Football club owners can be illusive & tow the party line. But Charlie Methven is not your typical owner. On this week’s Business of Sport, we gain unique & unfiltered insight into the reality of running a club outside of the English top-flight. Through his experiences at both Sunderland AFC & Charlton Athletic Football Club, Charlie offers us a window into the inner workings & struggles that these clubs face on a daily basis. 🎥 How Sunderland 'Til I Die inspired Welcome to Wrexham The concept of a behind the scenes football documentary is now much more common-place, but Sunderland ‘Til I Die was a trailblazer. It inspired a new type of sports documentary. Success is great to watch, but so is reality. If it’s not perfect, don’t make it so. Did the show really inspire Welcome to Wrexham…? 👀 🗑️ The FA’s fatal mistake when it comes to women’s football The franchise structure has been continuously embraced in US sport to great success, and the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL) is the latest in a long line of pioneering closed leagues. Closed isn’t always bad. Women’s football in the UK had the very same opportunity, which Charlie passionately believes is one the FA has squandered. Why? 🏆 Which is the best run club in football? The modern football club is no longer judged purely by their trophy cabinet or league record, but also by their ability to run as an effective business. There are many strong contenders in this space now, but there are also plenty of teams who have been completely mismanaged through negligent ownership. But who’s nailed it?? The Premier League is the pinnacle; what about the 72 below? All on Business of Sport 👇 (links in comments) #SportBusiness #EFL #Football #FootballBusiness
