In a special festive edition recorded at the party before the SportsPro Christmas party, SportsPro editorial director James Emmett serves up fat festive slices of Eoin Connolly, SportsPro's current editor, David Cushnan, SportsPro's former editor, Matt Cutler and Richard Gillis, both formerly of SportBusiness International, and Scott Bowers, group communications director at the Jockey Club. On the show, we assess the year gone by and look forward to another cracker. In detail: Discovery, Eurosport and the Olympic Channel; fence-sitting with the 2024 Olympics; Scott Bowers' close encounters with Brett Gosper's hair products; Richard Gillis in a Guinness factory; how women might be rugby's way in to the US; how Ireland might be cricket's way in to the US; why the Unofficial50 is a grassroots movement worth keeping an eye on; and Fifa, governing bodies in general, and the thin line between corruption and canny strategic thinking. HAPPY HOLIDAYS and apologies for the background noise. |
