This week on The Sports Agents...

Ahead of the opening matchday of the new and extended
Champions League, we were joined by UEFA vice
secretary general Giorgio Marchetti and European
Clubs Association CEO Charlie Marshall.

They discussed the suggestion that players may need to strike
over the ever-increasing number of games and why UEFA's recent
letter to No.10 Downing St. was not a thinly-veiled threat to
Keir Starmer's government and their plans to introduce an
independent football watchdog. And responded to criticism that
this new competition format is just a European Super League Mk
II.

Later in the week, Gabby and Mark were joined by Olympic bronze
medal boxer Lewis Richardson for an insight into
what actually happens when an amateur decides to turn
professional.

Plus, as the new WSL season kicks off, it's first-ever Chief Exec
Nikki Doucet was in our studio to talk about the
big split from the FA this summer and the big challenges facing
women's football.
