Roger Mitchell and Mark Oliver launch Citizen AYNE, a new AYNE series inspired by Citizen Kane, by rewinding to the white‑heat of the dot‑com boom and Roger’s time running the Scottish Premier League. Using their first deal together as a live case study, they unpack how tech money, over-excited broadcasters and new investors created a “boom on a boom” in media rights, why today’s AI and chip-stock frenzy feels eerily similar, and how modern moguls like Bezos and Ellison now sit where Malone and Murdoch once did in deciding the future value of sport.
