On this week's episode of What If, we're diving into the 2021 European Super League project, which collapsed within a matter of days. Host Emma Paton is joined by Matt Slater and Dan Kilpatrick to see what would've happened if the idea actually went ahead. Could it have worked, what would it have meant for domestic leagues, the Champions League and the fabric of football? Host: Emma Paton Guests: Matt Slater, Dan Kilpatrick Executive Producer: Guy Clarke Producers: Mike Stavrou, Grayson Moody Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
