In this episode, football finance expert Kieran Maguire joins The Long-Short to unpack the economics of the global game: where investors find alpha, the true financial cost of relegation from the Premier League, the rise of multi-club ownership, regulation, valuations, and why capital keeps flowing into the world’s most popular sport.   Hosted on Acast.
