Summary
In a brand new show brought to you by The Athletic Mark Chapman is joined by David Ornstein, George Caulkin and Ed Malyon to discuss the current state of football, debate some of the biggest issues affecting our favourite sport, and hopefully work out how it could be improved upon its return.
We start with the Premier League, and in particular the so-called big six. Has the league created a powerbase that enables them to totally dominate? Nearly two thirds of the teams are now left to battle it out to avoid the drop and the subsequent financial oblivion, so what can be done to make the league more competitive and equal?
