  • Leyton Orient happy to lose money and keep bars closed if to means getting fans back through turnstiles

    November 25, 2020

    Leyton Orient chief executive Danny Macklin says the football club is happy to lose money in order to get fans back into their stadium.

  • Cover story: How the Premier League ‘wrapped’ every stadium and hid the empty seats

    November 20, 2020

    Football fans will by now be familiar with Premier League “stadium wraps” or “seat kills”, even if they don’t recognise the terminology. The vast seat coverings, typically emblazoned with club colours and slogans, have provided a backdrop to the action since English football returned to empty grounds in June. But who makes these displays and [...]

  • The Week in Sportbiz: Cricket meets hip-hop; Germany exports VAR; and the ‘Yes Sir, I Can Boogie’ goes global

    November 19, 2020

    Cricket and hip-hop aren’t obvious bedfellows but they cosied up this week when South Africa fast bowler Lungi Ngidi joined Jay-Z’s talent stable Roc Nation.  Ngidi, South Africa’s player of the year in one-day and T20 internationals, is the first cricketer to sign with Roc Nation Sports.  Roc Nation has snapped up mostly American athletes, [...]

  • Ryan Reynolds confirms Wrexham takeover with spoof advert for Welsh trailer company

    November 16, 2020

    In a plot that even Hollywood might deem far-fetched, actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are buying fifth-tier football club Wrexham AFC. The pair have been given the green light to complete a takeover following a vote of the Wrexham Supporters’ Trust, which owns the club. Reynolds and McElhenney marked the news by posting a [...]

  • The Week in Sportbiz: Big W for W Series; United show FA the way; Tour de Yorkshire; British Cycling; and Uefa

    November 12, 2020

    Women’s sport has been among the hardest hit by the pandemic but it received a boost today from the W Series. The women-only single-seater racing championship is to stage eight races on the same bill as Formula 1 grands prix next year. “There is no doubt that our global reach, impact and influence will be [...]

  • FA chairman Greg Clarke quits after sparking racism row with ‘coloured footballers’ comment

    November 10, 2020

    Football Association chairman Greg Clarke has stepped down after attracting widespread criticism for referring to “coloured footballers”. Clarke made the remarks during a gaffe-laden appearance before MPs at a select committee hearing this morning. He attracted further derision for suggesting Asians and Afro-Caribbeans had “different career interests” and that homosexuality was “a life choice”. Clarke [...]

  • Five substitutions and fixture congestion: Won’t somebody think of the rich Premier League superclubs?

    November 9, 2020

    It was a good weekend for sales of tiny violins in football’s moneyed north-west heartlands, as familiar debates about five substitutes and fixture scheduling bobbed to the surface. On Sunday, Pep Guardiola revealed he and Jurgen Klopp enjoyed a touchline grumble about the cap on mid-game changes after Manchester City and Liverpool’s draw. Twenty-four hours [...]

  • The Week In Sportbiz: Premier League set to axe pay-per-view (for now), Formula E gets cosier with Extreme E, and Gosper gives US his World Cup vote

    November 6, 2020

    Less than a month after its introduction, Premier League clubs are expected to ditch their unpopular pay-per-view service. Since debuting on 17 October, half of all games have been restricted to those willing to pay £14.95 a time. Fans groups protested the extra charges by successfully urging people to donate thousands of pounds to food [...]

A Department for Culture, Media and Sport select committee wants to quiz Richard Masters, Rick Parry and Greg Clarke next week. The session is focused on a failure to agree a rescue package for clubs outside the [...]

  • Marcus Rashford and the new player power: it won’t be long until clubs and sponsors put a price on it

    November 4, 2020

    Just when you think that 2020 can’t throw up any more surprises, Marcus Rashford, a 23-year-old footballer, becomes the government’s loudest source of opposition.  At the time of writing there’s been no U-turn on extending the provision of free school meals when faced by Rashford’s campaign. But by generating support and sentiment through his 3.7m [...]
