Qatar was awarded the World cup in 2010. Evidence that has emerged since then suggests very strongly indeed that the award was rigged. One suggestion among many is that al-Jazeera (since then renamed beIN Sports) had signed a TV contract that included a $100m fee to be paid to Fifa if […]

The football industry, which consists of the clubs, the players, the non-playing staff, and the businesses and industry that get an economic boost from it, want football back, because it’s their living, their way of life, and in many cases, it makes a profit. By and large the fans want it […]

I just got a post on my phone titled Big Topic Discussion: “What an ideal transfer windows for Arsenal will look like?” It’s not too hard to translate it into grammatical English however, so we can get the rough idea of what they wanted to talk about.
This statement came from AFC […]

Slowly it has been realised: the clubs across Europe owe around £4.5bn in transfer fees.
Of course in one way it can be said that that is not a crisis since everyone owes everyone else, so if A pays B then B pays C etc and […]

So this is where we’ve got to.
1: By and large the players in the Premier League, following the lead of their union, are refusing to take pay cuts. Some very public players in Europe are taking pay cuts.
2: Clubs are laying off lesser paid staff, and telling them they will […]

I must be transparent. I do not live in the UK, I am of German and Swiss descent, work in France and Switzerland, and have lived in quite a few countries so far in my life.
Some of the countries are rich, some are poor. So my vision may be a galaxy […]
Premier League: The best bromances of the league
For centuries, football has always gathered millions of fans around the world regardless of race or religion. However, apart from this solidarity around football fans, it also happens that links are formed between players of the same team.

There are two ways to imagine football as and when the current crisis is all over.
One is that everything picks up from where it left off, with the same competitions, the same number of games, the same financial situation, the same funding etc. The other is that this crisis will cause […]

As you may have heard, the UK in general and England in particular has gone its own way in dealing with the coronavirus crisis.
And inevitably that has meant a certain amount of uncertainty and worry about what Britain is doing, and what effect it will have.
Now that […]

In the last set of figures presented via annual accounts, the 20 clubs in the Premier League were shown to have a turnover of £4.827 bn. Which is quite a lot of money.
Their wages bill was just over half that. 58% to be (more or less) exact.

I am shocked, amazed, stunned, bemused.
For 12 years we have been plodding away, writing up the notion that the reporting of football is warped by the media to suit their own needs and ends, and those of their powerful allies.
Among the many examples found are those suggesting that key stories […]

It is interesting to see The Athletic in a current article taking an interest in AFTV, and recognising (perhaps a little late in the day) that not everyone who claims to be an Arsenal supporter actually likes AFTV. But I do find it a little frustrating that articles like this are presented […]
