In this Q&A episode, Gary, Alan and special guest Miguel Delaney - Chief Football Writer for The Independent answer your questions on the biggest story in Premier League history. Are the public right to condemn City before the appeal has even played out or should we be more cautious, given what happened with the old UEFA case against City? What punishment will City actually get? A fine? A points deduction spread across multiple seasons? Expulsion? And if they do get expelled, what happens to the relegation places? Do two go down, or is it still three? Could City's owners face retrospective fit and proper person test and could they be forced to sell? Learn more about your ad choices.

Billi breaks down the latest blockbuster developments surrounding Manchester City, after their SHAM commercials were publicly exposed by the Premier League.The independent commission found Man City guilty of:Man City arranged 'sham' contracts with a number of its commercial partners to artificially inflate the club's revenues and reduce its costs by more than £900m.The club filed accounts that concealed the true state of its finances from auditors and football regulators.Man City was significantly in breach of both the Premier League's and UEFA's spending limits.During the Premier League's investigation, Man City failed to co-operate and act in good faith towards the league.This episode also looks at a handful of selected UEFA Nations League matches, including France versus Italy, which will be Zidane's first home game in-charge of France, and England's trip to Croatia. Both Croatia and England have begun their campaigns with a win over Czech Republic and a defeat to world champions Spain, and now they meet in Rijeka hoping to get the upper hand in Group 3. A Lamine Yamal masterclass dealt Croatia a heavy defeat away to Spain and their 4-2 defeat to England in the World Cup will still be fresh in their memory.

Man City found guilty of serious financial breaches across nine seasons – sham sponsorships, disguised owner funding, £900m+. Stu Wright & Mo Stewart ask how City got past UEFA & CAS, what rivals lost (Liverpool 2014, Klopp's 97 points) and what punishment could ever be proportionate. Learn more about your ad choices.

A büntetés valódi mértéke csak a fellebbezés után fog kiderülni, de ennél talán fontosabb, hogy a Premier League hivatalosan is kimondta: a Manchester City 2009 és 2018 között pénzügyi csalásokat követett el. A liga nyomozása 2023 februárjában kezdődött. Három és fél év rendkívül hosszú idő, türelmetlenné is tett mindenkit, de nem azért tartott idáig, mert a Premier League szerette volna szőnyeg alá söpörni az ügyet. Mik voltak az első reakciók a Citytől, Guardiolától vagy a klub korábbi játékosaitól? Milyen erők dolgoznak az igazság felderítése mellett és ellen? Mi lesz végül a büntetés? És mit hozhat egy büntetés magával a Manchester City, a riválisok és a Premier League számára?Kibeszélő az ügyről Peettel, Márkkal és Chrisszel!

Cabaretier, columnist en PSV-supporter Rob Scheepers is de speciale gast in de nieuwe aflevering van de ED-podcast Heet van de Herdgang. Tijdens de interlandpauze is er volop gelegenheid om met de Sterkselnaar over meer te praten dan alleen voetbal. Zo vertelt hij over het pas verschenen kinderboek Familie Flatus en de verdwenen gouden verf. Hij schreef het boek samen met Woutrie Verduijn. Luisteraars van Heet van de Herdgang kunnen een door Scheepers gesigneerd exemplaar winnen. Hoe? Luister daarvoor naar de podcast. Scheepers toert momenteel met zijn voorstelling Op z’n scherpst door Nederland. Hij praat met de podcastmakers Mascha Prins, Rik Elfrink en Frank van den Muijsenberg onder meer over de overeenkomsten tussen optreden in een theater en voetballen voor een groot publiek. Ook is er aandacht voor de Nations League-wedstrijden van het Nederlands elftal en de terugkeer van Joey Veerman in Oranje. Nog één keer wordt de discussie gevoerd over de vraag waarom Veerman, die in augustus PSV verruilde voor Borussia Dortmund, afgelopen zomer ontbrak in de WK-selectie. Wat schieten de clubs trouwens op met al die interlands? Scheepers heeft uitgerekend wat PSV voor het afstaan van zijn internationals van de UEFA ontvangt. Verder bespreken de vier waarom de PSV-spelers steeds minder bereikbaar zijn voor supporters en journalisten. Op de Herdgang, vroeger een toegankelijke plek voor zowel fans als pers, gaan er steeds meer deuren dicht.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lauren Malloy was a baby when her mother, Lori, was murdered in East Providence, Rhode Island. For thirty years, no one told her. Everyone said Lori died of natural causes. Then a stranger sent Lauren a message — and the lie collapsed. Now Lauren is investigating her own mother's murder. She's recorded hundreds of hours of interviews with law enforcement, family, childhood friends, and people who won't stop contradicting each other. Every answer opens a darker question. Every person she trusts seems to be hiding something. And the closer she gets to the truth, the more she realizes the people she trusts may be the ones with the most to hide. A 10-part true crime investigation hosted by the victim's daughter. Lauren's mission: to finally uncover the identity of Lori's killer.

Han blev fotbollsvärldens mäktigaste person med löften om förbättring. Men tio år senare är Gianni Infantinos namn mer synonymt med storhetsvansinne. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Från en alpby i Schweiz till ”järntronen” högst upp i fotbollspyramiden – Gianni Infantinos resa genom maktens korridorer i fotbollsvärlden visar att idrottsadministration på hög internationell nivå är mer ”Game of thrones”-intrigerande än grådaskig kansliverksamhet.När schweiz-italienaren Infantino väljs till internationella fotbollsförbundet Fifas ordförande 2016 dras organisationen med ett skamfilat rykte, efter en korruptionsskandal som har skakat om hela fotbollsvärlden.Budskapet från Gianni Infantino är att de som styr måste bete sig mindre som politiker och mer som fans, för fotbollen tillhör fansen. Men det dröjer inte länge innan det börjar viskas om mutor och korruption i samband med den nye ordföranden också.Han solar sig i glansen med Rysslands president Vladimir Putin, och skrattar ikapp med Saudiarabiens kronprins Mohammed bin Salman. Han blir omedelbart ett internetmeme efter en historisk presskonferens i Qatar, och han delar ut ett alternativt fredspris till sin gode vän Donald Trump. Budskapet från hela fotbollsvärldens pappa är att ”fotboll förenar”. Med löften om pengar har han länge lyckats mobilisera stöd bakom sig. Men under några heta veckor sommaren 2026 händer saker som får bägaren att rinna över för Infantinos kritiker.Nu kämpar han för sin överlevnad på tronen.I avsnittet medverkar Olof Lundh, krönikör på TV4 och Fotbollskanalen, Lars-Christer Olsson, tidigare verkställande direktör på den europeiska fotbollskonfederationen Uefa, och Samir Yosufi, sportreporter på P3.Ljuden i avsnittet kommer från Fifas officiella Youtubekanal, Uefas officiella Youtubekanal, Sky Sports, CBS News, BBC.Avsnittet gjordes hösten 2026 av produktionsbolaget Dist.Programledare och producent: Vendela LundbergAvsnittsmakare och reporter: Patrick StaneliusMixtekniker: Fredrik Nilsson

Los jugadores de la República de Irlanda e Israel no se dieron la mano ni antes ni después del polémico partido de la Liga de Naciones de la UEFA que se disputó el domingo en Hungría.

This week Dan and James take aim at one of football's biggest governing bodies: UEFA. And, naturally, we're asking the important question — is UEFA secretly an evil organisation plotting the downfall of football? From cramming the football calendar with increasingly glorified international friendlies to constantly finding new ways to give the richest clubs even more money, Dan and James investigate whether UEFA is actually making football better… or making it harder to enjoy. Is there simply too much football? Are the same clubs being allowed to get richer and richer? And if UEFA really does have a secret plan to ruin the game, how exactly do we fix it? It's time to fix UEFA, alright?! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Manchester United have just posted record revenue of £677.6m. They also lost £43m.So is the club healthy? Can it still buy players? And what does the Glazer debt actually cost?I'm a season ticket holder, and I get frustrated watching people with no business background explain football club accounts. I own multiple businesses and I know my way around a balance sheet, so I've gone through United's FY26 results properly.In this episode:- How the Glazers bought the club, and why the mechanics are the same as an interest-only buy-to-let mortgage- Where record revenue came from in a season without European football- EBITDA and player amortisation in plain English- Why academy players are pure profit on the books- Where the cash went: players, land for the new stadium and refinancing- Why selling future transfer instalments early is a warning sign- Whether the debt really stops United buying players, and what UEFA's squad cost rules mean- Who pays for a new stadiumThe Business Doctor Broadcast is a new series from The Property Doctor podcast.

「広島に加入したアレー「チームの戦術に適応できなかった選手として記憶されている」」　　J1のサンフレッチェ広島に今2026年夏に加入したコートジボワール代表FWセバスティアン・アレーは、32歳で日本に活躍の場を移した。欧州での不振や代表落選を経験したストライカーが、新たな環境で再出発を図っている。　UKメディア『Claret & Hugh』は「ウェストハムが4,500万ポンド（約94億円）で獲得した男、数千マイル離れた地でキャリア再起を図る」と題した記事を掲載した。アレーは2019年、当時プレミアリーグのウェストハム・ユナイテッド（現イングランド2部）にクラブ史上最高額の4,500万ポンドで加入していた。　同メディアは「ウェストハムのサポーターにとって、アレーは大きな期待を抱かせながらも、最後までチームの戦術に適応できなかった選手として記憶されている」と伝えている。　アレーは、ウェストハムに加入前の活躍を同クラブで再現できず、獲得時を下回る移籍金でエールディビジのアヤックス・アムステルダムへ移籍。その後は同リーグでゴール記録を塗り替え、UEFAチャンピオンズリーグでも活躍したとのことだ。　日本への移籍前に所属したエールディビジのユトレヒトでは、21試合で1ゴールにとどまり、契約満了で退団した。コートジボワール代表の2026 FIFAワールドカップ出場メンバーからも外れ、引退を考えていたとも報じられたという。　しかし、日本ではチームが8試合を終えた時点で6試合に出場し、3ゴール1アシストを記録。ただ、直近2試合はメンバーから外れており、同メディアは欠場の理由が明らかになっていないと伝えている。　アレーは2022年に精巣の悪性腫瘍が見つかり、化学療法を経て2023年1月に復帰した。翌2023年にはアフリカネーションズカップの決勝戦でゴールを挙げ、コートジボワール代表のナイジェリア代表に対する2対1の勝利と地元開催での優勝に大きく貢献していた。

Sports organisations have spent years talking about data as the key to growth. But what if most are approaching it the wrong way? In the latest episode of our New Economics of Fandom miniseries, Chris Stone and Nick Meacham are joined by UEFA Chief Marketing & Chief Digital Officer Roman Putsch to explore how one of the world's leading sports properties approaches fan engagement, first-party data and commercial growth. Putsch explains why UEFA views data as "crude oil, not gold", how the organisation measures audience quality rather than simply audience size, and why creating value for fans must come before collecting information from them. The conversation also explores sponsorship activation, media rights, and the capabilities sports organisations need to build for the future. The New Economics of Fandom is produced in partnership with Genius Sports and explores how sport's commercial future is being reshaped by technology, data and changing fan behaviour. Key Points:How are sports organisations are thinking about data the wrong way.How fan value creates data value, not the other way around.The best metrics for evaluating audience quality.Why "owning the fan" may be the wrong objective for sports organisations.How to build the capabilities needed for sport's next commercial era.

How do NWSL clubs remain competitive in the global transfer market despite strict financial restrictions? How can we connect the transfers/transactions we saw at the end of the window to this weekend's results on the pitch?In this episode, LDG examines the systemic issues animating the league's salary cap architecture, a framework forcing front offices to build rosters like a puzzle to survive against the unconstrained spending of Europe, and how it connects to the results we see on the pitch. He explores whether a league with the wealthiest ownership groups in women's sports can achieve global dominance while its administrative rules actively hold ambitious investors back.The discussion begins with the profound paradox playing out in the capital, where Washington Spirit owner Michele Kang deployed millions to secure stars like Claudia Martínez and Clara Luvanga. LDG breaks down how the rigid Net Transfer Threshold penalizes this economic ambition, triggering active reductions to a club's salary cap for non-compliance. He directly contrasts the American system with the European model, comparing the NWSL's manufactured middle class against the uncapped spending power of UEFA giants like Lyon, Barcelona, and Chelsea.He walks through the Washington Spirit's use of staggered annual installments, explains the loan mechanism utilized by San Diego Wave FC to acquire elite talent, and dissects the internal asset inflation that saw the Utah Royals drop historic transaction funds for forward Jameese Joseph.He also dives into the breaking intra-league transfer of rookie forward Gianna Paul from the Kansas City Current to the North Carolina Courage, analyzing the distinct rationale behind the move for both organizations. Shifting from player management to leadership instability, LDG addresses the breaking news out of Texas, where the Houston Dash fired head coach Fabrice Gautrat and technical director Twila Kilgore.From there, he transitions into a comprehensive matchday roundup across a massive weekend of action, breaking down the fixtures results and tactics, with some insights from coaches and players on Gotham, Washington Spirit, San Diego + Chicago included!Thank you all for listening!
