching a skill successfully in one setting only to discover that it doesn't transfer to the situations where it actually matters. In this episode, I sit down with Kristina Montgomery and Emily Beal Wilkinson of Victory Academy to discuss how Essential for Living (EFL) and event-based teaching can help bridge that gap. Kristina and Emily share their professional journeys into behavior analysis and describe how discovering Dr. Patrick McGreevy's Essential for Living framework reshaped their approach to supporting learners with limited skill repertoires. Rather than focusing on isolated skill acquisition, EFL prioritizes the development of functional, meaningful skills that improve quality of life and increase independence. A major focus of our conversation is event-based teaching, an instructional approach that embeds learning opportunities within naturally occurring and highly meaningful activities. From gardening and cooking to operating school cafés and participating in role-playing activities, Kristina and Emily explain how these experiences allow practitioners to teach multiple skills simultaneously while creating natural sources of reinforcement. We also discuss: How Kristina and Emily first discovered Essential for Living and why it resonated with their clinical experiences. Why traditional skill-building approaches sometimes fail to produce meaningful generalization. The concept of "stacking" activities to address multiple goals through a single event. Examples of event-based teaching activities including gardening, cooking, cafés, and community-based experiences. A detailed case study illustrating the transition from VB-MAPP-style programming to contextual, event-based instruction. How literacy, communication, social, and adaptive skills can be embedded within meaningful activities. The role of natural reinforcement in improving learner engagement. Their innovative health and wellness program designed to teach tolerance for medical and dental procedures. How desensitization training can reduce the need for sedation, restraint, and other restrictive practices. The collateral benefits these programs create for families and healthcare providers. Research questions related to contextual instruction, assessment, staff satisfaction, and BCBA training. Advice for newly certified behavior analysts on professional development and values-based practice. This episode will be especially valuable for behavior analysts, special educators, and anyone supporting individuals with significant support needs who are looking for practical ways to make instruction more meaningful, functional, and socially significant.
