Summary

Jamie Carragher, Paul Scholes, and the returning Gary Neville are back with another unmissable episode of The Overlap Fan Debate brought to you by Sky Bet.


We are joined by passionate fans from across the country, plus financial expert Kieran Maguire and George Elek from the Not Top Twenty Podcast. We dive into the biggest talking points in football finance right now including financial distribution and sustainability in the game as well as the issue of ticket pricing.

We look at the new Premier League TV deal and its impact on clubs’ revenues, as well as football community concerns, including the commercialisation of football and its effect on loyal supporters.


Finally, we get an insider view on the ownership and management changes at Salford City, discussing the challenges and ambitions of making the club financially sustainable.
