Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lionesses special: Esme Morgan & the next-gen midfielders
Q: What do you think about the midfield depth England now has with these younger players coming through?
There's genuine quality and balance; Lexi's creativity and Erica's ball-playing abilities complement Keira Walsh and the more experienced players, giving Serena a lot of tactical options and a real chance to experiment in non-competitive matches.
Lionesses special: Esme Morgan & the next-gen midfielders
Q: How was the press conference with Lexi and Erica for you, Esme?
It went well; I hadn't spoken to either of them much before, but they came across as thoughtful and excited, and it was clear their media presence is growing as they handle big questions with ease.
The Football Interview with Michele Kang
Q: How do you view the relationship between investment and sustainable success in women's football?
She argues that capital accelerates growth and that investing in facilities and staff is essential, not charity, and cites examples like attendance and club success to illustrate a high-return, long-term strategy.
The Football Interview with Michele Kang
Q: Why London City Lionesses as your big project and what were the early steps you took?
She describes promoting to the First Division, aligning resources, and building infrastructure to survive the first-year challenges, with emphasis on middle-ground performance to avoid immediate relegation and to establish a sustainable platform.
Jackie Bachteler on contracting sepsis
Q: What happened to you last season and how did it affect you personally and professionally?
Jackie describes a sudden collapse in health, severe sepsis requiring ICU care, and a long recovery, which reshaped her view of life, family, and leadership at Burnley.
