How the Premier League Transformed English Football

Welcome to the 16th episode of The Artful Nutmeg. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the most followed and widely recognized football league in the world, the English Premier League. The Premier League sits at the top of the English football pyramid and has been the most dominant league in the world. Now, in 1992, it shook the football world when teams in England’s first division went to change the economic structure of the English League and broke away to form their own league. Sounds like Super League to us. Today’s show is a deep dive into a story of big money, star players, and an ongoing fight for the soul of football.

The Artful Nutmeg is the newest project by a couple of friends who share a deep love for soccer. This show explores the deeper world of soccer by examining some of the greatest stories and the lesser-known moments that have shaped the game. This podcast requires no prior knowledge of the game. Instead, this is a chance to build up appreciation for the game, its history, and the people who play for the love of it.
