Manchester United have lost their status as the world’s richest club after Real Madrid replaced them at the top of Deloitte’s Football Money League.

January 23, 2019

Tottenham’s emergence as one of Europe’s growing powers is paying dividends off the field, with the club now placed among the top 10 richest football clubs in the world.

Trevor Steven: Wolves have Nuno Espirito Santo and super-agent Jorge Mendes to thank for their successful return to the Premier League

January 22, 2019

Wolves are having a tremendous first season back in the Premier League. Currently eighth in the table and, with just 23 games gone, already nearing a points tally that should end any lingering worries about relegation; they have taken the momentum of their promotion campaign and maintained it in the top flight. Their impressive manager [...]
Why have Premier League clubs made so few signings in the January 2019 transfer window?

January 21, 2019

On the field, the action continues to come thick and fast in the Premier League. Liverpool and Manchester City remain locked in a title race of the highest quality, there are compelling battles both to finish in the top four and to avoid relegation, and the most recent round of fixtures saw not one but [...]
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has chosen a dangerous time to gamble on his criticism provoking a positive reaction

January 20, 2019

Conventional wisdom dictates that football managers shouldn’t criticise their players in public. Point out their flaws, tear strips off them and give them the hairdryer treatment behind closed doors, but in front of the cameras it’s generally regarded as counter-productive.

Tickets are like gold dust, those who manage to buy them flock from across continental Europe to London just for the privilege, and celebrities clamour to be courtside. By most metrics, the NBA’s annual regular-season game at the O2 is a resounding success. This year’s match, which sees the New York Knicks take on the [...]
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a perfect fit for the Manchester United job and has given the club a decision to make

January 15, 2019

Less than month ago Manchester United were a dysfunctional club, with a team susceptible to being turned over and a manager who had lost the dressing room. Now, under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, they have been galvanised, their collective spirit is back and, with six wins from six games, they are an opponent to be feared [...]
Big brands doing big deals show the UK sports sponsorship industry remains in rude health

January 14, 2019

January is typically the time to look forward, to forecast and predict what will happen in the coming year. To understand the state of the UK sponsorship industry, however, it’s more worthwhile to look at what happened in the months leading up to Christmas. Rewind to the week after Black Friday in December and big [...]
Arsenal’s slump in form is making Unai Emery’s omission of Mesut Ozil harder to justify

January 13, 2019

Nothing fortifies a manager’s decision-making like wins, and when you are on a long unbeaten run you can do much as you please. Change formations week to week? Sure. Leave it late to take the points? No problem; never in doubt. Freeze out the club’s top earner, indeed one of the best paid players in [...]
Sport and betting: Why Brexit could pave the way for a wider levy, the role of live data rights, and how the $5bn US market can change the game

January 7, 2019

The UK betting industry’s voluntary “whistle-to-whistle” advertising ban during live sports coverage has been widely welcomed but broadcasters – and, by extension, the media rights fees they pay to sport – will take a hit and some sports, such as horse racing, are deemed to be so reliant on gambling that they are exempt from [...]
