Ownership and funding
At Anfield Watch, we believe that transparency regarding our corporate structure, financial operations and ownership is essential to maintaining editorial integrity and earning the trust of our readers.
Ownership and network structure
Anfield Watch is part of Realtimes Publishing Network, an independent digital media company that operates a portfolio of leading international sports, culture and entertainment publications, including FootballTransfers.com, FCUpdate.nl, GPFans.com and MovieMeter.nl.
Realtimes Publishing Network focuses on delivering reliable, high-quality and accessible digital journalism across global markets.
Editorial independence
The editorial team at Anfield Watch operates completely independently from commercial interests, platform owners, advertisers and external stakeholders.
Commercial partnerships, advertising campaigns and affiliate sales have no influence over our day-to-day reporting, match coverage, transfer insights or tactical opinions. Our writers and editors maintain full autonomy over article selection, subject angle, tone of voice and analytical perspective.
Business model and financing
The operational and editorial costs of running Anfield Watch are financed through several primary commercial revenue streams:
- Digital advertising. Display and video advertising served across our desktop and mobile platforms via established media sales partners and programmatically managed ad exchanges.
- Commercial partnerships. Strategic sponsorships and co-branded content with reputable commercial and sports media brands.
- Affiliate and referral links. Commission earned from partner services, such as ticketing or merchandise, generated when users make a purchase via referral links on our site.
Commercial disclosures
We maintain a strict boundary between commercial operations and editorial integrity:
- all sponsored articles, paid partnerships and commercial features are explicitly labelled as "Sponsored", "Advertorial" or "Partner Content";
- we never publish undisclosed promotions, covert marketing or hidden native advertising.
Editorial integrity and standards
We value accuracy, professionalism and accountability across every piece of journalism we produce.
All writers, editors and analysts contributing to Anfield Watch are expected to adhere strictly to our editorial policy. In the event of factual or contextual errors, updates and notes are issued promptly in line with our corrections policy.
