Show me the money!

It's not like Real Madrid and Barcelona to be shy when it comes to spending a pound note, or a Euro across the continent, but after conducting some early business, all seems to have gone quiet in Spain's two big cities. So where do the El Clásico clubs stand when it comes to this season's La Liga title race? And what might Atlético Madrid have to say about being left out of the conversation?


Dotun, David Cartlidge and Lars Sivertsen debate that. Plus, Milan have brought in a huge amount of money in transfer revenue, but when are they going to spend it?

OTC Special: How sportswashing took over football

OTC Special: How sportswashing took over football

Football could be considered the most popular cultural pursuit that has ever existed. So should we be surprised that – perhaps more than any other sport – it is routinely used to gain political and cultural soft power?Today, Miguel Delaney tells Dotun and Andy all about his new book, States of Play, which gets to the bottom of sportswashing and assesses its true impact on the game we love. Miguel also speaks candidly about dealing with abuse and why he felt so compelled to cover this side of football.Buy a copy of the book: https://geni.us/StatesOfPlayAsk us a question on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok, and email us here: otc@footballramble.com.For ad-free shows, head over to our Patreon and subscribe: patreon.com/footballramble.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
