Show: Goal Own Goal

From the boardroom to the locker rooms, sport catches imagination like little else. In this podcast we talk to the men and women, who make the big decisions and those who make the big plays to find where sport is; and, importantly, where it is going. We do so, for the only eyes that matter: those of the fan!

Season 8 Episode 33. This week’s Goal Own Goal opens with spies, museums memes, and the Atlanta Falcons discovering that even a bird can be ruined by a rebrand, before turning to the serious business of football’s financial death spiral. Grant and Roger take aim at private equity’s “smart money” sales pitch, private debt secured against footballers, and an industry determined to invent new collateral rather than admit the old model is broken, while golf provides a welcome glimpse of actual jeopardy as Eddie Pepperell fights for his card and LIV begins shedding the stars who thought they had escaped the consequences of meritocracy.
