episode Coventry owner Doug King on promotion and Premier League survival | The Football Boardroom cover

Beskrivelse

Coventry City are back in the Premier League after a 25-year absence. What were the principal factors that propelled the club’s return to football’s Promised Land? And how do they stay there?  City owner Doug King breaks off from the much-deserved festivities around Coventry to join Christian and Henry and discuss the club’s remarkable odyssey, his experiences as a football owner and the plan for what comes next. He also shares his thoughts on the football pyramid and the need for a financial deal between the PL and EFL to be done sooner rather than later.

episode Why Premier League boardrooms have become so ruthless | The Football Boardroom cover

Why Premier League boardrooms have become so ruthless | The Football Boardroom

It’s only early July and yet the big transfer deals are flowing. And it’s not just players on the move, with new faces in numerous dugouts. These moves are increasingly being characterised by a ruthlessness in the dealings between clubs as they look to exploit the positions of others and maximise their own hand. What is behind this cutthroat cultural change? How are clubs adapting? And who are the winners and losers? Henry and Christian analyse the latest goings on at Newcastle, Forest, Spurs, Chelsea and Man City.

Hydration breaks have become a much-maligned talking point of this World Cup, it’s very own ‘water cooler’ moment if you like.  But what are the factors at play driving these changes? How will such ‘innovations’ evolve? And will we see a knock-on impact in how the Premier League is broadcast and watched going forward? Henry and Christian talk money, power and politics in the realm of sports broadcasting and ask whether this particular revolution will indeed be televised or not.
