Summary
The prodigal manager Paul Sampson returns to the Royal Oak FC hot seat with some demands. In this episode they discuss plans to turn around the club's fortunes and listen to Paul's demands for change; which mainly involves Bob The Bucket going on a physio course. Someone's also got to break the news to Parksey that his interim reign is over. In the wider football world, the lads dig into the clash between Gabriel and Erling Haaland, raise a glass to Coventry City on their promotion, and cast an eye over the increasingly frantic non-league promotion race. There's also the small matter of Vincent Kompany apparently raiding Bracknall's wardrobe and Paolo Di Canio headbutting a table during Italian Champions League coverage. VAR. XG. Inverted wing backs. The game has well and truly gone. Via his very own podcast, Steve Bracknall, Sunday league assistant manager and viral sensation will bring it back. Direct from the dressing room of his team, Royal Oak FC, Steve is joined by gaffer Paul Sampson and physio Bob the Bucket. Every episode, they’ll make sense of all the week’s footballing news and bring you updates from the Oak… Send your questions and voice notes to [email protected] or via whatsapp 0800 7831997 Marching on, together as one.
