Business in Football is a casual discussion between Joe and Josh about the business actions of football clubs. They aim to make sense of why clubs act the way they do off the pitch in a way that is easy to understand. We take a casual dive into the operations behind the scenes of football clubs along with some week to week content related to recent news around the footballing world.
In this episode of Business in Football, Joe and Josh start by discussing the leaked details of Lionel Messi's contract and transfer deadline day ending in relatively uninteresting fashion with mostly loan moves. The main discussion in this podcast is Sunderland AFC who have recently been sold to a 23 year old(!) pending FA approval. After 2 relegations under Ellis Short and fans losing patients after only about 18 months with Stuart Donald as majority owner, the club gains its third owner in four years. How did they go from producing the likes of Jordan Henderson and Jordan Pickford to League 1 mediocrity, and can the new ownership turn things around?
