Richard and Andy are joined by former EFL chairman and veteran football finance and takeover adviser Keith Harris to examine the latest developments surrounding Manchester City.

Having advised on the club’s 2007 takeover, Harris offers a unique insider’s perspective on a case that could have major consequences for City—and the wider game. What happens next? Could the punishment include a points deduction, relegation or even expulsion? Would the EFL accept City under their current ownership, and what could the fallout mean for the club’s supporters, players and community?

The panel also discusses the Premier League’s role, the proposed independent regulator, possible legal action from rival clubs and whether football’s ownership rules are fit for purpose.

Plus, Harris reveals how close Celtic and Rangers once came to joining the English Football League.
