Stamford Chidge interviews Adrian Goldberg, author of the brilliant 'Where's The Money Gone?' about the battle for the soul of English football.
Adrian's book covers the changes to English football since the formation of the Premier League and how it turned the game into "a casino benefitting the super-rich at the expense of the clubs and communities at its heart."
In the book Adrian asks "who or what is the Premier League for? Does it exist to promote the wider wellbeing of football in England? Or is it there to advance the asset value of club owners and burnish the reputation of repressive states and global oligarchs?” and in turn we discuss the existential threat posed to supporters of English clubs owned by dubious owners.
