The Soccer CEO is a blog about the business of global soccer, covering everything from player transfers and sponsorships to broadcast rights and Financial Fair Play.  The business and the sport are inextricably linked for better or worse and any impact in one hemisphere resonates in the other.

We hope to help supporters understand the issues affecting the clubs they love and make sense of the happenings in the business world through a combination of curated news articles, event commentary and business analysis.

He frequents the pitches of Brooklyn and has been called  ‘Ji-Sung Park without the technique’ on multiple occasions.
