Is Football Finance Out of Control? Amid national decline and uncertainty, Britain has quietly built one of its greatest modern exports: the English Premier League (EPL).
In this episode, sports finance expert Professor Rob Wilson reveals how the EPL became a global money-making juggernaut that dwarfs every other British sport. He explains where the billions come from, who’s really cashing in, why top players now earn over £500,000 a week—and whether it’s sustainable. Plus, the growing fear that “The Beautiful Game” is losing its soul under the weight of its own success.
Watch now to discover how English football conquered the world—and what it might cost the sport.
