  • Superb Football Podcast

    I’m a Villa fan and have listened to every podcast so far and love the format and content. I’ve met you Christian a few times at Villa Supporters Trust AGMs when I was a director there and I always thought you were a really decent guy and someone who knows football inside out. You did a great job for Villa. Your analysis on the podcast is second to none; clear and concise and explained in detail everyone can understand. Henry you are a top journalist - we haven’t met but I worked with Rob Carles... more

  • Great Content!

    Well done both! I’ve always been a fan of Henry, & through club rivalries have never had any time for Christian (MUFC Fan). But as always in these tribal situations he’s proved me wrong with his expert knowledge on running a football club. The show is a great alternative slant on football. I really hope you both consider doing more than once a week! Maybe a second show could be more of a general roundup of current events in the football world, rather than a boardroom based take. Either way congr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Coventry owner Doug King on promotion and Premier League survival | The Football Boardroom
Q: What was your decision-making process in hiring Frank Lampard and restructuring the coaching staff?
Doug explains a thorough CV review, a private interview process, and a preference for leaders with resilience and experience, followed by a clear plan that integrates the head coach with the recruitment and playing style.
Q & A: Liverpool ticket prices, Man Utd’s ownership, SCR and more
Q: Can you see any way the Qataris would buy out the Glazers at Manchester United?
Technically possible since the Glazers still own a large majority, but the practical dynamics include existing governance arrangements and the fact that any sale would hinge on available strategic investors and the willingness of all stakeholders to accept the price and terms.
Gareth Southgate | The Football Boardroom
Q: But just everyone talks about the impossible job. But is it also the loneliest job?
Southgate reflects on leadership being inherently lonely, especially with limited trusted advisers in the high-pressure environment of managing a national team.
Gareth Southgate | The Football Boardroom
Q: In your book, there was a line that intrigued me about red lines in values and culture. Is there a point where you accommodate talent despite reservations over values?
Southgate indicates that while there may be allowances for superstar players, off-field character issues are critical and can lead to tough disciplinary decisions.
Gareth Southgate | The Football Boardroom
Q: How do you think about Manchester United?
He acknowledges Manchester United as an enormous club but notes the reputational constraints that come with being England's former manager.
