Adam Peacock and Robbie Slater are back on Straight Yellow to tackle one of the biggest stories in world football: Manchester City and the Premier League’s 115 financial charges.

The pair discuss the potential ramifications for Manchester City, the club’s supporters and players, the impact of the allegations on the Premier League, and what could happen if the case ultimately results in penalties. They also examine Financial Fair Play and Profit and Sustainability Rules, and how financial regulations are increasingly shaping the way football clubs operate.

Then it’s time to talk Socceroos. Adam and Robbie reflect on Australia’s performance against Brazil, the impact of the high press, the emergence of young players and the standout performances across the Australian defence.

The conversation then turns to the future of Australian football. Could this current generation become one of Australia’s greatest ever? And why is supporting the A-League so important to developing the next generation of Socceroos and Matildas?
