In this episode I'm joined by Miguel Delaney to chat about his new book: 'States of play – How sportwashing took over football'. We discuss what sportswashing actually means, and how in this book we come to understand it's a very broad term to quickly describe how football, money and politics have become inextricably linked. We chat about the impact it has had on competitiveness in the game, why Roman Abramovich's arrival at Chelsea in 2003 opened a Pandora's Box, the Premier League's culpability, how FIFA and UEFA have failed to safeguard the game and instead jumped on the gravy train, and lots more. You can also win one of two copies of the book.
