Summary

Dave Powell is joined by sports lawyer, author and Reds fan Daniel Geey for the latest edition of The Bottom Line podcast – the podcast which goes in-depth on football finances... and Liverpool Football Club’s particular. The main topic of debate is the multi-club model operated by the likes of Manchester City and the Red Bull group – and with FSG having done a £530m deal with Gerry Cardinale’s RedBird Capital Partners, it now seems Liverpool are set to follow suit. But what are the benefits and what are the headaches of owning a stable of clubs across the globe? Daniel goes into detail about that before focusing on the Premier League new television rights deal and what could happen when it runs out in 2025. There’s also a look at the example of returning Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi and the fascinating thing to look out for in this summer’s transfer window.
