Does the Champions League really need to be more like the Super Bowl?

The Athletic's Matt Slater has a double helping of football business for you - looking at the ongoing debate around the future of the Champions League in the wake of Nasser Al-Khelaifi's suggestion that it needs to be more like the Super Bowl, and we also delve into the Championship to examine the ever-growing disparity between the haves and the have-nots as parachute payments continue to wreak havoc with competitive balance.
Our guests today are sponsorship and marketing expert Tim Crow &amp; football finance expert Dr Dan Plumley.
