About this listen
Chapter 1 – Ownership Models & Ultimate Power
Core question:Who ultimately holds power in a football club, and why does that override everything else?
Episode 6 - Corporate Groups and Holding Structures
In this episode we unpack corporate groups and holding structures in modern football, where the club is no longer the top of its own pyramid. We explore how “vertical control” works, why a holding doesn’t need multiple football clubs to behave like one, and how group-level boards, budgets, and risk tolerance quietly reshape sporting decisions. A deep look at power as architecture: stability and professionalisation on one side, loss of autonomy and identity tension on the other, ending with one question: can a club keep its meaning when authority sits above it?
