from The Soccer Business Podcast · host The Soccer Business

Multi Club Ownership (MCO) is in the news because of the situation involving Crystal Palace and Lyon who are both owned by American John Textor. UEFA is currently evaluating how to proceed given that both clubs qualified for the Europa League for next season and regulations forbid two teams with the same owner from playing in the same competition. Brian Anderson of Sheppard Mullin in Los Angeles has deep knowledge of MCO set-ups and he joins the podcast to go over the issues. Brian also digs into the pros and cons of MCO in general and we look at how the model might work better for the women's game.
