As football finance hits the headlines, we take a look at how money influences the game. ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ football reporter Simon Stone explains why Manchester City is accused by the European governing body UEFA of having too much money pumped into it by its Abu Dhabi owners. Meanwhile Sepp Blatter, who was the head of the world football governing body FIFA for 17 years, tells us why he's sceptical about the effectiveness of UEFA's financial fair play rules. Also in the programme, a planned tie-up between Fiat Chrysler and Renault has fallen through, whilst Ford has announced the closure of an engine plant in the UK. We look at the wider implications for the industry with Anna-Marie Baisden, head of autos research at Fitch Solutions. Plus Denmark has elected its youngest ever prime minister. We find out what a return to the Social Democrats will mean for the country's business community.
