Man City v the Premier League

The Sports Desk

Available for over a year

As the world’s richest football league charges its champions with serial rule-breaking, we assess how the case could alter the landscape of English football. What could it mean for the regulation of the game and the growing number of clubs owned by nation states? We hear from the general secretary of the Man City Supporters Club and ask a leading sports lawyer what to expect from a legal fight that could shape the future of the domestic game. City said they were "surprised" by the charges and are supported by a "body of irrefutable evidence". This podcast was updated on 10th February to correct a factual error made by a contributor. Panel: Jane Dougall, Dan Roan, David Conn, Kieran Maguire Producer: Sam Sheringham
