    Coventry owner Doug King on promotion and Premier League survival | The Football Boardroom

    30/04/2026 | 1h 3 mins.
    Coventry City are back in the Premier League after a 25-year absence.

    What were the principal factors that propelled the club’s return to football’s Promised Land? And how do they stay there? 

    City owner Doug King breaks off from the much-deserved festivities around Coventry to join Christian and Henry and discuss the club’s remarkable odyssey, his experiences as a football owner and the plan for what comes next.

    He also shares his thoughts on the football pyramid and the need for a financial deal between the PL and EFL to be done sooner rather than later.

    Arsenal fans may be licking their wounds after another defeat to Man City, but do the reasons to be cheerful still eclipse any sense of gloom over the Emirates?

    They also discuss the boardroom exit of one of football’s most high-profile executives after Karren Brady announced her departure from West Ham.

    Is the Chelsea project broken? | The Football Boardroom

    16/04/2026 | 43 mins.
    It’s been anything but quiet on the West London front this season at Chelsea. Ill-discipline on the pitch, fallings out off it at both boardroom and dressing-room level, financial losses, a controversial fine, question marks around the head coach…

    And it promises to be a summer of discontent in SW6 should the club fail to qualify for the Champions League. 

    What exactly is the owners’ strategy? And is it time for them to change course and devise a new plan?

    Christian and Henry drill into both accounts and accountability at the Bridge and assess what the men from California can do to rewrite the script and land a Hollywood ending.

    Why are Championship clubs in financial freefall? | The Football Boardroom

    09/04/2026 | 39 mins.
    Portsmouth's chairman just rang the alarm bell on Championship finances. So we did what we do — pulled the accounts, ran the numbers, and asked the uncomfortable questions.

    Why do these clubs keep losing money? Why does anyone still want to own one? And is there a solution to the crisis?

About The Football Boardroom

You've watched the games. You've lived every kick, every decision, every trophy won and lost. But have you ever wondered what really happens in the rooms where football's future is decided? The Football Boardroom is where football fans finally get the answers they've been searching for. For too long, we've been kept on the outside looking in- left to speculate about the deals, the decisions and the power plays that shape the clubs we love. Not anymore. Our hosts have lived and breathed football at the very highest level. Christian Purslow has run three of the biggest clubs in the country: CEO at Liverpool and Aston Villa, managing director at Chelsea. He's been in the room when the biggest calls were made. Henry Winter is a pillar of British football journalism, who has been named the country's Football Writer of the Year seven times. He has spent decades chasing the stories that matter- the ones whispered in corridors and hidden behind boardroom doors. Now, he doesn't need to knock. He's got an access-all-areas pass. Together, Christian and Henry are pulling back the curtain on football's corridors of power, and they're pulling no punches. This isn't commentary from the stands- this is insight from the seats that matter. About the deals that transform your club. It's about the strategies that win titles and cost managers their jobs. It's a window into the egos, the personalities and the billions that flow through the beautiful game. For the deepest football analysis about how football's powerbrokers think, act, and plan, take your seat in The Football Boardroom. This is the podcast for you. A 1071 Media production
