United Kingdoma month ago - It can!!!
Excellent podcast from two former managers who have seen it all.
Apple Podcasts5Steve5614United Kingdom2 months ago - One of the best football podcasts
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!!

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.
