About this listen

This week, Bruno and Fergus sit down with esteemed sports writer Paul McCarthy to discuss his new book 'Fever Pitch: The Rise of the Premier League'.They begin by discussing the conception of the Premier League, including how it has changed over 30 years. Was Manchester United's title win in the inaugural season their most important in the Premier League era? How did Eric Cantona revolutionise English football? And how could the Premier League recognise Sir Alex Ferguson's achievements to a greater extent?Paul then talks about the importance of Arsène Wenger, and how Abramovich's arrival transformed English football. Bruno and Fergus end by asking Paul about the dangers of Premier League ownership models, as Paul gives his view on whether the Premier League should support the football pyramid to a greater extent.Photo credits: Shaun Boterill-Getty Images/Colorsport
