I learn something from this podcast every week. It stands on its own with the subjects it covers, and really helps fans to understand the complexities of what running a football club entails.

I’m a Villa fan and have listened to every podcast so far and love the format and content.

A show that pulls back the curtain on football's power centers, governance, and financial decision-making. Two veteran insiders—one a former CEO known for running multiple top clubs, the other an acclaimed football journalist—team up with in-depth analysis from the inside of how ownership structures, regulatory changes, and boardroom strategy shape clubs and leagues.
