    The Rise of Multi-Club Ownership: My FIFA Legal Talk

    In this episode, I dive into the world of multi-club ownership (MCO) and multi-club investment (MCI) — a topic I’ve been fascinated by ever since writing my first ever journal article on it back in 2003. As someone who works closely with club owners, players and agents, I’ve seen how the rise of MCO is challenging the way football operates, both on and off the pitch. I share my thoughts on: ⚖️ Why UEFA and FIFA are increasingly concerned about integrity and influence 🌍 The global MCO boom: US investors, the Saudi strategy, and everything in between ♀️ The growing MCO movement in the women’s game – and why it matters ⚽️ Real-world case studies including City Football Group, RedBird, INEOS and Monarch ⏳ How temporary fixes (like blind trusts) are papering over long-term regulatory cracks 💸 What might be coming next – including players negotiating for equity in clubs

    Are Boot Deals Worth it For Female Players?

    In this episode, Jonny Madill, Zoe Bennett and I dive into the world of boot deals for female footballers, exploring whether they are truly beneficial for players in the modern game. As women’s football continues to rise, so do commercial opportunities, but are the restrictions imposed by major boot brands like Nike, Adidas, and Puma limiting players’ ability to capitalize on wider brand partnerships? We break down how boot deals go beyond just wearing a specific brand’s boots and extend into broader lifestyle, fashion, and entertainment categories, creating conflicts with other potential sponsorships. With many elite female footballers now making a significant portion of their income from off-field endorsements, is the exclusivity of a boot deal worth the trade-offs? Tune in as we discuss the legal and commercial considerations, the rise of female-focused brands, and how agents can help players navigate the complexities of modern endorsement deals to maximise their earning potential.

    The Build the Invisible Documentary: Put yourself on the path to the career you've always wanted.

    📚 + ⏳ + 🧠 + 🎯 = 📈 The idea for the 'Build the Invisible' documentary was to translate my book into a more visual narrative. With the expert help of Ashli Moses, the founder of Carcosa Film, we explored the concept of building 'invisible foundations' — a vital, yet often overlooked, metaphor for nurturing personal skills and development as the cornerstone for long-term career success. The documentary addresses key questions faced by those aspiring to make their mark in their chosen industries. The aim was to provide pragmatic insights into standing out in a competitive environment, effective communication and navigating professional challenges. Interwoven with the narrative is the 'Build the Invisible Journal,' a practical complement to the book, designed to help readers and viewers translate theory into practice. This tool is aimed at supporting individuals, from students to professionals seeking a career pivot, wanting a side hustle or just doing more of the thing they love. The documentary aims to blend a touch of wisdom with guidance and practical strategy. This documentary, now available on YouTube, will hopefully offer a valuable perspective for those wanting to make their ideal career a reality. Change the trajectory of your life. Put yourself on the path to the career you've always wanted.
