S02E05 - Transfers: The Growth of Player Power | Players vs. the Club | #HarryKane #BenSimmons - a podcast by Aniket Gue, Mazhar Gadiwala, Rishabh Krishnan, Shubham Maloo

When Harry Kane did not show up to train with the Tottenham Hotspurs,  prior to the 2021/22 season, in an attempt to force a move to Manchester City, no one was surprised. Largely because in an era of growing player power, athletes putting this kind of pressure on their teams to force a move is far from unusual- just to name a few examples - Ben Simmons stand off with the 76ers, Neymar refusing to turn up to training a couple of years ago at PSG, Antonio Brown demanding a release from the then Oakland Raiders, the list goes on and on....

This week on All About Sports - the Podcast, we look to see how player power has evolved over the years, and what athletes have done in recent years to take back control of their careers from team / club management. What led to where we are now? How should clubs look to handle situations like trade requests? Who are the players who are really able to make these kinds of demands? And when has having the power to force a move back fired for players? Has this environment fostered the growth of super teams like the Lakers, Brooklyn Nets and PSG?

In an era with growing distrust between players and club management / ownership, we are likely to see an increasing divide within sports teams, and navigating this precarious relationship is going to be a key aspect for any club looking to have any type of long-term success.
