But why? This was also the week where Manchester United released their accounts, showing record revenues, but there is much more to the story than that. Clearlake have now really got the keys to Chelsea, albeit at a price which seems hard to justify based on, well, everything that the club has done in the last few years. Add to all this a look at whether Eddie Hearn really could transform rugby into the powerhouse he believes the sport should be, and why the WTA have been allowed to flutter away a major cash injection from CVC, and we have ourselves a breakdown. ---------------------------------------------------- Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 02:52 - Is The Premier League Entering Its Most Entertaining Era? 06:48 - Tottenham’s Biggest Problem Goes Far Beyond Spending 18:23 - Manchester United’s Finances: The Billion-Pound Cost Of The Glazers 25:24 - Jim Ratcliffe’s Manchester United Rebuild: Why It’s Taking So Long 31:27 - Chelsea’s £5 Billion Valuation: Why Clearlake Paid Over The Odds 45:56 - Eddie Hearn’s Rugby Takeover: Can He Transform The Sport? 01:03:14 - The WTA’s Financial Future: Can Women’s Tennis Sustain Its Player Payments? ---------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.
