Episode 2603: Harry Potter Reading Frenchmen Oust Potter, Bored Rodgers Bows Out, FSG Apologist Airs Views

There are seasons when nothing happens and there are weekends when seasons happen… the weekend just gone left us with a lot to get stuck into on today’s pod.

Graham Potter’s nightmare is over, Brendan Rodgers too has skiied off leaving Leicester to fight their way out of the relegation zone without him, and an angry Manchester United fan has been in touch demanding the smooth head of Erik ten Hag.

We discuss why Newcastle players run so much, and why Liverpool players don’t, before John Brewin and Jonathan Wilson join us to talk about why it didn’t work out for Potter? Can Nagelsmann skate straight in and sort it all out? Where does Brendan Rodgers go next? And do they agree with Ken’s sick FSG apologism?
