Where did the Premier League c0me from and where is it going?

This week Mike and Michael are joined by Wall Street Journal sportswriter Jonathan Clegg, co-author of the new book, The Club: How the English Premier League Became the Wildest, Richest, Most Disruptive Force in Sports. It's a history of the business of the Premier League, how it was formed and negotiated, how it grew, the structural forces that shaped its growth. It's catnip for a Double Pivot conversation, and we had a lot of fun.You can follow Jonathan on twitter at @cleggjon and read more about the book from the publisher here: https://www.hmhbooks.com/shop/books/The-Club/9781328506450. The other book discussed on the podcast was David Goldblatt's The Game of Our Lives.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
