Football Finance

Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet. Football finance expert Kieran Maguire returns for another Price of Football special, joining Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country to break down one of the most controversial areas of the modern game. We begin with an update on Manchester City’s 115 charges, as Kieran explains where things stand and what could happen next, while City fan Luke shares his frustration at how long the case has dragged on. The focus then shifts to supporters, with rising ticket prices and concerns around the matchday experience. Are clubs turning their backs on fans? Kieran also highlights Aston Villa as the next club potentially at financial risk, and we discuss what that could mean. The debate extends to soaring World Cup ticket prices and the introduction of SCR rules, which could reshape how Premier League clubs operate.

🔵 Welcome back to the Blue Moon Botcast — your home for all things City, all the time! This week, we dive deep into the story everyone’s talking about during the international break — Manchester City’s 115 charges and the growing noise around when a verdict might finally drop. After a 12-week hearing that wrapped up in December 2024, reports now suggest that a decision could come as early as this month.

Kelly Cates is joined by The i Paper's chief football writer Daniel Storey, Sports economist Victor A. Matheson & football finance expert Kieran Maguire, as they delve into the rising number of American owners across British football. It's 20 years since the Glazer family’s highly-controversial and highly-leveraged takeover of Manchester United. Throughout those two decades, the Glazers have been the prime target of fan protests with “Glazers out” still ringing around Old Trafford. So over the course of this episode you’ll hear why US investors are obsessed with British football, and how real are the concerns that US owners could collude to “Americanise” the traditions of English football from the removal of promotion and relegation to moving matches overseas and relocating clubs to other cities.
