Interesting, insightful, and funny

This show has been a recent find for me and I’m enjoying the insight and perspective they bring. Long may this pod continue!
Mancitygirl143

Thank you

Had to come over to say thank you for appearing on the 93:20 pod review of Brighton v City. Can’t seem to get my fill of you Price of football gents. Great appearance Kieran.
Thecheeselies

Always Enjoy It

It satisfies my never ending football related questions and how it financially stays going.
Joe Blogs, III

Fantastic Pod!

Been listening for a few years now and I think I almost understand amortization! It might be better if were presented by Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee.
nyc4you

Great podcast

Fully recommend this for anyone interested in football and finance. Would be slightly better if The Rock and Ms Piggy were the presenters though. : )
New to racing

Makes the complex easy to follow.

Why are teams losing money? What is amortization and why is it causing your team to sell homegrown players? These guys explain it all. And it’s both humorous and easy to follow.
Denver Daly's

Educational and Entertaining

Smart and very informative with some great humor tossed in there. Anyone who wants to truly delve into the business of football must listen to these two gents!

Found it recently. These 2 do a great job of breaking down the complicated realm of the financial realities of football in an interesting, insightful and entertaining manner. Great show!

I definitely prefer you guys over Jimmy Carr, but it would be funny to have him on your show

The Mice of Football

A well overdue show that covers the greatest mice footballers of all time including Kevin “Mighty Mouse” Keegan and hot prospects Mason Mouse and Mouse Kean.
It’sRon_NotRonald

Great Pod

The Price of Football is a great pod for those interested in the financial side of the sport. Great insight from the hosts answering questions from listeners. Just fantastic.
Baltimore-Zachary

New cohost?

Looking forward to the pod when Kate Moss cohosts.
hoganlike

Good show and worth a listen

Been listening since the start and mainly enjoy it. Kieran takes 2x as long to answer a question as necessary so episodes are longer than need be and they could cover more stuff . Listen on 1.5 speed really helps .
warhmmer209

An informative and funny podcast

Being a new fan to the sport soccer, I’ve found this podcast quite informative when it comes to learning the ins and outs of financial aspects of the English football leagues. And as an American, I’ve also been able to get a taste of British humor as well as gain some insight into the British football culture. Overall it’s a well done podcast that I enjoy listening to.

Great Football Pod!

I look forward to listening to the pod each week and love the balance of humor, analytics football and even a bit of nonesense. Cheers!
lrhhrl

Not really football finance

I really enjoy the concept but the complaining is insane. Nothing is ever ok. It is less football finance now and just football headlines. Very sensational.
Johnnnnnnnnnnyyokkkk

World class

My wife is an auditor at Deloitte, but understood virtually nothing about what she does until I started listening. Great stuff from both Kevin and Kieran!
jimcush

Football Behind the Scenes

A great podcast to understand the money and behind closed doors workings into a club, I’ve been listening for years.
DuuDuDuDuDuuu

Tell me more about how you obtained and analyzed data …

… ‘cos it *does* sound like you are shilling for the agents. Was it from multiple sources, was it complete? was it validated? were the results statistically significant? The Foden example is not a typical case, I’m fact it sounded cherry-picked. You say no one complains … did you talk to club leadership and ownership? Did you ask Pep about Yaya’s agent? Apart from that, love the pod.

Best football finance podcast

Very enjoyable listen - Kevin and Kieran have a very good rapport.
Calthane

Top Notch

My younger self would be so disappointed that I listen to such a nerdy pod. But I think that’s why I love it, especially when it’s so well presented, with both humor and fact.
New Jersey Brit

Relentlessly unfunny host

Would rather the show be presented by Kieran Maguire and anyone else.
Jim1999

Great Show

Excellent subject matter and the hosts really make the show.
demos94

Nothing quite like it

Covering “the money behind the beautiful game” and advocating for supporters’ interests within it is an invaluable service and something I didn’t know I needed. Highly recommend for those who aren’t afraid to look behind the curtain.
TomH59

Great way to understand more about Football

It’s funny, sometimes controversial and always has a good way to look at the another side of football. Appreciate the banter that they have between each other, and the fact that they cover so many different leagues.
JFPIV89

The Best

It is disturbing really how much I enjoy unwinding on a Sunday evening in the US listening to your podcast. Cheers!
nikolai_littleton

Awesome 👏

Very Educational if you love ball ⚽️.
Jtpincus

Excellent show

Thrilled to listen each week
Slight full

Fun and nerdy

Fun podcast
Big_ginger_joe

Podtastic

I keep listening even though I’d rather it be hosted by Mel Morris and Laurence Bassini. Looking forward to the Pride Park live event so Derby fans can buy them a pint/nice cup of tea they deserve

Lovely lovely pod

I’d rather the show be hosted by ME… and Kevin and Kieran… what a dream!

Great pod!

Great pod.

The Rock

Great pod - though The Rock as host would be much better. 😉
goodbye mr mackenzie

This is a great podcast!

The two fellas have produced a fabulous and long overdue insight into the behind the scenes finances of football. At their request it might be better if it were presented Kate Bush who must sing instead if talking and Basil Faulty
Blah Blah Bruh

Wonderful and informative

Excellent podcast about the business side of English football. Very informative and the questions they answer really have helped my understanding of the beautiful game.

Hosting duties

Rather it was hosted by Kevin Costner and Harry Maguire
RambelingJoe

Superb

Absolutely brilliant for anyone interested in football beyond the 22 players kicking an inflated sheep’s bladder!
dandylion1971

I would rather

This show was presented by any member of bronski beat along with Nadine Dorris. But that’s cool.
donkey1122334455

Best football pod out there

Hands down
Troy Noble

Love the $$$ behind the sport

Well done mates ! Best football podcast around. Keep it up !
kjp2424johannes

Wonderful

Like talking to two pals
MikeyFreedom

Changed review

The incessant need to insert leftist nonsense from the so called self titled comedian has been enough to stop listening. More of a clown than comedian. The actual expert is good though.
CarloROyale

Top stuff

Terrific

Love this podcast!

Brilliantly genuine and insightful look into the finances of the game. One of my top 5 pods to listen on my commute. Great.

Beyond the hype

Great insight. Personable.
christianronald

Funny and Insightful

Kevin and Kieran have brilliant chemistry and with Kevin’s sense of humor and Kieran’s expertise added to the mix, the podcast has become my favorite to listen to on walks. This is a must-listen for anyone who’s interested in football/soccer. Keep up the excellent work!
