Sound of Football Podcast 348 - Crime and punishment
After a week's break in sunny climes, The Sound of Football team reassemble to discuss a story on their own doorsteps. Graham, Terry and Jan are all season tickets at their local non-league football club Whyteleafe FC, this week saw their club ejected from the FA Cup due to irregularities over the registration of one of their players.
The decision is up for appeal but with the competition in full swing and with three clubs all claiming to be the rightful club in the next round (and the rightful recipient of the respective prize money) we look at how governing bodies handle situations like this. We also extend the conversation to cover other occasions where a player's off-field activity can have far-reaching effects on their club.
