  • Very Good Pod But…

    Really good podcast that answers interesting points. Would be so much better without Kevin’s waffles, ‘jokes’ and constant mentions of his team though.

    Has been loads better when Producer Guy has been presenting.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The value of Manchester United, amortisation and transfer dates
Q: Is there now a loophole with transfers in that club A could buy a player with a sell-on clause included in the contract?
There is indeed a potential for creativity and manipulation within a multi-club ownership model, where player valuations may not reflect true market value, allowing for strategies that might benefit the purchasing club.
Leicester City docked six points by the EFL, how clubs benefit from a behind-the scenes documentary
Q: Do Leicester City have grounds for appeal?
Yes, Leicester may argue that retrospective punishment is not appropriate, and they cannot charge based on another organization's rules.
How ground ownership works with PSR, player contracts and drug bans
Q: Are the ads in football coverage on Prime personalized per viewer like on YouTube?
Yes, there is a possibility for personalized ads on Amazon Prime, differing from traditional broadcasting ads.
How ground ownership works with PSR, player contracts and drug bans
Q: Would a club be able to force a player to return money paid in bonuses if they were found to have taken performance-enhancing drugs?
Legally, it is uncertain, as clubs haven't previously done so; any claim would require proof of financial loss directly tied to the player's actions and performance.
How ground ownership works with PSR, player contracts and drug bans
Q: How does location impact Fulham's fortunes compared to teams like Blackpool or Preston?
Location does greatly impact Fulham's appeal to international investors due to its position in London, which offers logistical ease and prestige.
