Between The Lines with Melissa Reddy

Transfer success or failure: how player welfare can make a difference

Billions of pounds exchange hands during transfer windows, but there is never a guarantee that a mega-money signing will adjust at his new club regardless of how pedigreed he is as a player.  Moves in the market have always been viewed through the prism of the deal itself: who is the target, when will it be agreed, how much for and how long for?  But on this episode of Between The Lines, we delve into what can help make transfers successful: player welfare.  If you've ever wondered how some footballers hit the ground running at their new clubs or why talented ones flop, a lot of the answers are provided by our three guest experts: a head of recruitment, an agent and one of the pioneers of player welfare in the country. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
