    Meet Hull City's Acun Ilıcalı - The Premier League’s most UNUSUAL owner!

    The story of Hull City owner Acun Ilicali is one of the most extraordinary in the Premier League. TV star turned media mogul turned football club owner, Acun is a force of nature — and in this special episode of The Sports Agents, Gabby Logan and Mark Chapman meet the man himself, live and direct from Istanbul. This is the story of a man who lost his parents in a tragic car accident, saw his marriage collapse, faced financial ruin in his early twenties — and somehow emerged to create a global media empire. Acun tells us about the energy of the people which drew him to Hull City, how he inherited a club divided from its supporters, and how he set about rebuilding that bond. It’s been a wild ride for Acun & Hull City, from surviving relegation to League One on goal difference to winning promotion to the top tier and upsetting the Premier League’s big boys - expect passion, energy and the ultimate underdog story in this very special episode of The Sports Agents. 📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7 🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod 📱Follow us on socials: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagents Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/ X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod 📥 Email: thesportsagents@global.com 💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6 Executive Producer: Adonis Pratsides Senior Producer: David Finch Video Producer: Sam Trudgill Social Media Editor: Jasmine Wissart Tom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast network Vicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents". 👕 The Sports Agents have merch!

    Has VAR 'fury' PEAKED & Did CHAOS mask Man United mess?

    VAR 'fury' felt like it may have finally peaked this weekend... A Manchester derby dogged by refereeing controversy just 24 hours after Mikel Arteta gave 'Pro Ref' both barrels after Arsenal’s win against Sunderland on a weekend when Premier League refereeing seemed to be in crisis. Gabby, Mark & Nedum get into the fallout from the latest VAR disaster and also look at the problems facing Man United after their defeat to 10 man Man City left Michael Carrick’s side with just four points from four games. There’s also athletics after ‘The ultimate’ World Championships saw most British athletes not named Josh Kerr come up short - and Gabby weighs in on Sydney Sweeney's highly controversial sports gambling advert after female athletes at this weekend's Ultimate Championships showed everyone "what women in sport look like". 📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7 🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod 📱Follow us on socials: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagents Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/ X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod 📥 Email: thesportsagents@global.com 💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6 Executive Producer: Adonis Pratsides Senior Producer: David Finch Video Producer: Sam Trudgill Social Media Editor: Jasmine Wissart Tom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast network Vicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents". 👕 The Sports Agents have merch!

    Why I TURNED DOWN Chelsea & Owe Mikel Arteta EVERYTHING! | Granit Xhaka Exclusive

    In this special bonus interview on The Sports Agents, Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka joins Mark & Nedum to reflect on a remarkable first season back in the Premier League as they prepare to face his old club, Arsenal & return to European competition for the first time in 52 years this week. Granit reflects on *that* moment in 2019 when he was booed off by his own supporters in North London - and Mikel Arteta's crucial role in a redemption story that took him to Germany where he became a Champion with Bayer Leverkusen. Whether he had mixed feelings seeing Arsenal lift the title in May and how close he really came to leaving Sunderland this summer to reunite with Xabi Alonso at Chelsea. Plus, if coaching is in his future, what good dressing room culture actually looks like and if leaders are born or made? 📩 Got a question for The Sports Agents? https://forms.gle/9SBbW1SYWqXLKnRT7 🖥️ Watch our full episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@SportsAgentsPod 📱Follow us on socials: TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@thesportsagents Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesportsagents/ X - https://x.com/sportsagentspod 📥 Email: thesportsagents@global.com 💭 Take our listener survey: https://forms.gle/YMUvajQktqBuimgh6 Executive Producer: Adonis Pratsides Senior Producer: David Finch Video Producer: Sam Trudgill Social Media Editor: Jasmine Wissart Tom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast network Vicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for Global You can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents". 👕 The Sports Agents have merch!

    The REASON so many boxers take PEDs? | Garcia x Benn

    Conor Benn’s super fight against Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas has brought the issue of Performance Enhancing Drugs in sport back into the spotlight. While both boxers deny ever having taken PEDs, both have failed drugs tests and it remains a complex and emotive issue, particularly in potentially lethal sports such as boxing. On this episode of The Sports Agents we have the whole conversation and not just the convenient parts of it... Larry Olubamiwo was a British heavyweight contender before he failed a drugs test and he became a pariah. Larry joins Mark & Nedum to talk about why he chose to use PEDs, how he got away with it for so long and why he wouldn’t change a thing. Boxing journalist Tris Dixon joins the conversation as the guys reflect on why boxers who fail tests continue to be rewarded with million-dollar purses?

    Arteta & Alonso's PRETEND Premier League rivalry?

    Mikel Arteta’s managerial rivalry with Xabi Alonso got off to a pulsating start as Arsenal edged Chelsea in a thriller at the Emirates. Is this the opening salvo in a new managerial rivalry which will light up the Premier League for years to come? Are Arteta & Alonso a younger, better looking version of Fergie & Wenger? Well no. Not according to Nedum Onuoha. On this episode of The Sports Agents Gabby, Mark, & Nedum asses the title credentials of Chelsea and Arsenal while Nedum reveals why the Alonso x Arteta rivalry needs a bit more time to cook and why Mikel Arteta might not be hanging around North London for too much longer anyway...

    'Dear Katie, How FAR we've come!'... Katie Taylor’s FAIRYTALE HOMECOMING

    Not long ago, women’s boxing was a different sport. Banned in most countries and ridiculed in the rest, female fighters fought in the shadows. Until one night in 1996. That night Deirdre Gogarty, a painfully shy Irish woman and Christy Martin, a raging knockout artist from the coalfields of West Virginia spent 12 unforgettable minutes in each other's company and changed everything. Their fight put women’s boxing on the map and it was the fight that inspired boxing icon Katie Taylor to pursue her dream. As Katie Taylor prepares to bring the curtain down on her incredible career, Gabby & Mark are joined by her hero, Deirdre Gogarty to tell the story of the rise of women’s boxing - a fight for recognition which takes us from pub car parks and basement bars to Croke Park and 80,000 adoring fans.

    As we enter the final day of the summer transfer window, Everton fans had threatened to “riot” if their club sold local academy graduate Harrison Armstrong... Ultimately the club’s billionaire owners bowed to the backlash and were forced into a U-turn, Armstrong will stay at his boyhood club, but at what cost? Gabby, Mark & Nedum discuss fan power and whether or not a club's supporters should be able to dictate a player’s career or influence who their club buys and sells?
