Episode notes

In the last few years, we've seen a curious rise in stadium sales in the Championships as club owners purchase their own assets and use the figures to offset their debt. Sheffield Wednesday are one such club. However, in this instance, the EFL are fighting back.

Today, we are joined by The Athletic's Sheffield Wednesday journalist, Nancy Frostick (@nancyfrostick) and football finance expert and host of the Price of Football Podcast, Kieran Maguire (@KieranMaguire) to discuss the case of the sale of Hillsborough and the wider context of finance in English football's second division.
