Mr Marinakis, Morgan Gibbs-White and the curious case of Alexander Isak

On today's FSD, Niall and Marley discuss the mess that is the ongoing dispute between Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and UEFA around next season's Europa League place. Palace won the right to play in the competition through their FA Cup triumph, but part-owner John Textor's involvement with French side Lyon caused a breach of the rules regarding ownership, and Forest have been bumped into the Europa League, with Palace relegated into the Conference League. Is it a fair punishment for Palace to be turfed out of the competition they qualified for fair and square? Or is it a case of rules being rules and followed to the last detail? Evangelos Marinakis avoided a similar situation by putting his ownership of Forest into a 'blind trust' in order to comply with UEFA's rules, which seems like a convenient outcome. The lads go through the ins and outs of a sticky situation on today's podcast!

Congratulations to Chelsea, who can now officially call themselves Champions of the World after they blew away PSG with a scintillating performance in the USA. However, all the attention is on the US President Donald Trump and his awkward lingering, Michael Buffer turning up to the wrong sport, half-time interview nonsense and Robbie Williams confusing a largely American crowd. A year out from a North American World Cup, was this tournament a disaster for FIFA? Niall and Marley don't hold back with their thoughts...
