Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire returns for another Price of Football special, joining Jamie Carragher, Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country to break down one of the most controversial areas of the modern game.

We begin with an update on Manchester City’s 115 charges, as Kieran explains where things stand and what could happen next, while City fan Luke shares his frustration at how long the case has dragged on.

The focus then shifts to supporters, with rising ticket prices and concerns around the matchday experience. Are clubs turning their backs on fans? Kieran also highlights Aston Villa as the next club potentially at financial risk, and we discuss what that could mean. The debate extends to soaring World Cup ticket prices and the introduction of SCR rules, which could reshape how Premier League clubs operate.

On this episode of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Gary Neville sits down for an exclusive one-to-one with Manchester United legend Edwin van der Sar.

Edwin reflects on why Manchester United still feels like home and reveals the approach he received from the club after retiring about a potential boardroom role. Would he ever return?

The conversation also turns to Ajax, where Edwin played a key role in rebuilding the club. He explains the philosophy behind their success, developing talents like Matthijs de Ligt and Lisandro Martínez, and what it takes to build a winning culture from the top.

We dive into the evolution of goalkeeping, including his work with André Onana and why modern keepers are being asked to do more than ever. He also discusses the next generation and the qualities he looks for in a top goalkeeper.

Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Jamie Carragher is joined by Wayne Rooney and some of the biggest fan channels in the country for another lively debate.

We start with VAR and refereeing standards after Wayne labels a recent FA Cup call between Aston Villa and Newcastle as “the worst decision he’s ever seen”. Has VAR made referees too reliant, and is it exposing bigger issues in the game?

Attention then turns to a turbulent week at Tottenham following Ange’s recent comments on Stick to Football and the appointment of interim boss Igor Tudor. We also check in on Nottingham Forest under new manager Vitor Pereira. Can he turn things around?

The title race heats up as Manchester City hunt down Arsenal. Will City’s pressure rattle the Gunners, or can Arsenal hold firm?

Chelsea and Manchester United have both enjoyed positive starts under new managers. Is Liam Rosenior facing his first real test, and does Michael Carrick deserve a permanent shot at Old Trafford?

The two look back on their time at Arsenal, sharing memories from one of the club’s greatest eras and what life was really like in that dressing room.

They talk through Dennis’ career, from moving to England and working under Arsène Wenger, to the art of finishing, the strikers he admired, and whether he thinks his game would suit modern football.

Welcome back to The Fan Debate, brought to you by Sky Bet.

Jamie Carragher and Paul Scholes are joined by Financial Times sports editor and Crystal Palace fan Josh Noble to discuss one of the biggest talking points in modern football, multi club ownership.

The panel break down how it has grown across the game, what fans really think about it, and how it has already impacted clubs up and down the country. Is it a smart model for success or something that risks changing football for good?

Shot on Target also returns for another competitive round as Carra and Scholes look to get the better of the fans once again.

We finish by looking ahead to the future of multi club ownership. Where is it heading, what does it mean for supporters, and how far can it go after seeing clubs like Chelsea use their links with Strasbourg to move players and even managers between teams?

We start with the biggest talking point as Paul Scholes is challenged on his criticism of Lisandro Martínez, sparking a heated debate about pundit responsibility and whether players are judged too harshly.

We also look at Manchester United, where Michael Carrick is in the spotlight, and debate whether he could earn a permanent role, plus where Bruno Fernandes ranks among the club’s greats.

Elsewhere, managerial pressure builds across the league with Chelsea, Spurs, Palace and West Ham all under discussion as fans give their views.

On this Overlap Exclusive, brought to you by Sky Bet, we sit down with Micky van de Ven for an open conversation about his journey in football and life at Tottenham Hotspur.

Van de Ven looks back at where it all began, breaking into the game before earning a move to Wolfsburg, where his performances in the Bundesliga put him on the radar of Europe’s biggest clubs.

He then reflects on his move to Tottenham, joining under Ange Postecoglou and being part of a side that went on to lift the Europa League. Micky opens up on what that period meant to him, how he felt when Ange was dismissed, and how the squad responded to change.

The conversation turns to the present day, as he discusses life under Thomas Frank, the challenges of the current season and what the manager has brought to the group.

Finally, Micky looks ahead to the future, sharing his ambitions with the Netherlands as the countdown begins towards the World Cup next year.
