On this week’s show we focus on the story of the failed European Super League – a plan to create greater revenue for 12 top European clubs, where a huge outcry saw the end of the project in the space of three days. What was behind the plans, what about the idea that football is for all? And while Fifa has always condemned the plans for the ESL, Fifa president Gianni Infantino has plans to start an African Super League, with 20-24 top clubs paying $20m a year to take part. Plus Stuart looks at Jose Mourinho's departure from Spurs.
