Episode Notes
Jarod Hector and Sid R. discuss the world of influencers and how clubs 'launder influence' by finding people who need their sourcing or paying them to push their messaging. Florentino Perez maintains an iron grip around information around Real Madrid. We discuss how we intend on building sources near Real Madrid, and the inherent limitations of press credentials because they often only go out to people who ask 'approved' questions. What does getting real insider information in sports entail? Why is Real Madrid's narrative control so strong? Why hasn't Fabrizio Romano disclosed the payments he receives from football clubs to post things?
