A riff on PIF
Latest episode of The Football Boardroom - from Gareth Southgate’s new 1071 pod squad - sees Christian Purslow and I analysing almost five years of Newcastle United under Saudi ownership. The good, the bad and the PSR. Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for the comments on the show so far.
Another great episode and another question from myself
Do you believe that PSR/FFP are needed in the modern game?
When they were brought in 15 or so years ago it made sense in that Portsmouth nearly imploded monumentally and there was still the hangover to an extent of the ITV Digital collapse further down the pyramid.
We are now however at a stage whereby Sovereign States are owning football clubs, whether people agree or disagree with that, that is for another day but surely as a result of that and private individuals getting richer, is there a requirement for it in the modern game?
