Racism, club ownership and City to retain their title – FWA Live
Our latest FWA LIve event at the Landmark London on August 6 was a huge success, with a wide range of topics discussed by our panel in front of a packed house.Chris Hughton, Simon Jordan and Teddy Sheringham were our special guests from the world of football, and joined FWA Chair Carrie Brown and Times football correspondent Henry Winter on a panel hosted by Gerry Cox, former Chairman of the FWA.
The first 45 minutes involved a panel discussion on the likely winners of this season's Premier League (Manchester City were overwhelming favourites), transfer dealings this summer, the fates of the newly-promoted clubs and how Frank Lampard and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will fare.
After a short break, panellists took questions from the 100 or so guests, resulting in lively and revelatory discussions about racism, club ownership, the difficulties of management and more.
The event was streamed live on Facebook thanks to our title sponsors William Hill, and you can see the first 45 minutes on the FWA's Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/FootballWritersAssociation/videos/2131821920279052/
And a substantial sum was raised for our charity Alzheimer's Society. See the great work they are doing on research into a disease that increasingly affects not only football but society as a whole https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/
