Great people, vision, dedication and resources.

Just some of the ingredients needed for success.

I got excited by Womens Sports- and Football in particular - back when i was introduced to it ahead of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.

The love affair has not ended and i have been an active Advisor and Supporter to Mercury 13 as part of that journey.

The news that the Sports Funds at Avenue Capital has invested is just one more step along the way.

The Rocket Ship is fueled for takeoff.

Episode 45 - The Sinking of ESPN BET 4:32

منذ 7 أيام4:32

4:32

Who could have imagined it? An amazing name synonymous with Sports...the literal home of sports with a brand that is strong, instantly recognizable and trusted. The rise of betting in the USA with the federal deregulation and the market now worth over $6bn, with a gross revenue of over $40bn annually, growing at 12% CAGR. Surely the combination of these two things is a no-brainer. Yet many, including myself, didn't believe it would work. It's not that the concept isn't entirely logical and persuasive, it's just that we have seen it before and seen how hard it is to make work. Time isn't up for ESPN Bet on the Penn platform but its entirely unsurprising commentators are now openly stating it in the media. History doesn't repeat - but it's re-runs are very similar! Let's see if ESPN thinks that bringing it in house as part of their new product launch this year becomes a thing.…

Episode 44 - The Shift to Streaming 5:45

منذ 11 يومًا5:45

5:45

Loved the Evan Shapiro report this past week, but why is everyone so surprised that YouTube is so successful? That's the biggest confusion i have this year. I'm also interested in understanding what are the future implications of Streamers (who are primarily PayTV in a digital world), increasingly becoming advertising focused...given historically the importance of Sports in attracting audiences and advertising revenues... It's not a straight line the next 5 years in the media world - and anyone who claims to know the future is BS'ing you! But i doe believe Sports will still be central to the changes that come.…

LIV has lost $5bn if you believe the reports, and have a long way to go if a merger doesn't happen back with the PGA. Can a new Basketball League - that doesn't apparently compete with the NBA - really take off, given it couldn't play long in the USA, couldn't take their stars on that basis...and could it provide a return to investors? There are some great examples of new upstart leagues that can do well, which have a clear market strategy and community that they can target and connect with. So new leagues from Baller to Crossfit and Hyrox to a potential emerging Rugby league to me have promise. $5bn for a new Basketball League? Doesn't sound like enough...…

Episode 42 - Revenue is Vanity 5:25

منذ 29 يومًا5:25

5:25

It's a cliche, I know. Yet, it's often repeated because its accurate. I love the Deloitte Money League. I read it every year and have fun with it...but if it gives a cause for concern its because we judge clubs by their revenue. The biggest concern I have with Women's Football? That they copy the economic model of the Men's game. Why? You don't need to look further than the profit line in football for that answer. And if Profit is Sanity... where are we today? As i point out in here there are some conundrums to solve, to collective bargaining to be done but if you can tap into what Formula 1 has done (not what you think) then perhaps the future is brighter than even I think. PS - If Cash is King, listen to the end...because the current solution to cash is there.…

Episode 41 - Damn Lies and Statistics 5:47

منذ 5 weeks5:47

5:47

I love the hot-take. We live in a world of it, and the headlines are great. Yet to take serious action you need to look beyond the surface. We have become obsessed in sports with metrics that give us either a false sense of security or are portents of doom. Today I discuss TV Ratings, the NFL and the lack of Digital understanding. I am not a believer in Zero Sum, but in a changing world. TV numbers are important...and were once the only metric to judge on. BUT when we look at the modern world, using this old world metric in isolation - which is done a lot - we are missing the real picture, and that's a mistake.…

Netflix is killing it. So much so that as it puts prices up to justify more content it is distributing $15bn back to shareholders. To me though, what they really get right is understanding the need for Glue. It's not just about big events or getting into sports, its about making sure that when they come there are reasons to stay. Amazon is the same. Go to make a purchase and they keep you there with other offers. Alibaba is similar. Sports Specific 'Plus' products... not so much. They all look the same. Few have come together to provide interesting live or original programming. And they are all missing the Glue... #sportsbiz #content #football #business #netflix #media…

Episode 39 - It's about culture 5:42

منذ 8 weeks5:42

5:42

Sport is pretty unique. When running due diligence we all obsess about the numbers, we think about business, returns, profiles and legal contracts. But the raw product on the field matters, and if you don't under stand the culture of a club - in the Front Office, Boot Room, Training Ground - and yes the fan culture too - then you are in trouble. No-one buys a sports team with bad intentions, no-one aims for a 'bad culture' but it's harder to figure out than it might seem. But the results if you get it right...?…

Episode 38 - Define a Good Football Club Owner 5:29

منذ 8 weeks5:29

5:29

What is a good owner? I don't think its very difficult to show a bad owner, but are there any good owners? Certainly as fans look at it...rarely! Think Fenway Sport at Liverpool, turned around the club, won the title, the champions league, good manager appointments, good squad, redeveloped Anfield but a moment of madness and attacked. In this episode i look at two clubs where on paper the owners have done everything you think would be defined as both the right thing and what fans want... but yet they are disliked if not reviled and wanted out. What do you think makes for a good owner?…

Nothing like a merger to kick the year off... Maybe we should have seen this coming but ending an anti-trust lawsuit with a merger is an interesting new angle to things. Almost 'bernie-esque'. What's for sure is that ESPN (and by that also Disney) is now going all in on the streaming product. If this is the start of the year this one is going to be a lively one... Happy New Year!…

Episode 35 - Big Ange & Start Ups 3:16

منذ 13 weeks3:16

3:16

Big Ange - what's not to love. Confidence, attacking football a belief in doing things your own way. Similar to what i see in most start up founders. At the highest level though you need to be cognizant of what your competition are doing - or more importantly what the market perceives them to be doing. Leaving Cole Palmer unmarked and in acres of space makes no sense. Ignoring competitors and both the opportunities and threats they represent makes no sense either. Not every company out there you are taking on is useless...and a slide showing they are doesn't convince investors who will be digging deeper. Be confident, focus on what you are doing and where you are headed, but be actively watching the competition or you may not last long enough to make your dreams come true.…

Episode 34 - College Revolution 3:38

منذ 13 weeks3:38

3:38

Hold on to you hats, things are getting interesting. Are the NFL worried about what is going on? No not the changing media landscape - the NFL seems to have that one figured out better than anyone, but the revolution that is taking place in College Football. The joke used to be that the players 'went to college for an education', but its now very clearly a professional league. I ran out of time...as i just go to excited by it all. But here are some things I am trying to wrap my head around? Will there need to be salary cap soon? Do they have to attend class anymore? Will players want to go to NFL? How soon until the other sports are spun off as NCAA and FCS just incorporates a new professional league? Genuinely i think this is a case study we are going to watch play out in real time with Billions being banded about...…

Episode 33 - F1 Valuations 4:11

منذ 14 weeks4:11

4:11

What does Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat have to do with F1? Sportico recently released its F1 Valuations, the season close is coming this weekend and we seen the likes of Stroll buy an F1 team for c$90m and now raising money at a purported $1.5bn (despite all his investment in the team that's a great run!) What's the root cause of that increase - and yes scarcity is clearly one but in F1 that always been there. How have the teams reacted and have they done anything to protect those valuations when the likes of Drive to Survive naturally come to the end of their cycle... I remain positive on F1 but as i have discussed earlier this week i think there are more creative ways to generate and protect valuation.…

Episode 32 - Learning from an F1 Failure 3:02

منذ 14 weeks3:02

3:02

In 2020 I tried to buy a Formula 1 Team. There were two big lessons in that process. 1. Being early is hard... the difficulty in getting any potential investors to back a bit was amazing. We were consistently told it was a money pit, no chance of building valuation etc. That the new terms of the concorde agreement were known and Drive to Survive was bubbling away had zero impact. It's scant consolation that we have been proven right. 2. As we went through diligence and management presentations it was remarkable to find that every team effectively operated on the same commercial model. And when you looked at benchmarking you realised it was no different to the professional football clubs who also shared the same model... so if you are not Ferrari or Man Utd (or a true premium brand) then you are effectively competing on price and making yourself a commodity... which just makes no sense to me.…

Episode 31 - Sports teams are undervalued, but... 4:32

منذ 14 weeks4:32

4:32

Joe Ravitch in 2022 said that European Sports teams could double in value in 5 years. Many on the continent sneered... Personally, I agree with him, but the question I have is how can we get there. If the model in Europe is now Mature and no longer in a growth stage what needs to happen. If ticketing is yield management, media rights are flat and sponsorship is 6% CAGR at best then maybe a different approach is needed?…
