Podcast Overview

You've watched the games. You've lived every kick, every decision, every trophy won and lost. But have you ever wondered what really happens in the rooms where football's future is decided? The Football Boardroom is where football fans finally get the answers they've been searching for. For too long, we've been kept on the outside looking in- left to speculate about the deals, the decisions and the power plays that shape the clubs we love. Not anymore. Our hosts have lived and breathed football at the very highest level. Christian Purslow has run three of the biggest clubs in the country: CEO at Liverpool and Aston Villa, managing director at Chelsea. He's been in the room when the biggest calls were made. Henry Winter is a pillar of British football journalism, who has been named the country's Football Writer of the Year seven times. He has spent decades chasing the stories that matter- the ones whispered in corridors and hidden behind boardroom doors. Now, he doesn't need to knock. He's got an access-all-areas pass. Together, Christian and Henry are pulling back the curtain on football's corridors of power, and they're pulling no punches. This isn't commentary from the stands- this is insight from the seats that matter. About the deals that transform your club. It's about the strategies that win titles and cost managers their jobs. It's a window into the egos, the personalities and the billions that flow through the beautiful game. For the deepest football analysis about how football's powerbrokers think, act, and plan, take your seat in The Football Boardroom. This is the podcast for you. A 1071 Media production
