  • 25 Years of the Premier League
    Celebrating 25 years of the Premier League Introduction by John Fendley Getting Away With It Scarborough; nineteen eighty something. The ‘80’s kind of rolled into one for me until ‘89. For arguments sake let’s go with 82’. 8PM and I’m closing the kitchen door so I can listen to the second half of Liverpool’s latest foray into Europe. Back then you couldn’t watch. Listening was the only option; and for some reason you only got the second half. Don’t get me wrong, it was brilliant, I loved football on the radio, still do. If I’m lucky, the goals might be on Sportsnight. If not I’ll use my imagination. Point being - that football on TV back 03 in the greyties was in short shrift. Scarborough 1994. Monday Night and I’m round at my mate’s. For the record, the fact his dad has got Sky Sports is only a small contributing factor in our friendship. He’s a good lad. But back then “the dish” was a game changer. It wasn’t the norm. How many people do you know who’ve got an electric car? Thought not. Same question but change the car to a Sky Sports subscription – guarantee that in most homes not many hands would have gone up. If I’d had a set top box back then I would probably have added that information to my CV. Back to the football. Liverpool 3-3 United. This Monday Night Football could catch on. London 1996. Two years later and I am standing in the Sky Sports Canteen.

  • Community Ownership of Football Clubs 18
    These Clubs are Ours Putting football into community hands A report prepared for Power to Change Peter Starkings and Will Brett April 2021 Contents Foreword 3 Executive summary 4 Chapter 1: Football clubs as community assets 7 Chapter 2: The dire state of football finances 12 Chapter 3: Community ownership of football clubs 18 Chapter 4: The politics of football 35 Chapter 5: Our recommendations 39 Conclusion 44 Appendix 46 2 Foreword, by Vidhya Alakeson, Chief Executive, Power to Change As a child growing up in Wimbledon, I remember the excitement felt by the entire town when the crazy gang of Vinnie Jones, Dennis Wise and Dave Beasant won the FA Cup in 1988. The parade through the town centre was like nothing our small suburban bit of London had ever seen. Years later, Plough Lane, the site of that famous victory, lay empty; the team ripped out of the town and shipped off to Milton Keynes. Now, the stadium is flats and I find myself living not far from the home of AFC Wimbledon, the club reborn to take on the name of the town once more. This story from my childhood is just one example of how football as a business has come to dominate the business of football. Last week’s announcement of a proposed European Super League was a much more dramatic illustration of the same thing. You only need to look at the financial vulnerability of many clubs in the lower leagues to see the deep structural problem created by a business-first approach to managing football clubs.
