#994 | Ed and Jamie discuss how English football's huge revenues still produce widespread losses, driven by an arms race in wages and transfer fees. They compare crises elsewhere (French TV rights falling about 80% amid PSG's dominance and conflicts of interest) and note the growth of multi-club ownership and private equity, including Sixth Street's move into Sunderland Women and the broader rise of MCOs. Reviewing 2024/25 accounts, they highlight Chelsea's staggering losses (about £262m pre-tax and cited as closer to £350m for UEFA), reliance on self-deals, and the difficulty of reaching UEFA break-even targets. Arsenal are financially solid but with limited headroom; Liverpool's big summer spend raises future squad-cost risks; City is discussed cautiously pending the 115 charges. They cover Premier League–EFL revenue-sharing tensions and the limits of new squad-cost rules and an independent regulator and touch on Newcastle's stadium sale, Spurs' rising costs, Villa's UEFA constraints, and FIFA World Cup ticket pricing controversies in the US. 00:00 Intro  00:30 Liverpool/PSG 02:50 French Football Crisis 05:51 MCOs, Private Equity and Women's Football 08:11 Premier League Club Finances Overview 15:08 Arsenal and Liverpool 21:31 PSR & Squad Cost Rules 25:38 EFL Revenue Sharing & Sustainability 35:51 Man City and 115 Charges 39:31 Tottenham and Aston Villa 46:42 World Cup 2026: Tickets, Costs & FIFA 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.

There are some big stories to look at this week: politically, commercially and socially charged. Coming up? The uncompromising behavior of Indian cricket and the chaos that has surrounded Bangladesh's removal from the T20 World Cup asks some serious questions of the other major cricketing nations. Are English football clubs falling behind their biggest European rivals off the pitch? What does a head coach endorsing the use of TikTok amongst his players tell us about the shifting approach to how athletes as brands can still work for the performance of a team? We really got stuck into this, not much fence sitting as always. So let's get to it. Welcome to the Breakdown.

All'inizio degli anni Novanta, i diritti tv del calcio emergono come la gallina dalle uova d'oro per i club professionistici. Nel 1992, le società della First Division inglese decidono una storica rottura con la Football League proprio per aumentare i loro guadagni televisivi, e verranno presto imitati nel resto d'Europa. Contemporaneamente, però, anche la UEFA decide di riformare la sua principale competizione: la Coppa dei Campioni cede il posto alla Champions League.LE FONTI USATE PER QUESTO EPISODIO:BOSE Mihir, Game Changer: How the English Premier League Came to Dominate the World, Marshall Cavendish InternationalCONN David, How the FA betrayed their own game, The GuardianKING Anthony, New Directors, Customers, and Fans: The Transformation of English Football in the 1990s, Sociology of Sports JournalSCELLES Nicolas, DERMIT-RICHARD Nadine, HAYNES Richard, What drives sports TV rights?

Welcome to It Was What It Was, the football history podcast. This week co-hosts Jonathan Wilson and Rob Draper delve into George Orwell's infamous essay on sport, specifically focusing on Dinamo Moscow's 1945 tour of Britain. They explore Orwell's controversial viewpoint that serious sport is akin to 'war minus the shooting,' and delve into the historical and political context of this post-WWII football tour. The discussion covers the tactical innovations introduced by the Soviet team, the media and public's reaction, and the broader implications for international sport and politics. This episode provides an in-depth look at how football can both unite and divide, reflecting on Orwell's critique and its relevance to today's sports culture.00:00 Introduction: The Dark Side of Sports01:05 George Orwell's Influence on Sports01:49 The Political Context of the 1945 Moscow Tour02:47 The Goodwill Tour: Ideals vs. Reality05:00 The Soviet Union's Football Strategy08:23 The Arrival of Dinamo Moscow21:45 The First Match: Dinamo Moscow vs Chelsea30:53 The Political Showdown: Arsenal vs Dinamo Moscow32:31 The Final Game in Scotland35:56 Soviet Propaganda and the Legacy of the Tour40:36 Tactical Innovations and English Football's Response47:36 George Orwell's Critique of Sport53:18 Football's Role in Nationalism and International Relations01:00:51 Concluding Thoughts on Orwell and Football Hosted on Acast.

After his 1000th game in club management (still 86 behind Brucey, mind), Pep Guardiola has achieved pretty much everything it's possible to achieve in football, including winning the affections of Neil Warnock. But has his influence on English football as a whole been positive?Marcus, Luke and Jim chew on that – plus, is Manuel Pellegrini right that football should introduce a basketball-style 'half-court' rule? How the hell did Kenny Dalglish win the league as a player-manager? And Marcus further confirms himself as a basic English b*****d.

This is PART 2 of a two-part episode. The 1st part aired two weeks ago, and is the most recent on on the Assistant Professor of Football. Please add a like, a comment, a star rating or spread the word by mouth!I was a little starstruck when David Goldblatt showed up on my screen today. His books have done very well for very good reason. You may have read The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football or The Ball Is Round: A Global History of Football.David is a sociologist, has a part time academic home in the US as well, at Pitzer college in LA, and this one, Injury Time: Football in a State of Emergency, is a book for the moment. The thesis is simple: a lot of the spaces for communicalism have been devolved in neoliberal Great Britain. But football is the dominant cultural form in modern Britain, not only a reflection or mirror, but the “central metaphorical space” in which the country still speaks with itself. It is in the game, he believes, that English people clearly see themselves. The good and the bad. And the potential for the good, and the bad. Part 2 will come out in 2 weeksLINK: Injury Time, book pageNEW: send me a text message!

Peter McCormack is the Owner and Chairman of Real Bedford, who play in the 8th tier of English Football. But this is unique for a number of reasons. We always look for the stories that represent a different approach to running sports assets, and building your Premier League ambition around Bitcoin is certainly one of those. Peter is the host of one of if not the biggest Bitcoin podcasts. As you'll hear his journey to club ownership is as colourful as it is extraordinary; this is someone who has come through some challenging times to get to where he is now. As you've just heard in the intro, everyone laughed at him when he laid out the plan for Real Bedford, but with a wealth of both deep pocketed sponsors and investors, most notably the storied Winklevoss twins (of Olympic rowing, Facebook lawsuit, and Gemini fame to many of you I'm sure), this is quickly becoming a team with both the resources and strategy to fly up the pyramid. With a women's team competing in the third tier and proving equally ambitious, the plan is to build a club fully representing the community, full of opportunity and success. The usual challenges remain: success vs profit, full attendances, wider football governance. But as this is a place where we want to look at how to create sustained value beyond football's historic and increasingly out of date financial levers, the Real Bedford model is a captivating alternative. Not for everyone, not guaranteed to work, and certainly unorthodox, but a bold attempt to break the wheel. On today's show we discuss:  Buying a Football Club How Peter went from addiction to building a media brand around Bitcoin The inside story of how Peter bought Real Bedford FC with podcast money How he convinced the Winklevoss twins to back a team in the tenth tier Why Real Bedford is run more like a startup than a sports club The brutal financial reality of owning a non-league football team Why so many lower-league clubs are unsustainable Brand, Identity & Culture Why Real Bedford has a clearer identity than most football clubs The value of cult storytelling, local community, and crypto-native branding What clubs get wrong about women's football and how Real Bedford does it differently How ambition and relentlessness are what drives the project Why does crypto present an opportunity on the financial side of football ownership that traditional approaches miss? Leadership & Legacy What owning a football club taught Peter about management, burnout, and ego Why he's building a club for his kids, not just for wins How he thinks about failure and what he'd do differently next time "It's not all about winning": Having this approach allows you to recognise success in broader terms, but does it only work at a lower level?

British MPs have voted in favour of a bill establishing an independent regulator to oversee men's football in England's top five divisions. The football governance bill was passed four hundred and fifteen to ninety-eight at its third reading in the House of Commons overnight. The government has previously said an independent regulator will protect football clubs by ensuring their financial stability. Sports reporter Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

All three boys are back in the studio for the first time in what feels like forever — and it's a packed one.The episode kicks off with Chelsea's latest signing, João Pedro. The lads discuss how he could ease the creative burden on Cole Palmer, and whether this is the start of a smart summer window. They also break down Chelsea's wider transfer plans — who else needs to come in, and who still needs to go.The conversation then shifts to the Club World Cup after Chelsea's four-hour match, and the lads briefly touch on Man City's squad and new signings (note — this was recorded before their match against Al Hilal).The boys also dig into the new broadcast innovations coming next season — including pitchside interviews with substitutes and in-game dressing room access. They question whether these changes will enhance the fan experience or if English football is becoming too Americanised. The fellas also touch on Lee Carsley and his success with England's U21s — does he deserve more respect in the game?And finally, the big one: the Mount Rushmore of Premier League Strikers. The boys debate eight iconic names and whittle them down to the final four — including a fiery clash between Adam and Buvey over who deserves a spot.All this and more on the latest episode of The Club.

This week Jon Holmes and Colin Shindler are joined by Omid Djalili to ask the question, “How English is the English football pyramid?”  Of course, football reflects society and since we all began watching football, British society has changed out of all recognition.  If you look at old football matches on The Big Match Revisited on ITV4 on Saturday mornings and other archive film programs you can see how different it was 40 years also ago and how widely British society has changed since then - not just off the field but also on the field.  There is no question that many of the imports into the game from the rest of the world have been a blessing, not least skilful players who have added to the pleasure of the crowds who went to watch them.  However, the sheer number of players playing in the English football game who are not English, Welsh, Scottish or Irish might be to some a cause of concern.  The idea of the one club man who spent his entire career with his local club has passed into History.  Is the globalisation of the game something to celebrate or regret?

Martin Dobson, English football's first £300,000 player, joins Chris Beesley as the latest guest on Goodison Park: My Home to relive Everton matters from the 1970s.  The 77-year-old, who has penned his own autobiography Dobo: For Club and Country, tells the story of how he went from being released by Bolton Wanderers as a teenager to an England international with Burnley and his record-breaking transfer to the Blues in 1974. The classy midfielder has a treasure trove of tails from an era when Everton had several near-misses: in the title race in Dobson's first season, in an epic three-game League Cup final against Aston Villa and a notorious FA Cup semi-final against Liverpool when they were denied a Wembley trip by referee Clive Thomas' controversial decision.  There are also plenty of more-enjoyable moments though as Dobo recalls captaining the Blues to victory in the ‘Andy King' Merseyside Derby, the 6-0 romp against Chelsea when Bob Latchford reached 30 goals for the season and another Goodison game against the west London side when his pal Duncan McKenzie scored for the opposition only for the home crowd to applaud.

Few rivalries are as bitter as the ones that exist between two teams in one city.  Ask New York Mets fans and New York Yankees fans, where the hatred can divide households. Or Chicago Cubs and Chicago White Sox fans whose team alliances mix with the pride in their neighborhoods. While out west, Los Angeles Lakers fans play the big brother, to their neglected stepsiblings, Los Angeles Clippers fans. Well across the pond on Sunday, in the United Kingdom, Manchester will be the site of one of those rivalries as Manchester United and Manchester City will meet in the Manchester Derby for the 195th time. Today Luis Miguel Echegaray, himself a former resident of the U.K., describes how these two clubs have defined the city for decades, and explores the modern challenges each of them are facing on and off the pitch, before explaining to Michele Steele how Liverpool is perched atop the Premier League standings, happy with whatever outcome emerges.

Hello Rank Squad! We're delighted to have a new voice on the show today, Mr Eli Quivey, a self-professed 'English bloke in an American body' and a TikTok star, who has recently spent 10 days completing a football trip of a lifetime around England - visiting his beloved Old Trafford, Anfield on a Champions League night, and of course, the home of football, Craven Cottage. Eli walks us through his journey and what took him to this point, before he takes the reins for the main ranking - talking through the five things he loved most about English Football Culture whilst on this side of the Atlantic, and allowing for some interesting cross-comparison with the experiences he had growing up in the US. Then Dean flips the script, finishing the show with a ranking of the things he has missed most about the UK (from a footballing perspective) since making the hop across to San Diego. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?
