from The Daniel Geey Podcast · host Daniel Geey

In this episode, I dive into the world of multi-club ownership (MCO) and multi-club investment (MCI) — a topic I’ve been fascinated by ever since writing my first ever journal article on it back in 2003.As someone who works closely with club owners, players and agents, I’ve seen how the rise of MCO is challenging the way football operates, both on and off the pitch.I share my thoughts on:⚖️ Why UEFA and FIFA are increasingly concerned about integrity and influence🌍 The global MCO boom: US investors, the Saudi strategy, and everything in between♀️ The growing MCO movement in the women’s game – and why it matters⚽️ Real-world case studies including City Football Group, RedBird, INEOS and Monarch ⏳ How temporary fixes (like blind trusts) are papering over long-term regulatory cracks💸 What might be coming next – including players negotiating for equity in clubs
