Is it time for football to put fans before money?

Description: By any measure, these are turbulent times for English football. The collapse of historic clubs like Bury and Macclesfield, the foiled Super League plot and the Saudi-backed takeover of Newcastle United are all symptoms – many say - of a sport losing touch with its fans. We’re joined by Tracey Crouch, whose fan-led review contains potentially game-changing proposals for the way football clubs are financed and run. We also speak to Brentford’s Stewart Purvis, the only fan-elected director of a Premier League club as we ask whether stricter ownership rules and more fan engagement will help the game rediscover its soul or risk damaging its global appeal. Panel: Sarah Mulkerrins, Dan Roan, Nesta McGregor, Henry Winter Producer: Sam Sheringham
