About this episode

After two big rulings that could change football's future, Gabby and Mark Pougatch team up to make sense of it all, helped by top sports lawyer and Partner at Sheridans, Daniel Geey.

Could this be the end of the transfer system as we know it? That's after former Chelsea and Arsenal midfielder Lassana Diarra won his battle with FIFA, proving that some transfer rules break EU law.

PFA Chief Executive Maheta Molango tells us what this might mean for players and we get the clubs' reaction from CEO of European Club Association, Charlie Marshall.

And did Man City or the Premier League actually win their landmark dispute on sponsorship deals? Could the outcome backfire on some of City's biggest rivals, like Arsenal?
