Billionaire owners versus German fan power
from Shoulder Roll Virtual Boxing · host Gregory Abdur-Rasheed
The landscape of modern football is defined by a profound ideological schism. On one side, the German Bundesliga offers a "clean" aesthetic—a league rooted in community access, boasting the highest average attendances in world football and ironclad financial stability. On the other, the English Premier League operates as a high-stakes, high-debt drama. Despite a record-breaking broadcast deal for the 2025–2028 cycle worth £12.25 billion (of which the domestic portion alone accounts for £6.7 billion), the English game is trapped in a "famine at a feast." While revenues soar, 85% of clubs in the top four divisions are loss-making, with aggregate losses hitting £1.2 billion in the 2022/23 season.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/shoulder-roll-virtual-boxing--6207307/support.This episode includes AI-generated content.
