Transfer Spending

This summer, Premier League clubs set a new record for spending in a single transfer window at over £3bn, that’s more than La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Bundesliga combined. On episode two of The Future of Football, we discuss whether the strength of Premier League and the widening gap between the English game and the other top European leagues is an issue. Host Adam Leventhal is joined by Matt Slater and James Horncastle to discuss the future of the English top flight and its competitors.We also hear from two experts from accounting firm Deloitte: head of sport Tim Bridge and Tim Lunn, who is director of media rights. Host: Adam Leventhal With: Matt Slater & James Horncastle Executive Producers: Adey Moorhead & Abi Paterson Producer: Mike Stavrou Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Clayton joins James for a discussion on the lack of spending in the January transfer window and ask if this is a one off caused by fear of failing Profit and Sustainability Reporting or of it's the start of a new trend for spending within the Premier League. Did Everton's points deduction cause fear throughout the league to curb spending and show that FFP/PSR really did have teeth? There's talk of clever accounting, why some transfers may be done differently, the importance of home grown players and if this new era of spending sustainability might end as quickly as it starts? And the Podcast begins with a quick reflection on Phil Foden's hat-trick in Manchester City's 3-1 victory at Brentford Today on Patreon: UCL Fantasy Last 16 Preview and Twitter Stories Tomorrow on Planet FPL: Planet SkyFF s5 ep31 For the full Planet FPL schedule this week, including our offering on Patreon view this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/97881178 Want to become a member of our FPL and SkyFF community and support the Podcast?
