Gab Marcotti and Natalie Sawyer host an author special this Thursday on The Game podcast.
Joshua Robinson, co-author of The Club: How the English Premier League Became the Wildest, Richest, Most Disruptive Force in Sports, joins us alongside The Times chief sports reporter Martyn Ziegler, to discuss the global juggernaut that is England’s top tier.
We delve into the knowledge of Joshua and his co-author Jonathan Clegg, who have spoken to executives and owners past and present about their emotional and financial investment. Hear about the last Chelsea team-talk pre-Abramovich and Randy Lerner’s tattoo. Plus branding, Brexit and Brentford.
