To many adverts for such a short show, other podcast are twice as long with less adverts.
Excellent podcast from two former managers who have seen it all.
Undr the Cosh is by far the best football podcasts, but this runs it a close second. I was searching for an alternative to UTC and this fills the gap. Mick & Tony have massive experience in football and have great stories. All their guests are top notch too. Keep up the good work!!
Gents, please let the guests finish their thoughts but overall a great pod, awesome tales.
Love this podcast, 2 experienced ex Managers who provide a brilliant insight to being a football manager.
One aspect I totally get is that leadership above tactics is key. I think you can be a great coach tactically, however, if you can’t lead people and motivate, you are doomed to failure.
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

Episodes often feature candid takes on club leadership, recruitment, and the pressures on managers, plus in-depth conversations with guests who have steered teams through highs and lows. A notable strength is the depth of experience the hosts bring, along with occasional light sponsor reads that keep the pace tight.
