Football: Clearing Up Corruption in Football


In the second of our football specials, University of Portsmouth researchers share surprising insights into the balance books of the beautiful game.


Christina Philippou and Dr Adam Cox tell Life Solved how mismanagement and corruption can often mean funds end up in the wrong places, creating conflicts of interest and instability in clubs at all levels.


They also discuss the route to making the sport fairer financially, with better regulation and processes – something Christina’s background in accounting and fraud investigations gives her a unique insight upon.
