Summary
Last April, the European Super League crashed into our lives. Andy Brassell and a host of journalists, fans and familiar Ramble voices revisit what happened.
In the second episode of our three-part series, we tell the story of how fans in England brought the house of cards crashing down.
We hear from leaders of fan groups, supporters and journalists who were at the heart of the protests both in the boardroom and at the Emirates, Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford.
Our third and final episode is out on Friday. Want to join the conversation? Find us on socials @FootballRamble and use the hashtag #BFTB.
