About this episode

Hugh Woozencroft is joined by Tom Clarke, James Restall and Jonathan Northcroft.


Roy Hodgson has returned to management with Watford. Should he have been given the job instead of Claudio Ranieri in the first place? (00:00)


Vitor Pereira did a television interview in the middle of having talks to become the new Everton manager - simply put, why? (15:02)


We take a look at the current crop of young managers in the Championship with the likes of Nottingham Forest impressing under Steve Cooper and Wayne Rooney doing a remarkable job under tough circumstances at Derby County (21:36)


We take a look at League One and James thinks he witnessed the worst game he’s ever seen - but which game was it? (37:44)


With terrible games in the back of our minds (thanks to James) we end with the most boring games we’ve ever been unlucky enough to witness (48:35)
