Hello and welcome to the Price of Football, the show that looks at the money behind the

0:14.3

beautiful game and would like to remind you that the Premier League is very much a marathon

0:18.8

and not a sprint. I am Kevin Day, he's a little bit of a university's Kirin McGuire and

0:24.4

unfortunately Kirin I don't think we're going to be very good at the marathon either. Although

0:29.5

we lost four now at Chelsea last season and three now we have to do so by my maths, that's

0:34.0

a 25% improvement is that right? That's very good. You've been following the numbers in the

1:36.3

expert Gavin Brown about fan tokens and we have a couple of news stories and before that

1:42.5

even we have me saying to you, what are fan tokens? As we've been having a lot of questions

1:47.6

leads just the latest club to join in with this science fiction money that not all of us

1:53.7

understand what are they doing? What's happened to cash? I can't just give somebody a

1:57.2

fire that for a pie. Well, the thing is Kevin, if you give somebody

2:01.1

fire for a pie, you get the pie straight away. The thing about these fan tokens is you give
