Part 6/10:

The Broader Implications of MCO (Multi-Club Ownership)

This situation raises an essential question about the governance of multi-club ownership (MCO) structures. Clubs operating under a single ownership group can engage in lucrative but questionable transactions, complicating the definition of fair play. Historically, such interrelations have generated controversy, with examples dating back to the 1990s when businesses like Parmalat controlled multiple clubs across continents. The core issue lies in the lack of clear, enforceable guidelines governing these arrangements.
