Summary
We start our new series in the offices at the very top of the football pyramid – with the boss of the Premier League, Chief Executive Richard Masters.
From dealing with the ill-fated European Super League to the changing nature of football finances and regulations, Masters chats to Jack Sullivan and Mark McAdam about what it takes to run the biggest and best league in the world. Plus, we ask what the future holds for you, the fans.
Each week, we’ll take you inside a different boardroom at every level of football, speaking to owners, chairmen and directors in the Premier League and beyond.
