Planet Sport Football Africa

On this week’s show we ask whether African football would be better with no relegation. We hear from Andy Searles, a club chaplain in the US Major League Soccer, a franchise set-up, with no relegation and no promotion. The idea of having no relegation is because clubs invest a lot in stadiums and players, and the prospect of getting relegated soon after setting up a club would deter potential owners from setting up a club, and would hinder the development of football. Also Stuart looks at the final placings in the EPL, as Liverpool took third place.
