The Overlap Fan Debate

Professor of football finance at The University of Liverpool Kieran Maguire joins Jamie Carragher, Seamus Coleman and our club fans for a special Overlap Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Manchester City’s charges take centre stage as Kieran explains the potential punishment, the appeals process and why the financial fallout could stretch far beyond the club. City fan Luke defends his commitment to following the team, while Coleman reflects on experiencing Everton’s points deductions as a player.

Plus, clubs struggling to balance the books, billionaire ownership and the rising cost of supporting your team. Are loyal fans being priced out of the game?
