THE TIMES
About this episode

Gregor Robertson is joined by Tony Cascarino, Tom Allnutt and Alyson Rudd


The curtain comes down on another Premier League season and the final day saw Leeds & Leicester drop down to the Championship.


Despite survival is Sean Dyche the right man to keep Everton out of trouble and push them up the table?


Where did it all go wrong for Leicester? Premier League and FA Cup winners drop down to the Championship after 9 years in the top flight.


After going from Bielsa to Allardyce where do Leeds go from here?


Spurs won't be playing any form of European football for the first time in 14 years despite victory on the final day. We discuss whether Ryan Mason should get the job permanently and of course what happens with Harry Kane.


Aston Villa will be playing European football next season after Unai Emery's transformed them post Steven Gerrard. Why couldn't Gerrard get out the best from this squad?


And we review the season as a whole which has seen the Premier League season break mid way through for the World Cup and and a record number of managers losing their jobs.
