Will Bain with the details of a 'framework' for a likely compromise on trade talks between the US and China this week. Proposals include a deferral of China's strict export controls of rare earths, minerals critical to US tech and industrial production. In return, the US proposes an end to promised retaliatory tariffs. We hear from an international trade expert on the robustness of the framework. And, a consultation has ended on Government plans to fine firms that repeatedly pay their suppliers late. Big companies have warned of investment risks if the plans go ahead. We speak to a small business leader involved in the discussions. And in football, embattled Sheffield Wednesday have finally entered administration. With a 12-point deduction from the EFL to contend with, what chances are there a likely buyer can be found?.

0 :12 -Reflections on Youth Sports and Goalkeeping IdolsMark O'Neill reminisced about a significant match from his youth where he was awarded man of the match, reflecting on the pride that comes from earning accolades. Michael Wright noted the difference between past and present sports culture, particularly regarding participation medals, and how earned achievements create lasting memories. They both acknowledged the importance of these experiences in shaping their love for the game.2:51 Memorable Sports Moments and Team DynamicsMark O'Neill described the thrill of England's victory in the 2019 Cricket World Cup, highlighting the communal atmosphere in a bar filled with fans. Michael Wright recounted his own experience during the final, where he balanced a coaching task with the excitement of the match. Both emphasized the importance of memorable moments in sports.17:39 Understanding Football Club Ownership and Stakeholder PerspectivesMark O'Neill elaborates on his research focused on football club ownership regulation and the differing views of stakeholders, particularly fans. He emphasizes that fans prioritize sporting ambition over financial stability, using examples like Newcastle and Sheffield Wednesday to illustrate how ownership impacts club success. O'Neill also discusses the evolution of ownership structures, noting the shift from community-based ownership to profit-driven models.24:55 -Ownership Models in Football ClubsMark O'Neill explained the differences between multi-club ownership models, such as the City Football Group's centralized management and Chelsea's hedge fund approach. He emphasized that some clubs use these models to develop players as assets for future sales. Additionally, he addressed the controversial ownership of Newcastle, suggesting it may be an example of "sports washing" by the Saudi state to divert attention from human rights issues.39:04 Regulatory Challenges in Football Club OwnershipMichael Wright raised concerns about the FAA's capacity to challenge football club owners when issues arise. Mark O'Neill highlighted that the AFL's powers are restricted, as they can only act if owners fail to meet the Owners and Directors test criteria. He emphasized that an independent regulator would have the necessary authority to take control of a club and facilitate its sale if the owner is not acting in the club's best interest.42:31 - Discussion on Club Ownership and Financial ChallengesThe conversation between Michael Wright and Mark O'Neill focused on the ownership issues of Morecambe and Bury, emphasizing the detrimental impact of financial mismanagement. Mark noted that Jason Whittenham's reluctance to finalize a sale despite having a buyer ready raised questions about his motivations. They expressed concern over the opaque funding sources of Morecambe's new owners and the potential risks for the club's future.47:57 -Future of Football OwnershipMark O'Neill addressed the evolving landscape of football ownership, emphasizing the trend towards multi-club ownership and the influx of foreign investors, especially from the U.S. He raised concerns about American investors attempting to implement a closed system similar to the Super League, but acknowledged the role of independent regulators in maintaining the integrity of the sport. O'Neill also pointed out that the influence of big clubs over the football pyramid is a longstanding issue.52:50 -Discussion on Football Club OwnershipMark O'Neill expressed admiration for owners like Dale Vince of Forest Green Rovers and Steve Gibson of Middlesbrough, noting their commitment to the clubs' best interests. Michael Wright added that while some clubs, like Tottenham, are well-run commercially, there are criticisms regarding their ambition. They both acknowledged the complexities of ownership models and the impact of regulations on clubs. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
