Show Notes

When football meets finance, the real story often sits behind the headlines. In this episode, Stefan Borson takes us inside the financial reality of the Premier League, from Everton's point deduction to the ongoing Manchester City case and what a “win” actually means for the league.

Drawing on his background advising clubs and now analysing them from the outside, Stefan breaks down the decisions, loopholes, and pressures shaping modern football. He explains why owners lose rationality, how clubs can lose tens of millions even when they succeed, and why some of the biggest teams in the world may ultimately become unsellable.
