Is It Time For Football To Put Fans Before Money?
Unique insight into the biggest sports news stories and the human issues behind them with ´óÏó´«Ã½ Sport's Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan and Nesta McGregor.
By any measure, these are turbulent times for English football.
The collapse of historic clubs like Bury and Macclesfield, the foiled Super League plot and the Saudi-backed takeover of Newcastle United are all symptoms – many say - of a sport losing touch with its fans.
We’re joined by Tracey Crouch, whose fan-led review contains potentially game-changing proposals for the way football clubs are financed and run.
We also speak to Brentford’s Stewart Purvis, the only fan-elected director of a Premier League club as we ask whether stricter ownership rules and more fan engagement will help the game rediscover its soul or risk damaging its global appeal.
Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Henry Winter
