The economics of being a football manager

Following several high-profile management sackings in the English Premiership of late, this week on Taking Stock Susan Hayes Culleton looks at the economics behind football managers at Premier League clubs when she talks to Chief Sports reporter for The Times UK, Martyn Ziegler and football finance expert at the University of Liverpool, Kieran Maguire. What now for Global Oil following the crisis in Venezuela? Susan is joined by Jamie Smyth who is the US Energy Editor at the Financial Times. Plus, in the run up to CAO deadline, Susan asks why more people don’t consider ‘apprenticeships’ when she talks to Gemma Lawlor who is Guidance Counsellor at Tyndall College Carlow.
