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.
As a Stoke fan, I love listening to the stories of TP. But to then add the stories of Mick McCarthy it makes a great podcast. They’ve had great guests such as Shaun Dyche and Roy Hodgson makes it a must listen.
This is a really great podcast if you REALLY want the nitty gritty of football management these two miss the point most times, spending a lot of their time with their guests talking over them and not listening whilst sticking rigidly to the script, comparing their guests stories to their own lives, and how great it was to beat Arsene Wenger
I cannot get enough of this podcast. Wish the episodes were twice as long.
Amazing people
