This week, we're joined by author and podcaster Musa Okwonga (@Okwonga) to discuss the aborted attempt to create a European Super League of football, a deep dive into why football clubs have such abysmal finances, why there are so many Russian gangsters "investing" in the beautiful game, and much more.

JP Morgan is the IMF of the European Super League...forcing these indebted clubs to play this postcapitalist shell game.

The scousers in Anfield have like three main places they hang out but it is expensive as fuck. They've actually done walk outs in the past decade against ticket price increases which makes it all the more bonkers that Liverpool got involved in this shite, like Liverpool fans drove their original shit corrupt American owners out of the club in 2010, it was like the Iranian revolution but Scouse.

Really interesting what Musa said about the Bayern ultras doing anti racist activism. I lived in Munich for a while and I always assumed they were definitely not anti racist, based on the stickers I saw everywhere. Goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover I guess (especially when you don't speak German lol)

best way to avoid having so much of a fanbase not be local is to support a team like burnley since we're so shit nobody would support them for any other reason other than bein local

William Bell

Great episode, that was fantastic and there were loads of different tangents you could go off with. Football, tax havens and use of clubs as a revenue stream to hide other money were great. The point Mousa made around the clubs being untethered and the way this inevitably leads to a disaster was excellent. Plus I reckon Riley is a fan of The Spurs. Could hear the ire in his voice when Milo mocked Teddy.

We never found out why Riley knows all the Bayern Munich players.. what was that all about?

Rick

Are the excessive transfer fees just another mechanism for restricting competition on the field.. would the super league clubs be hoping they’d have a non competitive league that has no competition for the signatures of top players from the poorer leagues they abandoned.. which means the super league would only have to pay wages just above that of the richest non super league teams. I have no doubt these billionaires owners would have the whole thing rigged and fixed to extract the maximum profit from the whole league than the individual clubs?

We have a "football index" here in the United States but we call them baseball cards and you actually get a physical good you can look at at display

Paul Mawdsley

I can't believe Riley talked about Stan Kroenke without bringing up Screaming Eagle or Jonata

J HUTCH

Brilliant episode, but the oversight of the plight of Gunnersauras was a big miss

J HUTCH

the Big Lewandowski = sus

Great Episode, still hoping we get a Britainology on the Old Firm at some point because that's a fun little intersection of (kind of) big business, ancient hatreds and weird types of guys that exist in their own little bubble

Love that The Line just seems bored now and is doodling dicks in its ledger
