Ahead of the new season, a special edition of the Football Weekly podcast delves into the murky world of football finance. Host Max Rushden is joined by Barry Glendenning, Kieran Maguire and Philippe Auclair to examine the key issues affecting the game.
The panel discusses Premier League clubs selling academy products and other loopholes, questioning how these are being exploited and whether any action is being taken to address them. The conversation also covers Manchester United's job cuts, ticket price increases, and the persistent threat of a European Super League.
Elsewhere, the sad demise of Bordeaux is considered, along with Kylian Mbappé's move to buy a football club. Finally, the podcast touches on Steve Coogan's upcoming role as former manager Mick McCarthy.
