Customer Reviews
Great show. Love it…
Hello guys, Congrats for doing this. Really enjoy it. Your latest show on the AFL caught my attention, not least since I have just watched the Apple Série on the Europe Super League. With all that we know at this stage about the AFL, I am afraid it doesn’t really cut it for me. It seems CAF is trying to solve the urgent issue of revenues generation for African football (which is important) but is using exactly the wrong method and platform to do so. Essentially, the risk here is that this league, if successful, would kill the C1 and make richer clubs (mainly from North Africa) even stronger. That’s ironic… Anyways, happy to discuss this with you if you so wish, not least since I was myself a former sport journalist who is studying football management in Spain… All the best, Andre-Michel
