This week we're delighted to welcome EFL Chair Rick Parry to the show. Rick has seen it all in football; The first CEO of the Premier League, CEO of Liverpool (1998-2009), and now Chair of English Football League. It can easily be argued that overseeing the interests of 72 clubs ranging from Leeds to Morecambe, is the hardest job in football. But Rick would never look at it like that. When we asked why take this job now having been offered it in the past, he simply responded ‘because I believe I can make a difference'. Football in the UK is at an interesting junction; the Premier League has never been more successful, financially and engagement wise, but there are question marks over its long term stability. The EFL has recently agreed a mega £1bn broadcast deal with Sky with the quality of football on the rise, yet the financial chasm to the Premier only increases.  How do you make clubs sustainable businesses? How do you bridge the financial gap between the leagues? How do you protect a community's most socially valuable asset? The challenge was laid out perfectly: ‘We want sporting jeopardy without financial catastrophe'. Rick's assessment of the health of the infamous football pyramid alongside the power of enterprise Premier League asks the key question: should the Premier League do more to support the football structure that enables its success?  On today's show we discuss: Forming the Premier League: How was the world's most successful league created in a few hours with a new set of groundbreaking regulations to govern it? The importance of the relationship with Sky in building a business model that supported the global growth of English football and its assets. How much money did the Premier League make compared to the EFL in the first season and what has that gap grown to now? What makes English football so unique and special compared to other leagues?  The essence of the game is opportunity; anyone can reach the Premier League and anyone can win it. Rising through the pyramid (and falling down it) is the jeopardy we all want! Financial Successes and Challenges: The Premier League was productised to create a marketable and best in class football product, but did Rick ever expect the gap to the EFL to be so big? How much does the EFL generate today and what does it need to do to ensure the sustainability of its 72 member clubs? “We must create sporting jeopardy without financial catastrophe”; why owner financing cannot be the model to build a club on. The Premier League makes £2.2bn more than any other League. Why does it need to be spending more money that it's earning? Distribution & Regulation: Should the Premier League be paying more money to the EFL to share in the spoils of the success it achieves as part of the English pyramid? Does football need an independent regulator? What would a regulator be able to do that the current governance structure is incapable of implementing? “You don't need a parachute to fall off a step. You need a parachute to fall off a cliff”; Why parachute payments are a problem. The Premier League has chosen to spend £850m more on wages when the EFL asked for £300m to support their business. What does that mean? Our Partners: Orreco  https://www.orreco.ai/ Scan.com https://uk.scan.com/  

Highlights from the rest of the English Football League. The top 6 in the championship saw very few changes as Leeds's big win only changed the goal differential. At the bottom Portsmouth's big win has moved them out of the drop. Birmingham City's win has pushed them back to the top of Lg 1 as Wycombe and Wrexham are on their heels. Walsall has opened a 6-point lead on the rest of League 2 and the semifinals are set for the league cup.   For Premier League action – we cover EVERY match www.Dufootballshow.com     Facebook @DUfootballshow Instagram @DUfootballshow Twitter @DUfootballshow YouTube @DUfootballshow TikTok  @DUfootballshow

Finally, in League 2 Walsall defeated Port Vale 1-0 to take the top spot.

After amazing shows with a number of CEO's across the football industry, we're today venturing into the lowest of the English Football League's with current League Two promotion chasers Port Vale. Matt Hancock has been CEO of this historic club since January. Having been relegated from League One in his first few months in charge, it's fair to say the learning curve has been steep. But these are the shows we love to do. It's proper business, not propped up by the billions of international ownership. Understanding how to run a sustainable company that is not eternally dependent on owner financing while constantly trying to win on the field is so difficult. Then add the fact that almost every decision is reviewed under a microscope generally with the benefit of hindsight, you do sometimes think who would take this on. But then you remember that alongside these challenges comes the privilege of looking after the thing that can give people their greatest enjoyment. The lower down the football pyramid you go, being a CEO is about building an environment to sustain a community's most valued asset. This is a compelling reveal on how you do just that. On today's show we discuss: Becoming a CEO in Football: How did Matt come to take charge of one of English Football's oldest clubs? From building community to winning on the pitch, what are the key focuses of clubs the lower down the Football League you go? How important is the relationship between executive and owner? It's about more than results; why Matt believes his job is to ensure those working at the club know that success can be about more than 3 points on a Saturday.  How to ensure you keep level headed, not getting too high on the highs and too low on the lows. Handling Relegation: Port Vale got relegated from League One in the first few months of Matt's tenure as CEO. How did he make sure the club recovered to build for the new season? The importance of a great manager in the lower leagues; why Darren Moore has been crucial to the recent development of Port Vale. What attracts players to a club that goes beyond just being paid the most? The financial impact of relegation and trying to move away from a reliance on owner funding to ensure sustainability. Working for the Fans & Community: Is it better to over communicate with fans and open yourself up to increased scrutiny or reduce what you share and lose connectivity? How Port Vale has become an intrinsic part of its community and the importance of the club to the local area. The challenge of ensuring you don't make decisions based on fan sentiment; how to remain neutral and not be influenced by emotion. The role of lifelong Vale fan Robbie Williams! Communicating spend away from the pitch on infrastructure and development is important to create an understanding around the need to build value in the ‘business' of the club.

After winning 6 out of the last 7 titles, Manchester City are unbeaten in all 28 of their PL games in 2024, and yet again they sit at the top of the table. Cherries have not taken a single point from Man City in the top flight and indeed, it is the most one sided fixture in English Football League history. In the PL alone, the aggregate score is 45-7.

Leicester City have successfully argued that they can not be punished for PSR breaches as per the Premier League's own rules. On Tuesday it was revealed that the Foxes, who were a Championship outfit in 2023-24 and won promotion back to English football's top tier after a season away, would not face punishment for the breaches after winning an appeal against the Premier League. But how did they escape punishment? Meanwhile, in other FFP related news, Chelsea have been cleared by the Premier League for the sale of two hotels to a sister company to keep them compliant with profit and sustainability rules.  Such transactions are not allowed in Uefa competitions, with Chelsea back in Europe in the Conference League this season, and in the English Football League after they closed the loophole in 2021, but the Premier League opted against following suit. The Premier League remains open to closing the loophole through a future vote. On today's show, Ian Croll and Chris Beesley head into the Royal Blue studio to discuss all of the above, as well as much more!

Keith later worked as a referees' assessor before, on 1 March 2004, he was appointed general manager of the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL).Today Keith talks about a long career refereeing at the top level of football, his relationship with Sir Alex Ferguson, as well as how the game is changing.
