In this episode of The Fan Debate brought to you by Sky Bet, Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are joined by football finance expert Kieran Maguire, who provides an update on the ongoing case surrounding Manchester City. If the club is found guilty, what could the future of the Premier League look like? The team debates what a fair punishment would be and how it could reshape the league’s landscape.
The conversation then shifts to Liverpool, as lifelong fan Gareth shares his perspective on Trent Alexander-Arnold’s potential move to Real Madrid. Are Liverpool fans being unfair in their criticism of the transfer? And with the club having rejected a bid for the right-back in January, was that the right decision in hindsight?
Manchester United’s midfield also comes under the spotlight, with questions raised about how the club can get the best out of Kobbie Mainoo following his dip in form under new manager Rúben Amorim. What has changed in his performances, and can he rediscover his best form in the current system?
The team also discusses Aston Villa’s challenging balancing act between the Champions League and FA Cup, Arsenal’s ongoing striker dilemma, and who Mikel Arteta should target in the summer transfer window.
