I thought it may also help to put my published and peer reviewed FFP research into one thread:
I was beyond excited to have appeared on this week's @BBCRadio4 Law In Action with @JoshuaRozenberg talking #FFP, Man City, UEFA, and CAS. You can check it out here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas… or here bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006tgy…, or when the show airs again at 8pm on Thursday.
I’m not wholly sure what Carragher is supposed to have said, but from what I can gather it seems quite anodyne. You’d think any lawyer acting here would want to be very careful about their own SLAPP risk.

Alex Fisher recently graduated from the PFA Business School and has taken up a role with @BathCity_FC. 🎓
He discusses how his studies with the players’ union have supported his transition into a new career. ⤵️

There’s a good socio-legal PhD thesis out there waiting to be written on the rise of sports law in the UK, public engagement with legal principles, and the weaponisation of fans in legal processes.
I will be talking about the legal aspects of this (both sort of and also very literally about this specifically) at the upcoming International Sports Law Journal Conference in The Hague in early November. Hope to see some of you there. nytimes.com/athletic/7696023…
Could a diplomat dodge the Independent Football Regulator by claiming diplomatic immunity for themselves/their club? This would be an excellent exam question. Here’s how we might answer it.
Clubs within the IFR’s aegis are commercial. Ergo, I can’t see how any state or diplomatic immunity would apply, except in the exercise of criminal enforcement. (Which the IFR can do!)
Interesting comments from Andy Burnham. If only somebody had written about the intersection of the Football Governance Act and political influence in an open access paper available here link.springer.com/article/10…
