USL League One spreading out West is an essential part of the plan over the next few years (“Manifest Destiny for L1”). Forming a Western Division would cut down on travel costs and make a 3rd tier professional club more affordable to operate. It is cities like Boise that are the perfect fit for joining the USL Western Front. The intrigue for the city as a potential soccer hotbed piqued after two friendlies produced sell-out results in the recent history. There was an Athletic Bilbao vs Liga MX Club Tijuana in 2015 that drew nearly 22k people into Boise State (where the infamous blue turf was covered with grass for the event…). Then there was a very unique event - where a USL Championship regular season league game took place (Portland Timbers II vs Swope Park Rangers) in 2016 at a High School in Boise and sold out the field at 4,350 people. The feeling of it being a good fit for USL is proving to be true as the club have already sold 3,500 season tickets for their USL League One Inaugural year. That is even without the branding in place (which is set to be released on June 27th). There was a brief period where the local Minor League Ownership group (of Boise Hawks) was speaking with USL to get a USL Championship squad. But Covid changed the narrative there. Now the timing is right and an All Star Front Office composed of four individuals - each with a different, unique specialty, are the ones backing this new project. There's NBA Executive experience, US Soccer Experience, Idaho Youth Soccer, and Real Estate Development experience all coming together to give this project legs. The Stadium project is perhaps one of the best stadium projects in the Country at the moment as well. They are converting an old horse racing track into a 6,000 fan soccer-specific stadium that has an incredible mountain backdrop. Phase 2 of the stadium project, which will hopefully be necessary as USL institutes promotion/relegation, would add an additional 5,000 seats for a capacity of 11,000 people. Needless to say, I'm looking forward to watching how things unfold in Boise, Idaho and I appreciate Bill Taylor for taking the time to speak with me. Here's a snippet of our conversation.

Today we're delighted to welcome Bradford City CEO Ryan Sparks to the show. Promotions don't come much more dramatic than Bradford City's 96th minute winner on the final day of the season to seal promotion to league one. We know how important it is to move through the leagues for both the business and performance side of clubs.  Bradford is a team with immense support, Premier League history, a 25,000 seater stadium…but it's been a chaotic 25 years since leaving the premier league. Administration, relegations, England's 4th tier, cup finals; moments of real lows with a sprinkling of hope. That's football to most.  We primarily think of the extreme pressure and scrutiny in football falling on the players, but executives shoulder a huge portion of that too. Once the youngest CEO in the EFL at 29, it hasn't always been smooth sailing for Ryan. But with the first major steps achieved, this is the man in charge of restoring a great club's successes with the platform now to build from.  On today's show we discuss: How Promotion was Achieved: The story (from the boardroom) and that crazy final day which saw Bradford promoted with almost the last kick of the season. How does the performance and business sides of the club differ when it comes to handling the pressures of results. What needs to be in place to achieve promotion, and how well are the club set up to perform in League One? How do the finances of Bradford compare to other teams in League Two and does success correlate with financial capabilities? Recovering from previous relegations and the impact past failures had on being able to bounce back. Business of Bradford: How to create a stable £8-9m business in League Two. What areas of the business and most influential in generating revenue for the club and how does it compare to other teams in the division? Being careful not to fall into the major problem in football finances today; sustainability defined as ‘sustainable losses'. What is the economic impact of promotion? Does having a 25,000 seater stadium significantly increase the earning potential of Bradford, or is there a downside? EFL Opportunities and Challenges: How have Wrexham and Birmingham (among others) impacted the financial demands on clubs in lower league football? How the new media deal actually did not favour Bradford…why did they still vote for it? ‘The English Pyramid' is the greatest footballing institution in football; how do you protect its financial capabilities while continuing to celebrate Premier League success? Can a football club really protect itself from overspending?

Finals series are taking shape around the rugby world, as Brett McKay and Harry Jones rip into another Weekend Post-Mortem for The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast, and in which they explore the power of song as a coping tool for loss.

Archie is joined by Belgian football consultant Scott Coyne to discuss the recent appointments of David Fox as Head of Football Operations and Tom Randle as Head of Recruitment. The pair explore what each role is likely to involve and how Randle's position may, in fact, more closely resemble that of a Sporting Director. They compare the British and European footballing models, reflecting on the structures Miron Muslic was used to during his time in Belgium.The conversation then shifts to what these changes could mean for Miron's future at Argyle, and how his role as Head Coach might align with the responsibilities of both Fox and Randle. There's also time to touch on reported interest from QPR, and to look ahead to what League One life might look like under Muslic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

And that's that. Alex, Archie, Chris and Mark gather for the 150th Pilgrims Podcast to discuss a spirited, eventful, and ultimately appropriate end to Argyle's two-year tenure in the Championship.Part 1 examines a solid performance against high-quality opposition. Caleb Roberts and his bizarre record of starts against strong teams, the continued rise of Mustapha Bundu, Muslic-ball beginning to take a more recognisable shape, and the somehow inevitable last-minute defeat to the champions all feature. Not a bad way to bring the curtain down, with the added benefit of preventing a claret and blue open-top bus tour. As ever, huge praise for the home fans and, through gritted teeth, for a jubilant away end too.Part 2 dives deep into the Head Coach, his strong words during the week, and the ‘will he stay or will he go' debate. The apparent appointment of a new Director of Football and a renewed focus on footballing infrastructure—what this means for the squad, and how everyone really feels about a return to League One—are discussed. It's not as miserable as it sounds.Resurgam.(Hopefully.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Liverpool wrapped up the Premier League and secured their 20th top-flight title, but Eddie doubts they'll be able to repeat the feat next season. Wrexham's promotion from League One also puts them one step closer to the Premier League, but the Championship may be their toughest test yet. The Cleveland Browns finally halted Shedeur Sanders' slide down the 2025 NFL Draft in the 5th round, but is there any justification for the accusations of racism or bias behind the drop? Eddie and Frank think it had more to do with his talent than his personality.  Plus, the Last of Us 2 season 2 is in full swing, but is Bella Ramsey capable of taking the lead from Pedro Pascal, and why have the writers made Ellie so unlikeable? 

Part One: Wrexham legend Mickey Thomas reflects on the club's latest promotion and the pivotal role he played at the start of the incredible journey under Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. Thomas was centre stage at the Cae Ras alongside the charismatic owners as they celebrated an unprecedented third promotion in a row. The 70-year-old also pays tribute to his friend Mike Peters, the lead singer of The Alarm and huge football fan, who died this week.Part Two: Carl, Iwan and Sam ponder what next for Cardiff City after their relegation to League One. Did the troubled club need to hit "rock bottom" to instigate some of the operational changes many have demanded for such a long time? And is Alan Sheehan the correct man to bring stability and success to Swansea City?

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Atlanta United traded Xande Silva to St. Louis last night for a guaranteed $100K in General Allocation Money, and St. Louis will take his full salary onto their salary cap. The fee could rise to $250K in GAM if certain incentives are met.Other moves around the league yesterday, the final day of the Primary Transfer Window, included Willy Agada going to RSL and Robert Taylor moving from Miami to Austin. More moves could be announced today, the deals had to be completed on paper by last night to be official. The window is now closed until the Secondary Transfer Window for MLS opens in late July. Vancouver hosts Miami tonight in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup semifinals in what should be a sold out BC Place. People are comparing it to Pele's visit with the Cosmos in 1977. Don't discount the Whitecaps in this one, they're currently leading the Supporters' Shield race in MLS and navigated tricky matches with Monterrey and Pumas to get here. Our old friend Juanjo Purata leveled the other semifinal late for Tigres against Cruz Azul. They head to Mexico City for next week's second leg tied at 1-1. Milan hasn't had a great season this year, but they've owned their rivals Inter. Yesterday, they advanced to the Coppa Italia final with a 3-0 win, ruining Inter's treble hopes. Real Madrid defeated Getafe 1-0 yesterday to keep pace with Barcelona at the top of La Liga. However, they lost Eduardo Camavinga due to a torn adductor tendon, he will miss the rest of the season with the injury. They play Barca on Saturday in the Copa del Rey final in Sevilla. Reading have gotten another extension in their deadline to sell the club, they are in the final stages of the transaction and have until May 5 to complete it. The new buyer, who is still confidential at this stage, will take over the current financial obligations of the club right now as they try to earn a promotion playoff spot in League One. Everton announced a new investor, Rangers confirmed the previously reported negotiations with the San Francisco 49ers, and Spezia was sold with Charlie Stillitano becoming the Serie B club's new President. The drama with Vinicius Jr. and Real Madrid was covered a great piece by Mario Cortegana in The Athletic. Basically, don't believe the Spanish tabloids that a contract extension with the club is imminent and don't discount the possibility of Vini ending up in Saudi Arabia for an insane amount of money both to him and Real Madrid. And then, don't be surprised if Madrid go shopping in England to replace him. Check out the podcast for more money talk in the game around the world.More Espresso on Friday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

And suddenly Cardiff City have just two games to save themselves from relegation to League One. Manager Omer Riza paid the price for a run of one win in 13 with the sack, leaving local hero Aaron Ramsey the unenviable task of trying to save the Bluebirds. He was close to securing a precious win in his first game in charge, but a wonder strike from Oxford's Cameron Brannagan ended that. So it leaves Cardiff needing to win their final two games of the season to stand a chance of staying up... and Iwan and Sam aren't ready to give up hope just yet.No such worries for Swansea, who have surged clear of relegation trouble with a record-breaking run of wins.

But at least he felt the love from the Burnley faithful on the long journey back from Bolton.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.Nottingham Forest are trying to book their spot in the Champions League for next season and secure a top-4 finish in the Premier League this season. Nuno Espírito Santo has gone about it in a very different way than most, but it has worked up to this point for his squad. They could be the first team in Premier League history to finish in the top 4 with average possession numbers of less than 40%. What's interesting is that they pair that with dropping off from a higher press as well. They try to pick teams off in the middle third or defensive third, baiting opposing center backs or defensive midfielders by dropping off the ball to take away their passing options. Forest's attackers almost want the opponent on the ball to pass them, they stay high and look for the direct counter. Nuno's side tries to force opponents to play longer or through a crowded middle of the pitch. When Forest wins the ball, they have even numbers to attack with a direct approach. It's worked well. Generally when they've conceded goals, it's been from crosses or from shots outside the 18. Is it a recipe for long term success? It's never been done this way and been successful for one season, so let's continue to wait and see. Could it get Forest to the Champions League? It's possible as 3 spots will get decided between 5 teams that are currently separated by 3 points. Forest is in 3rd at the moment with the top 5 going into next season's Champions League. Leeds and Burnley will rejoin the Premier League next season and have settled into that yo-yo level between the top flight and the Championship. Leeds want to be an established top flight team like they've been for the majority of this history (before the Premier League anyway), but can they get there? It seems that as time continues to tick on, there's a new tier of clubs between the Premier League and Championship. It's not ideal for teams to be constantly going back and forth, but I'm not sure what could be done to prevent these gaps forming between clubs based on riches or spending. Wrexham is trying to change their status as they seek their third straight promotion. They sit in 2nd place in League One right now and are on pace to earn promotion to the Championship. Is that where their promotion train slows? Will make for interesting television either way, right?Georgia high school soccer action is now into the state tournament portion of the schedule.
