Every football fan's worst nightmare is seeing their team going bust. But how likely is that to happen? While the English game has been able to attract significant capitals,  cases of teams falling into financial hardship are frequent.  In this episode co-hosts Guy and Francesco ask Portsmouth University's Christina Philippou  what is the state of English football clubs' financial health. Christina teaches accounting and finance and is an expert on the financial sustainability of football, having co-authored two reports on the subject for the British government. Christina explains what might the planned new regulator look like and cover and how does women's football in England compare to men's football.
