@@hamonryechinaski180 At times he does talks a lot of sense but your spot on. "Wide boy, who got lucky" sums him up perfectly. We live in a world of Fanboys where once they start to like someone like they not only become blind to their faults they'll kick and scream that they have none.
Villa fan. Proud that Purslow is our CEO. A very clever, experienced man. Always has a well-considered opinion given Villa are outside the 'Sky 6'. Talks a lot of sense.
Lmao when it comes to generating money, Woodward would make these clowns look like kids. Handling the business end of the club has never been a problem for Ed, it's the footballing decision making end, where he struggled badly.

@@conorwalsh2429 Just correcting him so he understands not everyone who talks confidently who speaks the truth. Also you sound like someone who cries alot. 😂
Have the players pay their agents like they do in the States. Sports teams in the U.S. don't pay agent fees, the player pays them from a portion of their salary, anywhere from 3-10%.
Problem is teams use agents to go through players on their book. Eg, if they have used agent before, they use "goodwill" for preferential treatment of future players from same agent. Agents get paid from both sides.
@@philwill0123 obviously with all the sports leagues in the US being closed shops, it's much easier to regulate. If the NFL sets rules for agents, it's not like those agents can take their client to another comparable league. Like when the EPL tried to unilaterally change the transfer window period, unless it's dicated by UEFA and everyone is on board, it's not going to change.
Why are these guys always talking about getting the Government involved in the Premier League? That's what they're talking about right? If so, get the Government as far away from Football as possible!! Let the PL handle that.
Agreed, Government shouldn’t be anywhere near it. Having said that, football clubs aren’t your typical private sector companies - they have a massive social responsibility. If they were ran more like social enterprise it would be a much more effective five model!
Have you not read the Crouch Report, that’s what they are discussing! Government involved because that was the catalyst to do a fans review of the game. The PL does need to look at a better distribution of funds, the majority of PL clubs not English owned, PL is amazingly successful but they are the big bully boys and some sort of regulation is required.
they also kick each other when they are on the counter attack and hold the ball in the corner of the pitch to try and waste time, its called gamesmanship and its part of all sports
A wage cap needs to be brought into to football especially in the Premier league. Agents need to be scrapped. Money saved from cutting player wages will lower gate prices and money also can go to grass roots football. Players do not need to earn the money they do. Its obscene.
@@Bwoii786 If Ronaldo was on 250k a week instead of 500k the interest would be the same still you can’t deny that. Now take other players wages away by 20/30 % and distribute amongst grass roots etc and it’s a massive amount of money doing good for the game.
@@cureit9161 Listen mate, I've been alive for 63 years, and I know a bull shitter when I hear one. If Villa were in the championship, he'd be saying the exact opposite. Ya can't pull the wool over these eyes.
Great CEO for us purslow speaks a lot of sense. Should be a once a month thing I where they get both him and Simon together. Great points made by both.
Fair play to Christian Purslow there isn't many if any other premier league club CEOs that would go on a live broadcast knowing they would be put under pressure and have to answer difficult questions, they usually just release press statements etc. He holds his own and comes across really well, i dont hold the same views as him however, there needs to be a reform to make thing more competitive. Imagine a premier league where say 10 plus teams could challenge for the title not just the clubs that are allowed to go into hundreds of million pounds of debt to win it.
You can see why Purslow was somebody who Gerard thought was bright enough to put your career in his hands. He makes a mockery of Simons tabloid headline, contrarian, 'brightest guy in the room' ten bob philosophies.
This whole argument was all cause by Gary Neville for calling out rich Premier League owners for past 18 mouths on our televisions. Jim White wearing the classic white & black referee colours, so Jordan & Purslow don't get their clobber claws out at eachother.
As a lpool fan I know my club could make a lot more selling their own TV rights so I get both sides. Smaller clubs in the epl are being rewarded tons of money when they sell nowhere near the games live for tv, but I also agree we need to look after the whole of football and its rich history, it needs changing fast.
I take your point but who chooses the TV games? We allow Sky and BT an easy hand to cash in on higher audiences at the detriment of 'smaller clubs in the epl'. It's no wonder there are so many plastic fans around. What's the ridiculous stat of the number of years every FA Cup game featuring Man U has been broadcast live? It's the TV companies not the clubs that have created the monster.
Simon had to keep paying deference to Purslow as he wouldn’t let him grandstand on his calculated answers. It was funny watching him fall on his sword and bloody up his clobber. Wasn’t top dog, today.
Let’s be real the transfer fees of modern footballers does not reflect their quality. This is about ensuring the stability and survival of the football pyramid in this country.
Of course. You say "greed" like they are there to do charity, they are there to make money. Why would they be happy with losing money? If their profit go down, they will simply stop investing. As the new capital to the system dries up, then govt will have f all to distribute.
"Everything good in English football sits in the Premier league" (Christan Purslow) Only 5 out of the 20 clubs are English owned and only 36% of the players are English. As long as the Premier League are independent of any control from the FA, it is highly unlikely that the former will feel remotely inclined to compensate the EFL clubs for the success of what is their own private breakaway venture. (Exactly like the currently abandoned/postponed but inevitable coming of the ESL) Wage caps are essentially deducting agent fees at source and under European law cannot be imposed but have to be agreed by the players and their trade unions. Such a cap would only hasten the introduction of an ESL. Where the FA, EFL and Premier League need to pool their resources is in redistributing the huge cash sums that leave the game entirely and go into the pockets of billionaire player agents. An agreed mandatory percentage of these sums should be reinvested into the sport at grass roots level. Similarly, if clubs are fined for breaches of FFP regulations, these sums should also be reinvested in grassroots football.Mr Purslow applauds the initiative of Spain's La Liga in adopting the English Premier League's model of a more equitable share of TV broadcast monies throughout the league (even though practically all the cash is generated by just two clubs) yet at the same time objects to anything that smacks of a 'windfall tax' benefiting the have-nots? The hypocrisy is slapstick level comedic. Pity the Fit & Proper Person Test didn't exclude anyone soulless enough to foist the values and practices of the board room into the dressing room as that seems to be at the heart of most of football's putative problems
Yup - also takes two disparate pieces of information and transposes to a ridiculous assumptions for headlines - not just sensationalist, stupid! Do quite like his vigour sometimes mind 👊
A Total Joke - The Premier League fill's the small clubs pockets and dreams, what a joke We don't Need regulation Who the f is the government to get involved in our clubs. Stop paying high wages - problem solved
Half the players in the PL wouldn't be here if not for the high wages. We say its the best league in the world but most top players if given the choice want to play in Spain.
Texas just hoping other leagues will follow so the playing field levels back out, so PREM don't get all the money. He wud do that now Spanish teams r now behind us
Easy to solve. 1). All the EFL and Premier league TV revenue gets added up and pooled. League 2 clubs get 5% of it to share amongst themselves equally. Whatever that figure is their wage bill is not allowed to exceed it. League one clubs get 8% of the TV money shared equally and they aren’t allowed to have their wage bill exceed it. The championship sides share 12% and their wage bill can’t exceed that figure. Leaving 75% for the premier clubs to split as they do now. 2). Premier leagues clubs have a wage bill limit of £200m a year. They can exceed that limit if they wish but they then pay a 100% tax on everything paid to players over and above the £200m. This goes into a pot. 45% is given to grass roots. 5% goes to the PFA and the remaining 50% is divided equally amongst all the clubs who did not break the £200m limit. 3). All the clubs that earn European competition prize money have to pay 10% of it into the pot mentioned in point 2). This should help bring the bottom premier league clubs slightly closer to the big six and stop any EFL club going out of business. Whilst the big six would loose out they’d still be earning more from TV revenue than their big European rivals. After the attempted break a away super league and the new champions league format in the pipe line can anyone really argue with it. As for agents why not just pass a law saying they can only take a maximum 5% of any transfer fee and only 5% of any players wages? You could even have a maximum number of professionals per club. Of 50. So that super clubs can’t harvest up all best the under 23s. That way the lesser clubs keep them and get decent fees once they are first team ready
I like your thinking in general. Some element of revenue generation capability should perhaps be factored in when looking at spend on players wages perhaps
@@carlsworldofwisewords8907 with FFP now Lfc, utd, Chelsea and city can all legally afford £320-350m wage bills. Whilst everton and Leicester have come close to breaking the rules with only £140m a year wage bills. I don't think thats fair. Its a vicious circle if the big club's are allowed to spend £350m they will finish in the championship league and therefore be able to afford 360m next year, finish in the champions league again the following season and so on. Only state owned clubs can bridge the gap. And they ate enticed into the game precisely because they too will get keep all the champions league tv and prize money to themselves. Why not try and tax them? Bring the mid table clubs up to the £200m wage bill level and the tax will cause the big five or six clubs to reduce theres to 250-275m.. Making it possible for the other clubs to compete and have the odd seaon in the champions league themselves. Level it out so theres a big six, and another large eight. Rather than four giants, big spurs, big arsenal. And everyone else mediocre hoping for the odd seaon in the europa and a cup run. The fa cup leaves the big five about once every ten years. Why should same teams keep all the champions league revenue to themselves? Same way the prem should throw 25% down to the EFL. Maybe the champions league clubs should throw 10% down to the prem and efl?
@@alansmith3733 rather than taxing them, why not allow them to keep the profit but not spend it on wages… . i.e. Just have a straight wage cap that can be implemented across Europe? The better /more media savvy players could still earn more money through individual sponsorships and endorsements but they wouldn’t be so heavily geared to only a select few clubs in terms of choosing where they play football based on who pays them more! More of a meritocracy all round!
@@carlsworldofwisewords8907 totally agree with you but I was thinking that the top clubs would only agree to a cap that is double most clubs could afford. And a tax system allows extra money to flow down the pyramid. A cap of £120m everyonr could affird in the prem is a third of what utd, lfc and city currently pay
People want to see man City vs Chelsea not forrest green vs Sutton,that's why Premier league gets more t.v money. All clubs are privately owned & if an owner can't run the club with in it's means & go bust that's their problem why should an owner of the Premier league team lose money because they can't run their club right & anyone who's says we'll it's the Premier league not the teams giving the money if the Premier league give away the money how are they going to do that? By paying the teams less that's how. Efl want better t.v deals that the people that run the efl need to negotiate better deals.
Got rid of the 2 cowboys at liverpool got rid of Bruce hired Smith after he sadly couldn't do any more hired Gerrard to take Villa on to another level hopefully, obviously don't agree with everything he says and does , oh Hodgson was hopeless I agree
@@jimdonnelly1144 that was Martin Broughton as well though. Purslow already worked for Lpool and Hicks and Gillett. But he did work with Broughton to do that, true. And then they got Hodgson in. Great in business affairs, not so good in footballing matters.
If the premier league blinked out of existence tommorow, including all the teams that play in the top flight. Not only English football but world football would feel it. It’s not about a person’s entitlement, arrogance etc. It’s boils down to cold, hard facts that aren’t interested in someone who isn’t happy with the way of the world.
Let's talk about purslow involvement with FSG on how they used under hand tactics ie brown envelopes to buy LFC under market Value and how purslow and his fellow corrupt directors ignored all the other higher bids made by other parties !!! Ask purslow why the lowest bid made by FSG to buy LFC was the winning bid over other higher bids ???

Half the players in the PL wouldn't be here if not for the high wages. We say its the best league in the world but most top players if given the choice want to play in Spain.

Watching Simon with a different face today than when he talks ill of my beloved Arsenal..
Texas just hoping other leagues will follow so the playing field levels back out, so PREM don't get all the money. He wud do that now Spanish teams r now behind us
Anything get censored from this one? Or is it only when Trevor is on that they do that?
UTV...Christian is a very well spoken and intelligent man
Easy to solve.
1). All the EFL and Premier league TV revenue gets added up and pooled. League 2 clubs get 5% of it to share amongst themselves equally. Whatever that figure is their wage bill is not allowed to exceed it. League one clubs get 8% of the TV money shared equally and they aren’t allowed to have their wage bill exceed it. The championship sides share 12% and their wage bill can’t exceed that figure. Leaving 75% for the premier clubs to split as they do now.
2). Premier leagues clubs have a wage bill limit of £200m a year. They can exceed that limit if they wish but they then pay a 100% tax on everything paid to players over and above the £200m. This goes into a pot. 45% is given to grass roots. 5% goes to the PFA and the remaining 50% is divided equally amongst all the clubs who did not break the £200m limit.
3). All the clubs that earn European competition prize money have to pay 10% of it into the pot mentioned in point 2).
This should help bring the bottom premier league clubs slightly closer to the big six and stop any EFL club going out of business. Whilst the big six would loose out they’d still be earning more from TV revenue than their big European rivals. After the attempted break a away super league and the new champions league format in the pipe line can anyone really argue with it.
As for agents why not just pass a law saying they can only take a maximum 5% of any transfer fee and only 5% of any players wages?
You could even have a maximum number of professionals per club. Of 50. So that super clubs can’t harvest up all best the under 23s. That way the lesser clubs keep them and get decent fees once they are first team ready
I like your thinking in general. Some element of revenue generation capability should perhaps be factored in when looking at spend on players wages perhaps
@@carlsworldofwisewords8907 with FFP now Lfc, utd, Chelsea and city can all legally afford £320-350m wage bills.
Whilst everton and Leicester have come close to breaking the rules with only £140m a year wage bills.
I don't think thats fair. Its a vicious circle if the big club's are allowed to spend £350m they will finish in the championship league and therefore be able to afford 360m next year, finish in the champions league again the following season and so on.
Only state owned clubs can bridge the gap. And they ate enticed into the game precisely because they too will get keep all the champions league tv and prize money to themselves.
Why not try and tax them? Bring the mid table clubs up to the £200m wage bill level and the tax will cause the big five or six clubs to reduce theres to 250-275m..
Making it possible for the other clubs to compete and have the odd seaon in the champions league themselves.
Level it out so theres a big six, and another large eight.
Rather than four giants, big spurs, big arsenal. And everyone else mediocre hoping for the odd seaon in the europa and a cup run. The fa cup leaves the big five about once every ten years.
Why should same teams keep all the champions league revenue to themselves?
Same way the prem should throw 25% down to the EFL. Maybe the champions league clubs should throw 10% down to the prem and efl?
@@alansmith3733 rather than taxing them, why not allow them to keep the profit but not spend it on wages… . i.e. Just have a straight wage cap that can be implemented across Europe?
The better /more media savvy players could still earn more money through individual sponsorships and endorsements but they wouldn’t be so heavily geared to only a select few clubs in terms of choosing where they play football based on who pays them more! More of a meritocracy all round!
@@carlsworldofwisewords8907 totally agree with you but I was thinking that the top clubs would only agree to a cap that is double most clubs could afford. And a tax system allows extra money to flow down the pyramid.
A cap of £120m everyonr could affird in the prem is a third of what utd, lfc and city currently pay
The tax disadvantage is correct. It’d start with transfer tax, then it would lead to multiple other taxes over the years. Don’t do it

Brilliant haha
Well done Simon!
People want to see man City vs Chelsea not forrest green vs Sutton,that's why Premier league gets more t.v money. All clubs are privately owned & if an owner can't run the club with in it's means & go bust that's their problem why should an owner of the Premier league team lose money because they can't run their club right & anyone who's says we'll it's the Premier league not the teams giving the money if the Premier league give away the money how are they going to do that? By paying the teams less that's how. Efl want better t.v deals that the people that run the efl need to negotiate better deals.
Good Debate between two guys who know their money situations.
The Players themselves should be paying their Agents for finding them the contract. It's insane that the Club has to pay the Agent and buy the Player.
Purslow will always be remembered as the man who brought Hodgson to Lpool.
Nah, hes the man who got rid of Hicks and Gillette and brokered the FSG deal leading to the most successful period on 30 years
Got rid of the 2 cowboys at liverpool got rid of Bruce hired Smith after he sadly couldn't do any more hired Gerrard to take Villa on to another level hopefully, obviously don't agree with everything he says and does , oh Hodgson was hopeless I agree
yes I miss those head banging days always brings a tears to my eyes lol
@@jimdonnelly1144 that was Martin Broughton as well though. Purslow already worked for Lpool and Hicks and Gillett. But he did work with Broughton to do that, true. And then they got Hodgson in. Great in business affairs, not so good in footballing matters.
@@yippyialeftside8351 not saying he has not done good things, just saying that every time I see him I think of Hodgson.
Drama Queen Jim White.... what a plonker!
Putting Jim in the middle is doing such a disservice to SJ and CP… JW desperately trying to fit in with cool kids..
Get this guy on regularly
“Everything good in football comes from the Premier League” (Purslow) - Really…that’s say it all. Entitlement writ large.
If the premier league blinked out of existence tommorow, including all the teams that play in the top flight. Not only English football but world football would feel it. It’s not about a person’s entitlement, arrogance etc. It’s boils down to cold, hard facts that aren’t interested in someone who isn’t happy with the way of the world.
Theres about 20 other massive clubs who would take their places and the cycle would start again
Got to hand it to Purslow, he is levels above these two.
Let's talk about purslow involvement with FSG on how they used under hand tactics ie brown envelopes to buy LFC under market
Value and how purslow and his fellow corrupt directors ignored all the other higher bids made by other parties !!!
Ask purslow why the lowest bid made by FSG to buy LFC was the winning bid over other higher bids ???
Can't argue over the trophies and what's Klopp done to the team
Evidence?
Regardless , it's all been justified as Liverpool r now a top team again , because of thiat
He was input to reduce their debt facility and the deal managed to do it significantly
Ooh this should be good (grabs popcorn)
At last…Someone on Talksport speaking sense,well done to Christian Purslow
London bridge has fallen.
The distribution Model restructuring is the answer not government interference like they are doing in Spain.
Maybe ban agents and use the PFA. Anything football is dealt with by PFA and external interests can be handled by agents. Done
